About this house rental
Historic Casa Cheruy is an award-winning adobe estate set on two secluded acres in the heart of the Fort Lowell Historic District, just moments from Craycroft Road and Fort Lowell Road. Offering a rare combination of central location, privacy, and architectural integrity, this iconic East-Central Tucson property delivers an immersive historic experience with the comfort and amenities expected of a luxury retreat.
The main house features three generous bedrooms and three full baths, with original colored concrete and brick floors, hand-carved ceilings, exposed vigas, and a dramatic sculpted fireplace anchoring the salon-style living room. Thick adobe walls and carefully preserved materials create a sense of calm, permanence, and intimacy that modern construction cannot replicate.
ARCHITECTURE, GROUNDS and OUTDOOR LIVING
Casa Cheruy is an elegant example of vernacular Spanish-Pueblo Revival architecture, a regional style popularized in the early twentieth century and defined by organic massing, thick adobe walls, and handcrafted details.
The home is nestled within a mature mesquite bosque, with expansive outdoor spaces designed for gathering and relaxation. The large backyard is bordered by an original farm fence and offers multiple areas for outdoor dining, barbecuing, and entertaining. Adobe ruins and historic remnants are scattered across the grounds, reinforcing the sense of place and continuity. A circular drive lined with desert creosote provides private off-street parking and a gracious arrival experience.
From the living spaces, guests enjoy unobstructed views of the Santa Catalina Mountains, particularly striking at sunrise and dusk.
