About this property
A peaceful property nestled at the base of the beautiful Tucson Mountains
This peaceful five acre property nestled at the base of the beautiful Tucson Mountains provides a quiet get away in the midst of the Sonoran desert within a few minutes of the excitement of the city of Tucson.
A bird and wildlife watching haven.
Our home was hand built by a homesteading family with stone quarried from the nearby Tucson Mountains and is a true one of a kind
It offers a unique character all its own, from the cozy inside to our many outdoors living spaces.
We have kept the rustic charm of our home to honor its past so expect some quirks!
This is a well-loved, pet and family friendly home perfect those who love nature, hiking, wildlife and bird watching.

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Bailes
I grew up in this home and on this land and have always delighted in the many facets of the Tucson Mountain area.
We also love being able to access downtown Tucson so easily. We take advantage of the live music scene. Jose is a musician and Tucson has a great music scene.
We are excited to host because our home brings us and our friends joy and we want to share that with others.

Why they chose this property
From our patios, you can watch the famous Sonoran desert sunrise and sunsets. Just before dawn, the coyotes run the washes yipping to each other. Owls hoot in the moonlight.
In the mornings, you can enjoy your coffee while watching the many varieties of local and seasonal birds gather at our bird feeders.

What makes this property unique
Our home was hand built by homesteaders out of stone quarried from the Tucson Mountains. We have intentionally maintained the rustic elements of the original construction and mirrored them in our additions.
The property abuts a natural wash, encouraging the wildlife to flow through and near the property. It is not unusual to see javelina, coyote, bobcat, deer and a wide variety of birds.
