Real Estate

It's not hard to see why Dove Mountain, located against the West face of the Tortolita Mountains, is in high demand for home buyers.

Aside from location, location, location... your backyard is a playground of activity. Nestled amongst Northwest Tucson's picturesque Tortolita mountain range, interstate access is a quick eight minute drive from Dove Mountain, making commutes simple. Dove Mountain is well off the beaten path, yet readily accessible.

You'll find several great dining options, salons, grocery, urgent care, vet and hospital within minutes. Need a great gift or a new outfit for an event? The high-end outlet mall is just 10 minutes away.

What draws people, mostly, is the ability to be outdoors non-stop, and that feeds the active soul. Between the Tortolita Preserve and the Tortolita Mountain Park, enjoy 50+ miles of biking, hiking and horse trails.

For the golf enthusiast, choose from 63 holes of championship golf between The Gallery Golf Club (former host of the PGA) and The Golf Club at Dove Mountain. Sip a cocktail or cold beer afterwards at any of the clubhouses or restaurants, taking in the breathtaking views that surround you. 

Dove Mountain is also home to The Ritz Carlton, the Five Star resort that stands guard at Wild Burro Canyon. Enjoy a memorable meal here on the patio at sunset, while a flutist plays overlooking that Ignite patio (reminiscent of the Hohokam Indians that occupied this area 1200 years ago). Hike behind the Ritz and see some amazing petroglyphs left behind from the native people. Hike a little deeper into the canyon to the Ridgeline Trail to possibly see the famed wild horses of The Tortolitas.
