Sabino Town & Country Estates is a subdivision of 77 single family
home sites located in Pima County, Arizona. It's situated slightly
north of the boundaries of the city of Tucson and contained within the
eastern section of the Catalina Foothills School District. Located at
the SE corner of Sabino Canyon Road and Sunrise Drive, the community
is bounded by Sabino Canyon Recreation Area to the north, Webster Road
to the east, Ocotillo Drive to the south, and Sabino Canyon Road to
the west. The postal zip code is 85750.
The subdivision was created in 1977; most homes were built within a
few years by several builders; and currently only one lot remains
undeveloped. Sabino Town & Country Estates is defined as a
"planned community" under Arizona law. All lots, whether developed or
not, are required to be members of the Sabino Town & Country
Estates Association, a nonprofit Arizona corporation formed in 1977 by
Articles of Incorporation and controlled by a Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). The Association is
managed by a board of directors elected annually from within the
membership of the Association.
Sabino Town & Country Estates has two attributes setting it apart
from most Tucson communities. First, we have three parcels of common
property totaling 18 acres. The two smaller parcels follow washes
running through the subdivision. While these two parcels are densely
vegetated and difficult to access and traverse, they provide a path
for excess rain water to drain from the community, provide an
attractive refuge and thoroughfare for wildlife, and add back-to-back
separation and privacy between many of our homes. The third parcel is
a 14 acre tract of open and undeveloped desert. It serves as a buffer
between the home sites and the US Forest Service's Coronado National
Forest to the north. This tract has an easement with a dirt driveway
providing access to several homes located to the east and outside of
our subdivision, but the road is gated and secured from unauthorized
access. The common property is an attraction to wildlife and contains
a variety of native desert plants. It's our private Sonoran desert
park and has several rustic paths for use by our members and their
guests. All three parcels of our common property are protected as
"biological core" areas in the Pima County's "Agua Caliente - Sabino
Creek Zoning Plan".
The second jewel of our community is our close proximity to the Sabino
Canyon Recreation Area, a major Tucson outdoor scenic and hiking
attraction. Sabino Canyon is part of the Santa Catalina District of
the Coronado National Forest. The Santa Catalina Mountains reach an
elevation of over 9,100 feet and provide a dramatic backdrop and
scenic year round views for our subdivision. Winter visitors may drive
up the scenic Catalina Highway to encounter snow and enjoy the
southern most ski area in the US. Summer visitors can find outside
refuge and pleasant hiking conditions away from the summer
heat. Within walking distance of our subdivision, Sabino Canyon
provides access to miles of year round hiking trails, from beginning
to advanced, in the Santa Catalina Mountains from their base elevation
of almost 3,000 feet to the summits.
