Authentic Adobe Retreat at the No Way Dude Ranch

A UNIQUE & AUTHENTIC TASTE OF BEAUTIFUL TUCSON! Located on 7 acres of lush desert landscape on the edge of Saguaro National Park West, this handcrafted mud adobe ranch home embodies the spirit of Tucson and the southwest. Three distinct bedrooms sleep 6 and additional guests can be accommodated in the sun room and in the living room on a comfortable queen size sleeper sofas. Beautiful southwestern art and custom touches throughout, combined with the classic thick mud adobe walls, make this ranch home a one of a kind treasure.

Please note that over the next few months we will be making some enhancements to the front courtyard and back landscaping at the house. Of course we will work hard to ensure minimal disruption to guests who chose to stay during this time and this listing will be updated if any large projects get started.

Surrounded by pristine desert landscape and gorgeous views, this is the perfect spot for a special getaway where you will feel away from it all, yet be close to great dining shopping and entertainment options. This solar-passive home was lovingly designed and built by hand with endless custom touches. Each room is a beautiful blend of materials and design, featuring large rough-hewn beams, saguaro cactus ribs, cedar shakes, barn planks, stone, marble, brick, concrete and classic mexican saltillo tile.

Sombrero Peak majestically looms within walking distance just west of the home with the Santa Catalina, Rincon and Santa Rita Mountain Ranges in view to the east. There are views in every direction and this is a fantastic spot to catch one of Tucson's picturesque sunsets. Wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee on the back patio with century-old saguaro holding court over the entire property. The front courtyard offers a bubbling water feature which can be a popular drinking spot for local wildlife.

The custom kitchen is fully equipped for cooking with enough dishes, glasses and silverware to easily accommodate twelve in the grand dining room featuring a large custom table and chairs and a classic southwest fireplace. The great room features a large sofa and love seat, 55" smart TV, the ranch library, games and puzzles. The Sunroom is a perfect spot for reading and quiet contemplation.

Shopping, dining, entertainment and services are within 5 minutes of the ranch and upscale shopping and dining in the Catalina Foothills are just 10 to 15 minutes away. Easy freeway access puts downtown Tucson and the University of Arizona within 15 to 20 minutes from the ranch. Cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts will love the hiking trails and the proximity to the Tucson Loop (a 130 mile network of shared-use paths and paved trails dedicated to cyclist, pedestrian, and equestrian use).

Spring break ‘23
What a wonderful gem this home is! So much care and attention have gone into the furnishings and decorations. It’s an ideal location, just far enough away from the hub bub of the city but easy driving to just about anything you want to do. Gary & Deborah were kind, helpful and attentive to us during our visit. We’re already planning our return trip for next spring!

Desert Paradise
We have stayed in many vacation homes around the country, and this is probably the nicest we’ve ever seen. It was the perfect southwestern home in the perfect desert setting. Everything about the place was high end and top notch. The home was magnificently furnished and the kitchen was well stocked. It was so peaceful and wonderful to just sit on the back patio and take in the views and the tranquility that we rarely left the house to go explore Tucson!

Beautiful Property and Convenient Location
Great location for exploring Tucson. There is a feeling of total privacy at the property, but you can also quickly get to grocery stores and restaurants. Once we checked in, we immediately vowed to eat all of our breakfasts and dinners at the house. It is so beautiful, we wanted to soak it all in. The owners have a love for the home and it is evident in how it is cared for and decorated. Gary and Deborah have thoughtfully considered the amenities available to guests. It all makes for such a lovely stay!

Adobe Thanksgiving
What a beautiful home! We enjoyed the bonfires, stars at night, sunsets, a few quiet morning rains, long hikes, and a memorable Thanksgiving. The dining room hosted our large family in authentic adobe style. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend! Thank you for sharing your home.

Lovely peaceful spot!
Our home was clean, spacious, and close to saguaro national park while still being far enough away from neighbors to be very private. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
