Private Ranch Retreat, Mtn. Views, Salt Pool & Spa

Summary:
Enjoy the privacy and views from this spacious 2900sqft 4BR/3.5BA ranch (newly renovated bathrooms and pool) welcoming you through the private courtyard with a large salt pool and spa w/ Baja Deck and desert landscaping. Stunning views of the Rincon and Catalina mountain ranges set the backdrop for this exclusive desert retreat. Just steps from Saguaro National Park, there are limitless hiking, biking and horse trails available.

The Space:
Set on 4.5 acres of pristine Sonoran Desert beside Saguaro National Park, this private ranch retreat offers mountain views, open skies, and room to relax. Enjoy the sparkling salt pool with Baja deck, heated spa, and landscaped courtyard. Multiple outdoor spaces invite you to unwind — dine under the Ramada with built-in BBQ and lights, or curl up with a book in the screened Arizona Room overlooking the courtyard.

Inside, a split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy and comfort for families and groups. The main kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for entertaining, including convection ovens, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, and butcher block — plus a bonus prep kitchen for extra space and appliances. Gather in the formal dining room, living room, or Arizona Room, and let the “flex room” with extra bunk beds add flexibility.

With space to spread out, both indoors and out, this home is designed for enjoyment and desert living — whether you’re soaking in the pool/spa, grilling at sunset, or heading straight to hiking and biking trails just steps away.

Guest Access:
You will have the entire ranch to yourselves. We do have weekly pool service and monthly yard maintenance, so you may see those service people during your stay, but they will stay out of your way.

The Neighborhood:
The properties in the Historic Notch neighborhood are all on at least 3 acres, so you'll have ultimate privacy. The stunning views of the Catalina and Rincon Ranges from the courtyard, living room and bedrooms are sure to inspire. Watch the sunrise light up the Rincons from the courtyard by the pool. And watch the gorgeous sunset views as the sun goes down on the Catalinas. Wildlife is abundant and frequently seen throughout the property.

Getting Around:
Easy to get in and out of town by way of Speedway or Broadway. 30 minutes from Tucson International Airport. Safeway, Whole Foods, Costco, Target, Walmart, Sprouts and other major names all close by within 5-20 minutes.

Interaction with Guests:
We will always be available to assist with any needs or questions throughout your stay by phone, text, or email. We can send our maintenance team as needed for repairs or issues.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Everything was very beautiful, neat, tidy, and all the amenities supplied were perfect. The pool is gorgeous. The views are stunning. It feels like you are in Saguaro national Park in your own private abode. We would give it six stars if we could! Highly recommended. All the best from Jeanne and Robert.

Amazing views!!

We had an amazing stay at this home! The view out the back of the house was incredible, and the walled-in front/pool area gave us a wonderful place to relax and recharge. It was such a peaceful week for us, and we are grateful to have spent time at this home. The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable, plenty of towels were provided, and not having to buy toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, hand soap, etc was very appreciated! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Quiet Desert Retreat

Our multigenerational family loved the calming comfort of the nature sounds surrounding this desert property. It feels isolated but, in fact, is only minutes from shopping and services.The home is comfortably equipped, furnished, and decorated, making it easy to move right in and feel at home.Everyone loved the pool throughout the day and the sunrises and sunsets from the courtyard were incredible.We all hope to return to this gem in the desert.

Second visit

This is our second time visiting this property. This time we brought friends and everyone enjoyed. Plenty of space for all of us to spread out and sleep. Beds were fantastic and lots of nice upgrades including the pool and bathrooms! Kitchen is very well stocked - we cooked a Thanksgiving feast and had everything we needed. Views are amazing, we hope to visit again soon.

Great vacation house!

We stayed for a week during my daughters college graduation. This house is perfect for relaxing with family. There’s a lot more room than we expected, two office areas that we used almost daily and the pool area is set up great for entertaining. You feel very secluded and it has a very comfortable resort vibe. I would definitely stay here again!

Exceptional Private Retreat

The property and location are exceptional. We spent our annual Spring Break trip with our 8 year old granddaughter. We swam every day in the saline pool and enjoyed S’mores at the fire pit. The walled yard was safe for our dogs, even when the coyotes and javelinas roamed just outside. The views from bedrooms and living room are spectacular. It’s a short walk to Sajuaro National Park (with immediate access to a dog- friendly trail. Jonas made check in and our stay a breeze. He readily answered questions so we could enjoy our stay.

Great Christmas destination

We had the best of times at Tanque Verde. Three generations of our family gathered there for an early Christmas. We especially enjoyed the location which allowed us to readily visit the National Park and Sabino Canyon. The host was very helpful from first to last.

As small business owners, it's difficult to find time to relax and unwind. We had a wonderful time floating in the pool, and resting. The beds were comfortable, the views amazing and the ability to bring the dog made the trip even better. This was a beautiful place to stay.

We had a great stay. The hiking, birds and wildlife made this house extra special. The house was well stocked with all we needed to cook or grill and had grocery stores close by. The pool, hot tub and seating areas let us enjoy the outside space. Views of the mountains were beautiful.

What a glorious spot!

The view out each window was like a postcard photo. All was well maintained and functional. Kitchen was fabulous. Furniture and beds very comfortable. The fireplace was nice in the cool evenings. The site is rather remote which is precisely what we wanted. No noise or backyard view of neighbors. Pool and hot tub were great and heated just right. To top things off, Jono was easy to contact I needed. Very, very relaxing for all.

Nearly Perfect property!

This was far and above one of the best properties we have ever stayed. I don’t think there was really anything that could have been done better for us. Location-close to stores but felt a million miles away from everything. Outdoor and indoor space impeccable. We all loved our stay.

Outstanding property, extremely responsive host

We stayed at this beautiful property for over a week and it met all of our expectations, with tons of room for everyone. The kitchen and BBQ area were well stocked, with plenty of tools to work with for meal prep. We had to reach out to the host a couple times for minor mechanical issues, and he exceeded our expectations by responding within minutes, and having the issues resolved within hours! Couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks so much!

Such a Unique Experience

Whenever we travel, I like to find that unique spot that is completely different and puts us in the culture of the community and this place was spot on! The views are spectacular. We had 6 adults stay completely comfortable - lots of space. The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the equipment needed for cooking meals "at home". Getting to a walking trail of the Saguaro National Park is only 1/2 mile away. But you are a few miles to grocery stores and restaurants. I highly recommend the Houghton Meat Market if you are planning to cook. Otherwise the Barnyard Crafthouse and Bear Canyon Pizza are not too far away!
