Casita for lease is gateway into the Saguaro National Park






Historic Ranch Casita available.

Usually Rattlesnake Ranch Casitas don't get advertised.
Word gets passed on from friend to friend.

If you're ready for something totally different in your life, this cottage may be worth looking at.

Rattlesnake Ranch sits on a 15 acre parcel with 6 spaced apart casitas, or small houses, on it. It's not a ranch with horses or farm animals on it.

Desert environment. Ironwood trees, saguaros, prickly pear cacti, barrel cacti, blue palo verde trees. Frequent sightings of deer, bobcats, ringtails, gambel's quail, cottontail rabbits, jackrabbits, cactus wrens, curvebill thrashers, gila woodpeckers, flickers, flycatchers, pygmy owls, great horned owls, ravens, coyotes, and javelinas. Great setting for watching the animals or hiking into areas of the Saguaro National Monument that very few people frequent.

Two bedroom, one full bath casita on 15 acre historic ranch. A true desert retreat and a perfect artist, writer’s, naturalist's studio and live space. Enclosed porch. Pool and hot tub on site. Enjoy patio views of the Catalinas to the east and the Tucson Mountains to the west. A dome of stars passes overhead every night in the darkened sky.

Casita dwellers enjoy lots of privacy, but with a sense of a unique progressive community that resides on this historic ranch. Gas stove. Evaporative cooling. Neatly maintained.

Ancient petroglyphs nearby.

Fifteen minute drive on IH-10 to downtown.
Supermarkets and services within 5 minutes of the ranch.

Rattlesnake Ranch is on Ina Road, 2.5 miles west of IH-10 in the real sonoran desert, at the base of the Tucson Mountains and Safford peak.
