Rio Rico House | Stunning High Desert View in Secluded Mountain Setting

3 Bedroom House in Rio Rico

If the sweeping scenery, luscious silence, and the high Sonoran desert of Southern Arizona is your passion, then you have found the perfect "snowbird" home away from home. With a 180 degree sweep of rolling high-desert foothills that lead up to the 9,000 foot peak, Mt. Wrightson, you will be amazed that there are no houses to mar you view.
Enjoy dinner and a sunset on the expansive "Sunset Magazine" inspired flagstone patio that becomes one of the best "rooms" in the house. Afterwards, as the stars slowly fill the night sky, luxuriate in an intimate hot tub with the same stunning views.
If you enjoy stargazing, there is virtually no light pollution as the stars light up the night sky. If you enjoy birding, you are in one of the premier areas in Southern Arizona to pursue your hobby. You are only 30 minutes from Patagonia with it's world-renowned bird sanctuary! You can also hike right from your back door to a series of trails that follow Sonoita creek and wind throughout the foothills.
If art is your thing, you are twenty minutes from the famous artist colony, Tubac, formerly a Spanish presidio from the 1600's. If history is your bent, you have Tombstone, Bisbee, Tucson, and all the western and Spanish history, all within an hours drive.
If you enjoy birding, you already know that Southern Arizona is a birder's paradise. Fifty Places to Go Birding Before You Die: Birding Experts Share the World’s Greatest Destinations. Patagonia – which lies 60 miles south of Tucson – garnered its ranking as a world-class birding destination and the heart of Arizona birding for a number of reasons: from the variety of bird species seen here (including a number of rare species) to the accessibility of prime birdwatching sites to the area’s geological and ecological diversity and beauty. Patagonia is only 40 minutes from the house!
You can hike and bike right out the door from our place. Below the house is Sonoita creek with an extensive hiking trail system. There are also numerous bike trails throughout the area.

Summary: Wow...this property is just about perfection.What an amazing experience… A fantastic setting with spacious mountain and canyon views. Remote, but still a very convenient location. With a full supermarket, shopping in Tubac, dining at Wisdoms Cafe…all within about a 15 or 20 minute drive.This home has everything to make for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. So many amenities, so little time to utilize them all. A built-in gas grill, gas fireplace, Sirius radio, (2) TVs, a wonderful library… Everything to add to the comfort, functionality and ambiance of the home.Carew is such a great host. Excellent communicator, offering great suggestions and ideas. Much of my time was simply sitting on the beautiful flagstone patio, gazing out at Sonoita Creek, Patagonia Lake, watching the cattle feed in the distance….and enjoying the quiet solitude.This property is not only a home away from home… it is a wonderful, unforgettable experience. Carew- thank you my friend, for the memories. Happy trails until we meet again.
