Hacienda
Linda has an unforgettable setting,
nestled next to Saguaro National Park
West and the surrounding mountains. On 6 acres of saguaro cactus
studded land, it is a short drive from the world-renowned Arizona
Sonoran Desert Museum, Old Tucson Studios and 30 minutes from downtown
Tucson. There are numerous nationally acclaimed hiking trails nearby;
some are within walking distance.
Drawn
to the watering hole next to the Park, the wildlife is constant and
always surprising. You will see many varieties of birds and might
catch glimpses of bobcats, coyotes, javalina, deer, foxes and rabbits.
It
is an artist's retreat, where world famous photographers, painters and
writers have enjoyed a stay. Many who have visited never want to leave
because of its special beauty and tranquility.
The
home is open and airy. Guests particularly enjoy the Great Room and
the extra large patio both of which overlook the courtyard with the
beautiful fountain surrounded by subtropical and native vegetation.
Views of sunsets and Kitt Peak are incredible.
The
2,500 square foot interior can be described as Metropolitan Rustic.
The colors and architectural elements are warm and exciting!
The Pecky Cedar and wood-beamed ceiling
go throughout the home as well as the patio. The interior is an open
floor plan, each room opening up to the next, with central air
conditioning/heat throughout.

kitchen with its copper tin ceiling, stainless steel appliances
and barista for coffees, cappuccinos and a window facing the
