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.
Vacation Rental AmenitiesCovered Above. 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.
