Tubac Real Estate
Today, Tubac is a haven for ranchers, artists, retirees and tourists. Because of the high desert vistas that surround the area, Tubac stays much cooler than Tucson or Phoenix. However, the high season for tourism here is still the winter, especially February, when Tubac hosts their annual Arts Festival. The land around Tubac is rural and sold mostly in large parcels, attracting ranchers and farmers to the area, as well as those who just want their own plot of land. As a result, there are few tract developments, and mostly custom homes and acreages in the form of huge ranches for sale. Existing developments specialize in large homesites on large lots, both in new and resale homes. Students in this area attend Sahuarita Unified School district. There is plenty to do in Tubac, especially in the winter months. There are over 90 shops in the main plaza, as well as many local restaurants and bed and breakfasts. For history buffs, there's no shortage of historical parks and museums, such as Tumacacori National Historical Park, the Titan Missile Museum, and the Presidio State Historic Park. You can also visit the Asarco Mineral Discovery Center, the Fred Whipple Observatory, Madera Canyon, the Coronado National Forest and Pena Blanca Lake.
