Tortolita House | Desert Guesthouse - 10 Acre Property NW Tucsonnn

2 Bedroom House in Tortolita, Tucson

Please note that due to local regulations the property is generally only available for 30 days or more. Please contact me for shorter stays.
This 10 acre property is located in the uplands of the Sonoran Desert. It is surrounded with majestic saguaros, ironwood trees and cactus abound. The property is in a pocket of natural desert yet just 5 minutes to I10 (Twin Peaks interchange). The guesthouse sits on its own private area and can barely see the main house. You may watch Harris and Redtail Hawks flying overhead, catch a glimpse of a great western owl or a bobcat and see the roadrunner and coyotes scampering the grounds. The hummingbirds winter here as well and if you supply the nectar in the feeders they will grace your presence. The roads are dirt however we are only approx. 1/4 mile to the nearest paved road. The area has horse ranches and you are likely to see the equestrians and cowboys strolling the roads along with a mule drawn cart on occasion. It is excellent for hiking and mountain biking. There are numerous golf courses nearby from the Ritz Carlton at Dove Mtn (along with the Gallery and Heritage Highlands) - to the local county course at Arthur Pack.
The guesthouse has a master bedroom with a king bed as well as a television. The second bedroom has a twin(w/ pop up trundle). All luxury linens are included. The greatroom/kitchen offers comfort to watch a smart 55 inch television. You can stream many channels. We offer fast WiFi - 200mbps download and 40 mbps upload speeds There is a fireplace in the greatroom. The living room and dining room are in the Arizona Room - a room that is glass on all three sides. This room is wonderful for reading and for watching the hummingbirds and desert wildlife coming and going. The main area of the guest house has bamboo flooring and the Arizona room is all Mexican Saltillo tile. Outside you will find 2 large covered porches, a flagstone patio and lighted ramada along with a BBQ grill. This house also has an oversized carport with a large laundry and outdoor storage room attached.
We are minutes to the U of A, downtown (Trolley) and less than 1.5 hrs to Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix. The Tucson airport is approx. 20 minutes away. Come relax and enjoy the dry warmth of the desert. Summers offer spectacular lightning events and wonderful sunsets. The heat is dry and the temps can drop 25 degrees in 15 minutes after a shower - which rarely lasts over 20 minutes.
Of course our winters are the 'high' season and what better place to escape the cold, damp weather. Late January - February will bring us the Tucson Gem Show (world’s largest) . We have several golf tournaments in February as well as the Tucson Rodeo Parade- the world's largest non motorized parade before the rodeo. El Tour de Tucson - Bicycle race in November is a world class event.
My husband and I live on the property and have been in Tucson for almost 40 years enjoying the southwest deserts. We are avid hikers and when not in Tucson you will find us escaping to the cool rivers of the western states or perhaps to the beaches of Mexico. We enjoy cooking, sharing recipes, tales of travels over a glass of wine. We can be quietly friendly or here to help you enjoy and plan your stay in the Tucson Desert.
Tucson is a great place to enjoy the out of doors and the multicultural heritage of the area.

Summary: This is the best rental we have ever stayed at! It feels like a secluded oasis with lots of land, incredible landscaping and terrific views of the mountains during the day and city lights and stars at night. Although it feels secluded it's conveniently located to many amenities. Patty and Jim are also the best hosts we have ever encountered. They made us feel welcome the entire time and provided many recommendations for music, food, recreation and other things. During our stay we purchased a new home in the Tucson area and it's good to know we've met our first friends already! Can't recommend this property enough!
