Ft. home situated on one acre in a quiet, established neighborhood where every home resides on a .98-acre lot.

Enjoy morning coffee or evening gatherings on the expansive covered back porch overlooking the natural beauty of the property. Three handcrafted Southwestern metal gates add distinctive charm, while a digital timed sprinkler system keeps the landscaping thriving with minimal effort.
The expansive lot provides endless opportunities to create your dream outdoor lifestyle, with ample room for a guest casita, swimming pool, horse corral, gardens, or additional recreational space. A large horse shoe driveway offers abundant parking for guests, RVs, trailers, and recreational vehicles, while the oversized two-car garage includes a dedicated workspace for projects, hobbies, or extra storage.
This is more than a home--it's a lifestyle. Offering no street lights the stars above shine bright on moonless nights. Peaceful desert surroundings, and unlimited potential, this rare property is ready to welcome its next owners.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBullying, smoking, fights, disrespect, lack of communication, sweeping everything under the rug, unwelcoming classrooms... I could go on and on. What happened to the Vail School District? They are no better than the Tucson school district. How has it gotten so bad? Where are the leaders in our community? I went here as a student and now I have my kids here. These schools need basic rules and have them enforced Why does this district allow so much bad behavior? Should you fire everyone and start over? It looks like a disease has taken over. I feel bad for this generation! We are not raising up good or intelligent kids anymore. This district should be ashamed of where they are today!Parent Review2mo ago - Acacia Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love Vail Academy and High School! We have had both our children here since kindergarten and they are now in 7th and 5th grades. It is very easy to communicate with teachers, staff, and administration. Having currently around 450 students total for grades k-12, it is easy to get to know each other, spend one on one time with teachers, and enjoy smaller class sizes. Vail Academy has a strong community feel with teachers that continually go above and beyond to ensure their student’s success in and out of the classroom.Parent Review4y ago - Cienega High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter had a great freshman year. She is in all AP or honors classes. They also have Engineering and Drama as electives, and she is interested in both. Her math skills really took off last year under her Algebra teacher. She is interested in her electives, or she'd have joined the Corvis Academy, which is a serious college prep cohort. It's great for her to be at a school where the focus is not on mindless athletics!Parent Review8y ago - Vail Innovation Center

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageVDLP is a high rigor online program for students wanting an alternative option for school. It is ideal for students wanting academic challenges and the opportunity to accelerate through classes. VDLP offers full-time options along with students who want to take additional classes to their normal schedule. It is challenging and rigorous yet web based to afford families freedom to travel or have alternative class schedules.Teacher Review13y ago - Andrada Polytechnic High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is so impressive!! I have a sophomore that is in both the auto pathway but is also taking the engineering class. His counselor listened to what his goals after high school are and suggested this route and I am so grateful! We went to an event at the high school called the Halloween Festival that is student run. All I can say is that I wish all the big events I go to were run by Andrada students! What a great turn out and event! The students were so polite and hard working!!Parent Review8mo ago - Mica Mountain High
