Tucson Mountains Home Overlooking City

Our house can provide you with a unique Tucson experience. A few of our guests’ comments: “This is a gorgeous very private livable house with multiple patios and a private pool all with great city views. Very close to town....” “This house is awesome!!! We loved it and really enjoyed our stay there. The house and scenery is gorgeous!...” “We wanted you to know we had such an enjoyable stay at your beautiful home. It was a very cozy and peaceful place, and we had great afternoon siestas!...” Our own sentiments, exactly. You can sit on your porch or by your swimming pool and look out over the hills to the Tucson valley and Tucson city lights below. Or sit in your dining room, sunroom or one of the bedrooms and view the same scene through the Italian arches that characterize this adobe brick home. You will enjoy the new comfortable furnishings, decorations and talevera tile laid out in the house's seven spacious rooms and three bathrooms (a total of 2400 square feet), but you will find the surrounding environment just as comfortable. We have provided you 37 photographs here and on the website link shown below so that you can SEE FOR YOURSELF. We hope this takes the guessing out of renting our house. If you have further questions, please ask. Many Tucson homes are closed in and not oriented toward the outside because the desert surrounding these houses is a bit dry, harsh, and, frankly, uninviting. However, the views of the shade trees and gardens in our yard as well as the surrounding green hills enhance your pleasure while you are inside the house and draw you outside through the sliding doors to enjoy the porches, patios, and yard. For example, when we are there, we eat most of our meals outside on the patio off the dining room under the shade of a roof. The numerous shade trees, the pool, and 15 tall saguaro cactuses on the property make a uniquely welcoming environment, EVEN IN THE HOT SUMMER. In this unique neighborhood directly West of the city all the homes are spaced far apart at many different elevations so that our house has great privacy and quiet. The neighborhood backs up to the Tucson Mountain Park and is hillier and more scenic than you will find in the Catalina Foothills North of the city. Just a few miles up the road you will find beautiful Gates Pass that takes you down into the next valley where you can visit the Desert Museum and Old Tucson, the ex-movie location. Watching the sunset from atop Gates Pass is a favorite pastime of ours and many other Tucsonians. Being this "far away" from the noisy city does not mean that you will be isolated. There are neighbors nearby and you will be located only ten minutes from Interstate I-10 ( at Speedway) and 12 minutes to downtown Tucson and the University of Arizona. There you will find museums as well as both upscale and funky craft stores to explore at your leisure. You can enter “Via Mallorca” into MapQuest and see where our house is located.
