Vacation Rental Description

     This is a quaint property, built on an old Spanish Land Grant. 
Part of a once-upon-a-time ranch built on a high desert. 
It is quite close to Tucson--yet quite secluded.  
    The owner built the pueblo himself using the materials brought to the new world by the Spanish 
Conquistadores:  Stucco, adobe, tile, cement, plaster and the hand 
wrought support posts carved by the Indians of Patzcuaro.  
     The White Dove of the Desert, the old San Xavier Mission 
settlement founded by Father Kino when the Spanish first came to the 
Southwest, is nearby on the reservation, only minutes away from the 
Hacienda.  
     Having spent much of his younger life in Mexico, the owner 
patterned his construction on the Spanish plan of having the living spaces separate with  access 
for each living space private exterior garden.  
     
     The bathroom is decorated with the hand-painted Talavera tile 
from Mexico, and the floors all have the fabulous Saltillo tile from 
the Mexican state of the same name.  
     Hand-carved support posts from Patzcuaro adorn various parts of the hacienda and there is one Tarahumara 
post in the kitchen from the 
Sierra Madre region of Mexico, carved by the Tarahumara Indians.  
     
     The rooms are furnished and decorated with antique Mexican art 
and hand-made furniture, with a smattering of colonial pottery 
pieces.  The paintings on the wall are original oil and watercolor.
     The property is literally a "Pueblo" of buildings which include 
work shops, storage buildings, and parking ramadas. 
      Part of the original ten acres was purchased by an eclectic 
couple from Rhode Island who converted the original hacienda into a 
very lovely Bed & Breakfast (La Gatita B&B) which is currently 
frequented by Birders from all over the country.  
     La Hacienda Quintita is located in an area which is sparsely 
populated and is designated "horse property", an area which allows 
the locals to stable their own horses and to ride them in the 
surrounding desert.  As one might guess, we are animal friendly.
Which means that if you have a pet dog or two, you are still welcome. 
And should an untoward accident happen with the rugs or furniture, we 
know that animal lovers are responsible people who will make it right.
     There is abundant wildlife hereabouts, with deer frequently 
grazing our land, javalina roam freely but usually only at night, and 
coyotes can be expected to howl and yap on cold Winter nights.  It 
truly is a serene and tranquil place.

Activities and Attractions

      The Desert Museum is a must, just 25 minutes fromthe hacienda.  
Also, the caverns in Benson, Az, (one Hour) is a once in a lifetime 
experience.  The wild-west town of Tombstone and the artist colony of 
Bisbee is on the same route as the caverns---just 40 minutes down the 
road. 
    Shopping in Tucson is only 14 minutes away, and the retirement 
community of Green Valley with seven golf courses, a multiplex 
theater and shopping is only 18 minutes away to the South.
     The border town of Nogales, the entrance to Mexico, is a thirty 
minute drive further South from Green Valley.
      The white dove of the desert is a scant ten minutes down the 
road.
