Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We are at the base of the Tortolita Mountains on the far Northwest side of Tucson. New shopping centers are being built minutes from us, but our only views, from high on a plateau, are of the Catalina & Tortolita Mountains, plus the gorgeous saguaro forest(cactus giants of our special Sonoran desert).
The Unique Benefits at this House
Because our property is on 10 acres and there are not many homes in our area, we get a tremendous amount of birds/wildlife. Javelina(pecaries), bobcats, fox, deer, jackrabbits, rock, harris and the antelope squirrels, coyote, roadrunners, and more....you may see gambel quail with their babies, or the flowering cacti if you are here at the right time of year. Our winter weather is savored by everyone, worldwide and our spring and fall seasons are fabulous. Please contact us with any questions you may have. We are very friendly and easy to talk to.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
Casita Del Sol was built on our 10 acres, with it's garage and our home's garage facing each other for maximum privacy. Each home is on at least 5 acres each. Larry & Claire Klingler are the owners and are in our mid 60's. We love to travel around the world and also meet new people here at home. WE hope you will come see us soon. We have a very unique setting, and gated privacy.
