Bunk down in cozy comfort on my little Ranchita. QUIET DESERT OASIS. Secluded, very private three acres, fenced and gated, surrounded by mature desert (mesquite, palo verde and ironwood) trees and majestic saguaros. Guest house is separate from Ranchita’s main house, with private entrance, driveway, and front door parking. Bright and sunny, with lots of windows: rooms painted with natural earth tone accents. The Guest house is furnished in comfortable western style, with microfiber “suede” couch and love seat, vintage table for two, king size bed, soft fleece blanket, extra quilts, and lots of pillows. Televisions in the living room and bed room. Large walk-in closet in bedroom, pantry in kitchen, and coat-closet in living room. Full kitchen, down to the last detail for fixing your holiday dinner - you need it the kitchen’s got it. Place settings for four. All you bring are the groceries.
COME RELAX. Outside you will find wonderful views of the Catalina and Tortolita mountains, spacious patios with hot tub, fire pit, exceptional barbecue area and fountains. Hot tub, fully enclosed for privacy in gazebo that opens onto patio with waterfall and trickling stream flowing down to the pond. YOU WILL LOVE IT. Front porch, with swing to sit and watch the sun set or read a Louis L’Amour western novel or book on Arizona and the old west from the Guest house library.
By special arrangement, the Ranchita may be reserved for large gatherings or reserve a private room in the Ranchita's main house.

Map & Owner's Profile
Bunkhouse: Bunk Down in Cozy Comfort on Ranchita
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Other Tucson Properties
Three years ago, we built the guest house. Last year, Mom lived there for two months while she nursed a sick horse back to health. She enjoyed the simplicity and thought what a great place to vacation. Now, I rent the bunkhouse to a few well-chosen guests, who seem to enjoy it as much as Mom did when she stayed there.
The Unique Benefits at this Guest House
The bunkhouse sits to the back of the 3-acre Ranchita, nestled in between mature desert mesquite, palo verde, and ironwood trees. This will be a unique experience, where you can literally watch the sun set in the west and sit under the stars of the wide-open sky. This is not a house in a subdivision. The Ranchita offers spacious patios, barbecues, fountains, and a hot tub, fully enclosed in a gazebo for privacy. The private room in the main house is upstairs, with its own entrance, bathroom, and balcony. There is no greater view of the Arizona sunset than from that balcony. Both the bunkhouse and the private room in the main house have been newly decorated with your every comfort in mind. Either in the bunkhouse or the mainhouse, this is the place to RELAX.
Public golf course and baseball and softball diamonds (little league)

My little Ranchita suits me just fine. It seems like I am out in the big wide open desert, but I am really in town, with all the big-city conveniences at my fingertips.
