Dean Martin, a master crooner, recorded songs that will forever be related to him and him alone. As the current generation says "ho hum . .", they should also know that Martin knocked the Beatles from the No. 1 spot in the U.S. in 1964, and was a player to be reckoned with as well as being a film star, part of the well-known comedy act, Dean Martin and Jerry Louis, nightclub star and star of television and concert stage. He was also a member of the Rat Pack and spent 30 years performing in Las Vegas. So what inspired Dean? We think it was partly getting away from the craziness to revel in the view from his Tucson, Arizona house and play a few rounds of golf.

So many celebrities choose Arizona as their place to kick back, play golf, evade prying eyes and privately enjoy the drama of the brilliant desert sunsets. They did and still do find inspiration in gazing over the landscape of architectural cactus and colorful desert wildflowers with the mountainous backdrop. Dean Martin chose this house as his getaway from his hectic schedule and extreme social life where he could enjoy the veranda overlooking the lush golf course and Lemon Mountain beyond. Though touted to be a "boozer", it is not so widely known that Dean didn’t spend his evenings in wild Rat Pack partying, but instead preferred to go home and spend time with his family and play a little golf. This home was likely a notable part of their "together" time.

Built in 1973, this 6,097sf home is tucked away in Tucson’s 650 acre Omni Tucson National Estates Golf Resort, considered to be one of the 75 best golf resorts in North America. Views from the home’s multiple terraces and balconies overlook the 36-hole championship and desert-style golf courses. The home, on 1.30 acres, has 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, formal rooms, breakfast room, fireplace and a large covered terrace with arches framing the views and open terrace areas. There is also a pool terrace and guest house. The Omni Resort facilities offer a number of dining venues such as the award winning Bob's Steak & Chop House. The 13,000 square-foot spa has every conceivable luxury to keep you feeling and looking your best.
