The Grounds

The 1.4 acre property during daylight features a diverse landscape varied with grasslands, rock formations, nearby desert creeks, and mountainous valleys, while during the evening, the dark sky community allows us to stargaze into the wee hours of the night.

The communal spaces on the property are all exterior with no separation between residences. You are encouraged to lie in the grass, eat dinner outside, slip into the rhythms of the land and feel free to say hello and let us know how social / solitary you might want your time to be.
