Our home

Our home is a newer adobe ranch style house with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a loft. It is a gorgeous home with large windows, saltillo tile floors in the living room and kitchen, and wood plank ceilings. The house sits on 10 acres that back up to another 10 acres and then state land beyond that. It is a 14 minute walk into town.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

We love the silence and the starry skies. When there isn't a bright moon, you can see the Milky Way. Our town is small and charming with lots of music and art events. People are friendly and will wave to you even if they don't know you. The businesses in town are all small privately owned.

We have quite the menagerie. We have three horses, two dogs, four cats - two indoor and two outdoor, one turkey, six chickens, and a ball python. It takes about one hour a day to do the daily feeding. It takes about 15 minutes to shovel horse poop, and once a week we clean the chicken coop.

Our garden

local_floristGarden or plant care

Minimal - We have a kitchen garden with herbs and flowers which is on a drip system. Once the monsoon rains come, it will need to be occasionally weeded. We also have 7 young trees that we would like you to pay attention to. They are also on a drip system, but they may need more or less water.
