Location: Tubac, Tucson & Southern Arizona, Arizona, USA
Accommodations: Villa, 5 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths (Sleeps 6-10)
Villa Serena is a newly completed 6000 square foot Tuscan style farmhouse and casita on 37 acres in the foothills overlooking Tubac, Arizona. The house was built by award winning builder Tom Wuelpern to resemble a 17th century Italian farmhouse. The house was started in 2002 and finished in 2006.
The back porch of the villa gazes out across Josephine Canyon towards the beautiful peaks of Mt. Wrightson and Mt. Hopkins.
The farmhouse style of living has not been lost in this adobe mud revival home; you will get lost in time in a 30 foot long interior breezeway with 100 year old wood beams and exposed earthen walls.
Upstairs floors are all antique teak from a textile mill in India which were painstakingly brought to Arizona...There are also five sets of antique doors, some with age old stained glass transoms.
The master bedroom suite contains a separate sitting room, separate enclosed balcony room, copper bathtub and travertine walk-in shower and another doorway to the front balcony...
We share this fully furnished dream villa and location in Southern Arizona with you.
