Updated 3BR Retreat • Hot Tub • Quiet & Central • Near Zoo, Dining & Parks

Welcome to Hacienda del Saguaro—a beautifully updated 3 bedroom, 2 bath desert retreat in the heart of Tucson! Relax in your private hot tub, unwind in the fenced yard, stream your favorite shows on smart TVs, or cook in the fully stocked kitchen. Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood just minutes from Reid Park, the Botanical Gardens, zoo, golf, great restaurants, and shopping, this central location makes it easy to explore Tucson while enjoying total comfort and privacy. Perfect for families, couples, snowbirds, or extended stays, this home offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable getaway.

There is a small guest house on the property that is separated from the home that an elderly woman lives in. She has her own entry and does not use any of the homes yards, porches or other features. She is a wonderful lady that stays to herself.

We have one security camera near entry way on porch facing out towards street.

Attractive and convenient house

This is a nicely decorated, comfortable house in a convenient part of town. Even though the weather wasnt great on our stay we still enjoyed the back yard with the large cacti. The master bedroom is a little quirky but the master bath is great. The house is nicely stocked, it had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.
