Serenity in Sunny Arizona with tons of birds and shade trees! Bike Trail Galore

. This is an area that has good small wineries, golf courses, hiking, biking and birdwatching. The wineries are from a similar ground as that of southern France. You can go to the wineries or the large gourmet market in Tubac. Do you want warm, sunny weather? The weather now is delightful for outdoor activities almost every day of the year. Enjoy this 1400 SF home on over .6 acre with lots of privacy! Furnished home with good Sealy Queen Size Mattress and new bedroom furniture and Ashley living room furniture in Master. Other bedroom has a high quality Queen mattress too. For $30, you can get a twin bed for the office for your entire stay.It comes with blankets, sheets and pillow. This gives privacy for that person. This has a TV so you can watch TV. Kitchen has cookware, dishes, coffee maker and blender/food processor. Home has 2 bedrooms and 1 office/bedroom, 2 full bathrooms and outside patio with bird feeder and bird bath. There are 2 full bathrooms and ceilings are cathedral. There are 2 HD TV's--one in living room and one in the office and hooked up to satellite. TV. As of 8/26/18 there is a new internet booster receiver. The system is perfect for getting and receiving emails with pictures or small videos, podcasts from professional organizations, banking. Two people can use it at same time but not three or five simultaneously. It is good for findings on Google. It is not a system that is sufficient for commercial work such as formatting magazines or huge payrolls documents.

There is a dishwasher, range, microwave/grill, refrigerator, garage door opener, washer and dryer. The yard is fenced. It has four chairs and a table and the seating pads are new. The newly covered patio is new and blocks out direct sunlight in the heat of the day. There is a simple blue chair for another person if needed. It is a non-smoking unit and if someone wants to bring their dog, it must be over 2 years old and fixed and approved by the owner. Of course, you must pick up the poop and not have a dog who diggs.

There is the Tumacacori National Park and Historic Presideo State Park nearby. Birds and wildlife are abundant. In January through May and mid-September through December the weather is delightful for golfing & hiking! In March, there is an annual bicycle event on the rural street where the house is located. The mountain views are outstanding and Madera Canyon is less that 1/2 hour away. There is excellent dining in the area and the famous arts and crafts of Tubac. Fitness gym, beauty salon and nail salons are close by and they are wonderful! This is a great art haven with lots of artists! The local fitness center has a heated pool year around and that it nearly impossible to find anywhere else. If you are a biker, bring your wheels and helmet and enjoy the surroundings daily. Helmets are required here. Other bikers will share their favorite trails.

Fine dining can be found in the Esplendor Resort (Rio Rico Golf Resort) or the Tubac Golf Resort. Tubac Golf Resort has two fine restaurants in a western setting. Wisdoms offers a fine meal just south of Tubac and it is very fun. The bartender makes a wonderful margarita! The Tubac Inn offers wonderful pork dishes and there is almost always action there. Cowboys sometimes come on horses and stop to wet their thirsts. In Rio Rico where the Garrett's super market is located, there is Nick's Diner and an Italian restaurant that are both wonderful. There are over 10 golf courses nearby! Locally and Sycamore and Madera Canyons offer great birds and wildlife as well as the Santa Cruz River and the Anza Trail nearby (at Palo Parado) . Come and enjoy..

The vineyards are some of the best in the US and similar to southern France. Arizona. Vineyards is a popular roadside attraction in Nogales on the way to Mexico. Located less than one hour from the resort, the wines are unique and have classic Southwestern names such as Rattlesnake Red, Desert Dust and Coyote Red.

Callaghan Vineyards
About an hour south of Tucson, the Callaghan Vineyards have been producing award-winning wines for over fifteen years. Owner Kent Callaghan aptly named his 17-acre vineyard “Buena Suerte” (or “Good Luck” in Spanish) and has won many kudos for his fine wines, including the highly-praised 1996 Fumé Blanc. The winery is open
Callaghan Vineyards


Sonoita Vineyards
Another winery near Mr. Callaghan’s establishment is the Sonoita Vineyards. Co-owner Dr. Gordon Dutt was a soil scientist at the University of Arizona when he and A. Blake Brophy established their first experimental vineyard in 1973. They found that the high altitude (5,000 feet) soil is nearly identical to the soils of Burgundy, France. The 20-acre vineyard now produces over 10,000 gallons per year. Their 1986 Cabernet Sauvignon had the distinction of being served at the White House.

Keywords: Golf, Birdwatching, Cycling, Hiking, 3 bedroom, fenced yard, dog welcome, HBO & Showtime. If you are a Silver Sneaker's member, there are 3 different nearby locations that you can visit. One has a year around heated pool. The Anza Trail can be traveled nearby and this is an old Spanish trail north.
The wild life is delightful. There were over 95 birds identified by birders who came in April 2014. There is a complete list in my traveler's book.
Don't forget to visit the Tubac chamber on NE side of Tubac as it has extra things that come up weekly.
Bring you hiking shoes and your sense of adventure and go on the de Anza trail commencing on Palo Parado Trail recently improved by the state. Venture west off the trail just a little and see the Santa Cruz River miandering along side the train where Juan Baptista and Fr Keno stopped to rest and let their horses drink the water and refresh. themselves. It is very relaxing and great for seeing birds and taking pictures.
At the end of April, the park is going to lead people through a four miles hike along the de Anza Trail and provide a bus for those who don't want to hike both ways. It's pretty level and you will get the feel of how it would be for Juan Baptista (Spanish explorer) and Fr Keno using this trail years ago. Bring your camera and good closed toed shoes.
Just a Note: We have a Tubac Fire Dept Ambulance with IEMTs, portable EKGs and a Medical Air Vac Helicopter two miles away. When I called them their ambulance came out and they were warming up the copter just in case I had to be air lifted. That's superior service and they connect you by 911.
I have a medical alert system and it went off while I was working and they came out to see if I was OK.
Holy Cross in Nogales is the best equipped hospital nearby, but Santa Cruz Regional is just getting more advanced things. Doctors are always available at Holy Cross and St Mary's in Tucson along with six other fine hospitals. Holy Cross reads X-rays and other scans by emailing it to a specialist and get immediate feedback from a radiologist.
We also have dialysis center here too.
