Quiet desert retreat with sunset views and dark skies. 10 minutes from I-10.

Drink in the 270 degree desert views at this tranquil getaway. Our newly remodeled home sways with the quiet beat of its magnificent desert setting. Spend your days hiking the trails or visiting historic, funky Tucson, then kick back for a sunset barbecue on the patio. Chances are you'll be visited by squadron of javelina and be serenaded by coyotes while taking in the night sky.

Our goal was to embrace our home's fabulous views and warm vibe as we have embarked on our year-long remodel. We think we've succeeded. The kitchen/family room, tv/living room, and back patio organically pull family and friends together to enjoy the outdoors, play cards, or snuggle up for movie night. Set in the back of the house, the bedrooms are quiet retreats.

The home is set on the corner of a 3-plus acre corner lot in a sparsely populated neighborhood about 3 miles from I-10. Wildlife trails traverse the property, and it is not uncommon to see (and hear) javelina, deer, coyotes, rabbits, hares, and a great variety of birds. We are less than a mile from the back country of Saguaro National Park West (the world's 9th certified Urban Night Sky Place), and our area is blessed with many hiking/mountain biking trails. The Tucson Loop is about 2 miles away.*

So while the neighborhood is quiet, it boasts easy access to Tucson's many restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. Tucson is a UNESCO designated City of Gastronomy and the culinary scene is something you'll certainly want to experience. We keep puzzles, cards, and board games in the house and have a port-a-crib, high chair, infant/toddler toys, and a plastic wading pool for our grandchildren that we are happy to make available on request.

Nota Bene: We are still adding decor and have some exterior work and landscaping to attend to (hence bargain rates for 2024). We are also are adding a 4th bedroom with in-suite bath -- watch for updated images. This work will only progress when guests are NOT renting the home.

*Though many people walk and bike the road to the Loop and other established trail heads, this to our minds dangerous and we hope you'll consider using the bike rack that we can supply with advance notice.
