Have you ever been to Sonoita? Then you know the amazingly clean, clear air, the pure water, the peacefulness and the vibrant, diverse community. The 5000¿ elevation of this sweeping valley makes for a mild, 4-season climate, with cooler summers than famous Tucson or Phoenix, and moderate winters with just a taste of snow.
The wine-and-ranch Sonoita Valley is predominantly rolling, grassy prairie scored here and there with washes created by drainage in the heavy rains. Near the mountains that border the valley, where the land sweeps up in elevation, native (highly sought-after) oak trees grow. A typical home here is built on at least 2 acres and the vast majority are on nearly 5 acres ¿ and that acreage is almost always open prairie.
These factors make this home a special rarity and a great find! It is on less than ½ acre for minimal yard maintenance, and tucked into a hillside among beautiful mature oaks for shade, privacy, and wonderful birding. The area where the house is located is all similar-sized homes accessed by lovely, winding dirt roads; the homes are dotted about on more than 200 acres of land that is studded with oak trees. The land that is not in use for individual homes is commonly owned open space ¿ all gently rolling oak savannah, a haven for wonderful birds and other wildlife.
This cozy two-suite home is a haven for the spirit. It is sited for maximum privacy, and its rustic interior, with bleached Saltillo tile and slump adobe outside walls, creates a wonderful backdrop for any decorating style. The skylights and clerestory windows bring subtle daylight inside, the sliding doors to the patio embrace the magnificent view, and the fireplaces in the great room and master suite are focal points for decorating or relaxing.
The master suite is wonderful and luxurious, with a beehive fireplace and slump adobe wall with beautiful inset windows. Sliding doors provide access to a private, sheltered end of the patio. The triangular spa tub overlooks the branches of the oak trees that grow lower on the hillside, and is opposite a tiled wraparound shower.
The second suite offers a view of the small, walled garden and has its own private ¾ bath.
The hallway between the bedrooms offers a dry bar with a skylight for daytime ambience. The kitchen offers upgraded appliances and an efficient layout, with a half-bath on the hallway out to the two-car garage. The dining area overlooks the walled garden, and the entire great room area is wired for surround sound.

This home is a prize: out in the country, yet close to services, with low-maintenance construction, it is perfect for full- or part-time living. Call today before it¿s too late!
