About This Home
As of January 20241957 homestead cabin converted into a magical retreat. Single bedroom, inviting bath, large kitchen and a cozy living room with intimate desert views out of every window. Designed in the simplest of terms to provide comfort in this peaceful surrounding. Panoramic views of the desert are amplified from every vantage point, enabling a sense of solitude, the home as your center, you begin to experience the true meaning of life in the desert. With energy conservation at its core, this cabin will allow you to focus on what is real about your life, what matters most and how you achieve those goals. A new power system that relies on an infinite source and yet designed for very little consumption. Using the sun to bring daylight into the darkness, coolness for your food and energy as you may care to use it. Warm water when you need it, never stored, never wasted, provided to the indoor soaking tub or the fresh outdoor shower. Relax with an efficient airtight woodstove or gaze at the stars around the outdoor Franklin fireplace. Camp in the teardrop trailer, enjoy a campfire or simply wander in this natural retreat. Something like a writers paradise, energized in its purity, put some tea on the burner, relax and feel the desert as it was meant to be: a sanctuary without fences and a comfortable place to call your own. With teardrop trailer, shipping container, patio furniture and outdoor Franklin fireplace.
