Tucson’s Hot Springs @ The Oasis has a rich history dating back to 1978 when Robert and Marilyn Kelm purchased the land and discovered a natural artesian hot spring. Over the years, the property has evolved, once being part of a historic ranch and hot springs resort that served guests seeking the healing properties of the springs. Nestled near Agua Caliente Park, the land has deep roots in Tucson’s heritage, with a legacy of offering tranquility and rejuvenation.
In 2022, the Paye family acquired the property and breathed new life into it. Under Jeff Paye’s vision, the land was transformed into a lush oasis, complete with two natural hot springs, a bird sanctuary, and upgraded amenities. The property now offers a perfect blend of history and modern luxury, providing a serene retreat for those looking to experience Tucson’s unique desert beauty.
In 1978, Robert and Marilyn Kelm purchased over 5 acres of land in Tucson, where a Native American water diviner discovered a natural artesian hot spring. This unique find turned the property into a peaceful sanctuary, tied to the history of Agua Caliente Park, a nearby site with roots going back to the mid-1800s, once used by ranchers and travelers for its natural springs.
The land, which was part of a larger ranch established in the 1870s, became known for its healing waters. By the 1880s, it had transformed into a hot springs resort, where visitors would come to soak in the springs for their reputed health benefits. The lush desert environment and soothing hot springs provided a serene escape for many.
In 2022, after decades of deferred maintenance, the Paye family purchased the property. Under the vision of Jeff Paye, the land underwent a complete restoration, transforming it into a luxurious desert retreat. He added two natural hot springs, a bird sanctuary, hiking trails, and renovated the lake, making it healthier and more vibrant.
