Crested Saguaro Ranchita

Our four acre property has a small guest studio and two dry campsites. Belmont Road is a mile long dirt road, but passable with any car or bicycle. The area is considered suburban ranch, so other homes on 3-4 acre lots are visible. 

Our land abuts Saguaro National Park West, 1/4 mile past the Belmont Trailhead. It is the only camping area on the readily accessible eastern side of Saguaro NP's west unit.

La Hacienda Chuparosa

When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. So when we married we moved to Washington DC knowing that in time we would make it west. 5 years later, when the traffic and the politics has taken its toll, we made a trip to Tucson and fell in love with this charming property that exudes all the beauty and grace of the Sonoran Desert. We looked at each other as we walked around looking at the stunning Mtn. Views and the mesquite fence and knew we were finally "home."
I've always adored the SW Hummingbirds and wanted to name the property La Hacienda Chuparosa.  When we moved in, for the first week, every morning a hummingbird was sipping nectar from one of our plants in the front yard. We knew it was meant to be. 
So we added a couple of horses to our dream, built some stalls, and now are ready to welcome you to La Hacienda Chuparosa. We know you will find the same magic here that we do.

Casa del sol

The property is located by Robles junction.  In the late 1800's it was part of one of the largest ranches in the Arizona territory.  The original ranch house is about 5 miles away just off ajo hwy.  For non Spanish speaking people.  Ajo is pronounced ah hoe.  It means garlic.  History is that mr. Robles was a mail carrier between Tucson and the town of ajo. He discovered water and dug a well.  He promptly quit the post office and opened a stage stop with his brother.  They then acquired millions of acres of land across the southern part of Arizona.  It is estimated that at one time the ranch was over 3 million acres. Which made it one of the largest ranches in the Arizona territory.  It was broken up and sold off in the early 1930's.Learn more about this land:The camp is about 20 miles west of Tucson.  Here we have so much it's hard to list it all! The property is 1/2 a mile off a paved road.  We are completely fenced.  Across the road are thousands of acres of Arizona trust land.  The trust land requires a $20 annual permit.   Tucson hosts the  largest  rock and mineral  show in  the  world  annually.  We  have  the  southern most ski resort in the country.  Lots to do  and  see here.
