Forty Niner Country Club Homes For Sale — Tucson, AZ
Experience an Established Golf-Course Lifestyle in Northeast Tucson
Enjoy a quiet ranch-style vibe in one of Northeast Tucson's most storied country club communities. Situated just minutes from The Loop and the gateway to Redington Pass, this neighborhood blends desert tranquility with active recreation — chosen for its larger lots, mature vegetation, and a top-tier school district.

At the Heart of the Tanque Verde Valley
This community is a premier destination for a relaxed golf-course lifestyle without the high-pressure feel of newer developments — a favorite for families and retirees who appreciate wide-open spaces and an established community feel. The architectural landscape is dominated by classic ranch-style homes, many thoughtfully remodeled with modern finishes while preserving their original character, and an incredibly low annual HOA fee keeps this a deed-restricted community without heavy assessments.
The standout feature is the Forty Niner Country Club itself — a semi-private club with an 18-hole desert golf course, pro shop, fitness center, and a popular restaurant and bar. Residents sit in the heart of the Tanque Verde Valley, with easy access to horseback riding, cycling on The Loop, and the Rincon Mountains.

Forty Niner Questions, Answered
Is there an HOA in Forty Niner Country Club?
Yes — the community is served by the Forty Niner Estates Association. You can access the official HOA website for current bylaws and community updates.
How much are the HOA dues?
Approximately $65 per year (as of March 2026), which is very low compared to many Tucson HOA communities.
What is the zip code for Forty Niner Country Club?
The neighborhood is located in the 85749 zip code in Northeast Tucson.
Are rentals allowed?
Forty Niner appears to allow rentals — the governing documents do not contain strict rental caps or leasing prohibitions. However, tenants must still comply with all HOA rules and deed restrictions, and the owner remains responsible for any violations. Because the CC&Rs were originally recorded in the 1960s, buyers interested in short-term rentals should verify current HOA interpretation before purchasing.
Do you have to join the country club if you live here?
No. Country club membership is separate from the HOA and optional.
Do you need HOA approval for home improvements?
Yes for most exterior structural changes, including: additions, garages, guest houses, pools, walls, and other large structures.
Are sheds or accessory buildings allowed?
Yes in many cases, but they typically require architectural review approval before construction.
Is Forty Niner Country Club Estates in a flood zone?
Some homes — particularly those closer to Tanque Verde Creek — may fall within FEMA flood zones. Many interior lots are outside the floodplain, but buyers should always verify the flood map for the specific property. Do homes here require flood insurance? Only homes within certain FEMA flood zones typically require it for financed purchases; homes outside the mapped zone may carry it voluntarily.
HOA & Governing Documents
Forty Niner Country Club Estates operates under recorded deed restrictions and HOA governing documents that guide architectural changes, community standards, and association operations. Official association site: 49ershoa.com.
HOA Overview & Dues
Dues are approximately $65 per year, typically billed annually, and used for items such as HOA liability insurance, the community website and communication, neighborhood events, security / community coordination, and limited neighborhood maintenance. Compared to many Tucson HOA communities, this is a very low annual fee.
The Country Club vs the HOA
One common point of confusion: the Forty Niner Country Club is separate from the HOA. Living in the neighborhood does not automatically include golf membership. The club offers an 18-hole golf course, pro shop, restaurant and bar, pool, fitness facilities, and event spaces — memberships may be available separately.
Property Appearance Standards
Homeowners maintain their properties so as not to negatively impact neighbors — e.g., screening storage areas from view, maintaining the appearance of homes facing the golf course, and keeping exterior areas orderly. Because many homes back up to the course, rear-yard appearance is visible to neighbors and golfers.
Architectural Review Requirements
The HOA has an Architectural Review Committee (ARC) overseeing exterior changes. Approval is required for room additions, guest houses/casitas, garages/workshops, carports, ramadas/patio structures, pools/spas, driveways, walls/fencing, storage buildings, and sheds. Plans must be submitted before construction. Simple projects (driveways, pool equipment, sheds) are generally board-reviewed with no fee. Complex projects (additions, ADUs, garages, structural expansions) carry typical review fees of about $300 (first review), $150 (second), $75 (additional). The committee generally responds within 15 days.
HOA Governance
Run by a Board of Directors elected by members, with an Architectural Review Committee and volunteer resident involvement. Board meetings are typically the second Monday of the month around 6:00 PM, often in the Rincon Room at the Forty Niner Country Club. Annual membership meetings are generally held once per year (commonly January).
CC&Rs (Deed Restrictions)
Governed by deed restrictions originally recorded in 1961 and later extended, regulating property use, building placement, structure approval, neighborhood appearance, and nuisance activities. The HOA assists with enforcement.
Enforcement Process
If a potential CC&Rs violation occurs: (1) the issue is reviewed by the HOA committee; (2) the homeowner may be contacted informally; (3) if necessary, formal notice is issued; (4) continued violations may lead to further enforcement. The goal is typically voluntary compliance before formal enforcement.
