Tubac Custom Retreat for Bird Lovers By Nellie Bracker I am a "Native" (a rare breed around here !). My grandparents moved here from Brooklyn in 1920. I was born here. My home has spectacular views of the mountain ranges. I love it here. I bought this 10 acre property in 1992. My work is in the energy efficiency arena. I work with the utility company to implement their Energy Rebate Incentives. I enjoy my work.I am bilingual/bicultural, amidst a Mexican/American Community. My home is an expression of Mexico, reflecting the richness of both cultures. Why they chose this propertyI purchased this property for 3 reasons.Number 1: The water well. I had the water tested and it is "of the purest" water in AZ !! I never leave home without it.Secondly, the views and the desert stillness.Thirdly, my location. I am 1 mile from Tubac and 40 minutes, straight shot, to the Tucson airport. Concomitantly, the property looks, smells, feels like it is far away. My land is isolated from traffic noise and the like. What makes this property uniqueMy house is more "Custom" than custom. Handcrafted mesquite wood furniture and cabinets fill my living room, kitchen and dining table. Every room, every piece of furniture, has a story. I love my home and have enjoyed sharing it with guests. While renting I stay with my Mom in Nogales, 20 miles South of Tubac. Mom still lives in the house I was brought home from the hospital to in 1958.Thank you for your interest in my home. I look forward to sharing it with you, Nellie
