About this property
Tranquil Retreat with Gorgeous near 360-degree Mountain Views!
Private home backing up to an arroyo provides views of 8 mountain ranges- including the Santa Rita, Patagonia, and Huachuca. Enjoy relaxing on the large custom-crafted flagstone patio while you grill and watch the beautiful sunsets behind the Tumacaroris reflecting off Mount Wrightson to the East. As the sun goes down, enjoy the sight of the sacred mountain Baboquivari falling into shadow. The lack of ambient light at night allows for incredible star-gazing, and the solitude provides great opportunities for contemplation and relaxing.
The interior of the house is simple and designed to maintain the stillness you experience outside. High-speed internet is provided. There is a large open layout, and the dining room has a door out to the patio. The kitchen is equipped with all that you need to create delicious meals, and there is adequate dinnerware to serve meals for groups of 8 on the solid walnut dining table. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, antique furniture, walk-in closet and a private bath. There is a queen bed with an antique dresser and a modern nightstand in one of the bedrooms. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds with a modern dresser. The two bathrooms have tubs.
Located near Rio Rico, it is 20 minutes from Tubac, 15 minutes from Tumacacori National Historical Park and 45 minutes from Patagonia State Park/Sonoita State Creek National area, providing excellent opportunities for birding. Madera Canyon, one of the largest Madrean Sky Islands and home to 256 species of birds, is also close by. My car is in storage under the carport so only foot traffic and sitting in carport area, no place under carport for another car, sorry.
