Welcome to one of the original adobe block, ranch homes in the neighborhood with arguably some of the best mountain views in town! Our cozy 2 bedroom/1 bath main home offers a quiet getaway out of town to guests, while still close enough to several hiking, golfing, cycling, and shopping amenities! Recently updated and remodeled, this home offers a rustic western theme with Spanish adobe block construction, original pine tongue and groove ceilings, and a wonderful wood burning fireplace in the living room. This lovely 3.5 acre property offers countless mature mesquite trees, several saguaros, and breathtaking views of thimble peak and the Catalina mountains. Sip coffee and enjoy the scenery on the front patio during a beautiful sunrise, or spend an evening viewing one of our gorgeous Arizona sunsets off the master bedroom porch.
You can grill on the propane BBQ or just relax with a glass of wine from the neighboring vineyards in Sonoita and Elgin. We are minutes away from numerous outdoor activities to keep visitors entertained year-round: Pristine golf courses such as Arizona National Golf Club (1 mile) and Forty-Niners Country Club (3 miles) offer tee-times throughout the entire year. Great hiking/site seeing/and animal watching locations such as Saguaro National Monument East or Sabino Canyon are a short drive away. Various bike paths surround the Tanque Verde Valley for cycling enthusiasts, as well as Catalina Highway’s bike path that leads to Summerheaven and look out points. For those cyclists who chose to stay off the main roads, Tucson has to offer over 100 miles of 'The Loop.' Please check it out online.
Grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants are all within a five minute drive from the Casita. You can visit all locally owned Fire Truck Brewery, Taco Giro, and Bear Canyon Pizza, see live bands play in the evenings, or sit down for dinner at any of the additional 10 neighboring restaurants within a three mile radius.
In addition, our property includes wireless internet for guests.
The main house is about 150 feet from a separate casita on the property, but feels much further away with vegetation that separates the two. (PLEASE SEE OUR guest home on the property; "Ranch Casita," Property # 824379 for more availability and a reputable review record)
