We are retired snowbirds, living in Elko, NV in the summer and Green Valley, AZ in the winter. We love gardening, living in the midst of different cultures, adventuring, spending time with family and friends. We are busier now in retirement than ever before...and loving it!

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Ours is a modest, two-bedroom townhouse with southwest decor. The patio looks toward the Santa Rita Mountains (25 minutes away), well-known for birding and hiking trails. Closer to home, one can walk (or bike) through the safe and quiet streets or desert arroyos to view roadrunners, cardinals, or even javelinas. The house is a member of Green Valley Recreation Association with access to many pools, artistry workshops, fitness centers, tennis courts, hobby and card groups, and classes. Our place is next door to the swimming pool. Golf courses are nearby.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Continental Vistas is a charming, older Green Valley neighborhood of mostly retired people, 55 or older, who come here to enjoy the inviting climate of the southwest. The residents are interesting, active, friendly people who participate in many of the social, cultural, and outdoor activities available to them as members of the Green Valley Recreation Association. Many people walk or bike the neighborhood. Friends and neighbors often relax over a glass of wine on back patios watching the sun set over the mountains. An outdoor mall with a grocery store, restaurant, pharmacy and shops is within a mile.Tucson, with its many cultural events, is 30 minutes away.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Green Valley is near two areas that have so much to offer. 1) Just 45 minutes to the north is Tucson, where one can appreciate city life's benefits: opera, symphony, theatre; science technology lectures and workshops; museums of art, history, desert ecology, space; botanical gardens, parks; fine restaurants. Tucson Airport is just 30 minutes away. 2) There are many places to enjoy to the south of Green Valley: Hiking and birding in Madera Canyon, Pena Blanca Lake, Patagonia Lake, San Pedro River Valley, and the Buenos Aires Wildlife Refuge. The history of migrating cultures is evident when visiting Canoa Ranch, Tubac, Tumacacori, Nogales, Amerind Museum and Tohono O'Odham Cultural Center. The Old West of mining and cowboy days is evident in Tombstone and Bisbee. Two observatories are nearby: Whipple is 30 minutes away and Kitt Peak National Observatory is 1 and 1/2 hours away. There is a lot to explore near Green Valley!
