About this property

Architectural Peace and Perfection in the Sandia Mountains

I designed and built this very special home to feel like a zen meditation when you're here. Please step in and allow it to bring you peace and tranquility during your stay. We are only minutes from Albuquerque, but it feels like a world away. The home is completely off-grid and built with a thousand sustainable elements in mind. If you're interested in sustainable building ... I would be more than happy to share the story of its design and construction with you. And if you just want to zen out ... endless peace, quiet, and spectacular views greet you at every turn and in every moment. Wonderful for retreats and gatherings of any kind. Please just be open to being mindful of the space and the resources. :) If there are less than 8 individuals in your party, contact me, and I may be able to provide you with a slightly lower custom rate.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful place! Owner is super communicative and nice. Be aware of the 1.8 mile gravel and dirt road to get there and the off-grid power.

Beautiful experience in the Mountains!

Rebekah has created something beautiful and we were thrilled to be one of the first guests. Absolutely beautiful and serene surroundings- inside and out. Comfortable and modern design, luxurious mattresses and bedding and so communicative with us prior and throughout our stay. The house is located in the National Forest just off of the paved road. Make sure you give yourself time to navigate down the mountain.
