About the host
Hosted by Bonnie & Joe Wakeman, Carrie Propst
Joe and Bonnie are Artists from Minnesota who moved to the Mountains of Colorado over 40 years ago. After retiring from 35+ years of Decorative Painting and Art Careers they moved to The Baca & Crestone area. "We Love the peace and quiet, the intriguing aspect of the Spiritual Centers, and the variety of skilled Artists who reside here. We were drawn to this unique landscape of Colorado Mountains, the vast Valley, and the designated Dark Sky location for Spectacular Starry Nights! The quaint Village of Crestone, nearby Hot Springs destinations, and the Amazing Great Sand Dunes National Park, also makes this area an ongoing adventure!"
Why they chose this property
We Love our Casa neighborhood and the wonderful people who choose to live here. We look out for each other, we Love the Quiet, and have great Respect for each other.
What makes this property unique
We fell in Love with this Property for the unique home, the Blessings that were bestowed upon the Stone Circles, and the TeePee Poles before the canvas. We especially love that a portion of our Casa is in the earth, emerging out towards the landscape. The trees protect it often from big valley winds and the birds love it here, as well!
