About this property
Historic Shankle Ranch in Tubac, AZ
The Historic Shankle Ranch, including an airstrip and hanger for their Stearman J-5 and Lockheed Sirus, was built in 1930 by Dutch & Joan Shankle, both prominent national aviators and in the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame. While the airstrip, hanger, and planes are gone, what remains is a serene, beautiful, gated historic ranch home with gorgeous views of Mt. Wrightston, hiking and birding along the Santa Cruz River, minutes from spas, golf, tennis, and the Historic Village of Tubac, AZ “Where Art & History Meet", and 2021 and 2022 winner of USA Today 10Best "Best Small Town Arts Scene".
