Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
The Hacienda was designed and built by my husband Roger Hartley an architectural engineer. He was inspired by the secret walls he would pass by on the streets of Italy. Upon entering the gate you would be transported into another world, with fountains flowing, colorful gardens and birds of all kinds comeing to nest in the red clay tiles.He planted 180 lavender plants that line the back of two acres and in July when it blooms we are truly in paradise.In the begining when it was just a field of mud and a frame for the casita I came along and said "I do walls" plaster and color that is and a romance was born. I started with just cuttings from a previous home and the garden started breathing, and dying ,deciding what the clay earth would protect and what would drown in the gooiness of winter. So over a four year period we inspired one another with our love for color, texture and form. We lived in the casita from the moment the walls were plastered. No toilet, no shower, no kitchen, but wow,was it fun. The RV is gone now and more walls to come and even a pool. It is a never ending creative process and we love sharing it with our friends, who love getting away from it all.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
We are told by people who walk through the gate that they feel like they are in the south of france ,Italy or Mexico. Our neighbors said it looks like an Italian villa. THe casita has It"s own outdoor eating area and two patios to sit in. The light at the end of the day is filled with a golden color that you try to absorb every moment with your eyes or a camera. Every year we plant giant sunflowers that create a livley happy wall around us. If you miss your pets we have a few of them also. They will sleep with you if you let them (cats) Moma Lisa and Micheal Angelo or you can play ball with Poochini. We have a large lawn for badmitten and frizbee. If cooking is your thing we have an organic garden with fresh herbs and vegetables.
