THE HISTORIC VALLE VERDE RANCH
The Hidden Gem of Tubac
The Historic Valle Verde Ranch offers a unique blend of history and nature for travelers seeking a peaceful escape. Built in 1938, this beautifully preserved adobe ranch is surrounded by the modern-day Tubac Barrio, yet retains its old-world charm on six serene acres.
The Ranch features three individual guest units, plus the original three bedroom, adobe house, all filled with character and echoes of the past. Whether you're an artist, historian, or avid birder, the private four-acre mesquite bosque (forest) provides the perfect place to relax and soak in the tranquil surroundings. Wander through the property, and you'll find yourself at the historic Anza Trail, where you can choose your own adventure -- head North to Tubac Village and the Presidio State Park or head South to the Tumacacori National Historic Park and Mission, built in 1681, a scenic three mile hike along the Santa Cruz River.
For bird lovers, Valle Verde Ranch is recognized by the Tucson Audubon Society as a "cardinal level" premium birding habitat, making it a prime spot to observe both resident and migrating birds, along with other Arizona wildlife. It's a hidden gem for those who love a mix of history, nature, and wildlife."

GARY BRASHER of RUSS LYON SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALITY
Discuss your real estate needs for buying, selling, leasing, or just exploring the territory.
I am a 5th generation native Arizonan and have been in the real estate business for over 40 years. I began my career with Russ Lyon Real Estate in the early 1980s and then spent 25 years as the President of Brasher Real Estate in Tubac. During my time in Tubac I have been a principal and partner in developing and building over 400 homes as well as one of the managing partners of the Barrio de Tubac, a master planned development in the community. Eight years ago I rejoined Russ Lyon/Sotheby’s International Realty and am excited to be back as a part of the RLSIR team!
My wife Tracey and I are blessed to have 4 daughters and six grandchildren all living here in Southern Arizona! All 4 grandchildren are in the Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District so, in addition to work, we are constantly on the move from one event to another whether it be sports, dance, or academic activities. Tracey and I are partners in life and in our real estate business and love working with one of our daughters, Sea Anna, who serves as the administrator and sales agent in our firm.
As a local businessman I feel it is important to also serve my community through volunteer and charitable work and have served as the past President of the Tubac Chamber of Commerce and the Santa Cruz Valley Citizens Council, Co-Chair of the Real Estate Committee of the Arizona/Mexico Commission. I have been appointed by the Governor to the Groundwater Advisory Board for the Santa Cruz Active Management Area. I also serve on the Board of Directors of the Carondolet Holy Cross Hospital in Nogales and beginning in January of 2025 will be a member of the Board of Directors for the Tubac Fire District. In addition I have volunteered extensively for a variety of faith based organizations which serve Santa Cruz County and greater Arizona.
As a Realtor/ Broker and Developer for over 40 years I have learned the community in which I serve from top to bottom and would be happy to put my expertise and knowledge of the market to work on your behalf in finding that special home, ranch, farm or development property in the Santa Cruz Valley and the I-19 corridor.
Take a look at our WEBSITE below. We have many different types of homes currently on the market. If you are considering selling or leasing your home, call us for a free estimate.
