About This Home

Located above the artists' and bird watchers' paradise of Tubac, Arizona, this southwestern-style home is set on 4.1 acres, enough for horses or other livestock. The entire property is enclosed by a combination of an artistically welded steel fence (40%) and a closely positioned barbed-wire fence (60%) that excludes cattle and javelina. A rolling steel gate encloses the driveway, and two additional steel gates provide access along the perimeter. The home features expansive open-sky views of the Santa Rita Mountains to the east and the Tumacacori Mountains to the west. In the main residence, oversize windows in the living room, foyer, and kitchen overlook a veranda with outside dining and seating areas. The west-facing dining room looks over the courtyard entrance to the home. The large beamed living room and primary bedroom in the main house feature kiva-style fireplaces, one gas and the other wood-burning. A nearly wall-sized picture window in the primary bedroom allows viewing of the more than 70 species of birds that come to feeders. A large walk-in closet is a feature of the primary bathroom. Most large windows in the home have outside electric rolling shades. A two-car garage attached to the main house contains built-in shelves that provide ample storage. An enclosed courtyard with mature landscaping faces the Santa Rita Mountains and surrounds a pool, spa, and grilling station. Much of the acreage outside the walled areas has mature trees and other desert plants. An attached casita with a kitchenette and full bath offers privacy and flexibility for guests or multi-generational households. An attached but separate building contains two large rooms and a half-bath that are currently used as offices and art/music studios but can be used as bedrooms. A center room with numerous cabinets, drawers, and shelves has been used as a darkroom. An expansive RV garage and workshop are major features of this building.
