About the host

Hosted by Mary B. Watkins

Host profile image
Diana and Gabriel Wisdom had this house built on this large parcel across from the Borrego Valley Airport in Borrego Springs. The house was completed in 2015 and is now for rent.

Why they chose this property

The Borrego Airport Pilot House is on 55+ acres which were homesteaded more than 100 years ago by the area's most famous pioneer, Alfred Armstrong "Doc" Beaty (1870-1949).

Directly across from the airport office and restaurant,"Pilot House Road" leads to a large octagon-shaped building nestled in the old grove of Tamarisk trees.

Designed to be a vacation rental retreat for visiting pilots and adventurers, owners Diana and Gabriel Wisdom have also decided to make the Pilot House available for fundraisers, flying clubs, air shows, and other special events.

The house has three full ensuite bedrooms each with it's own bathroom and another optional bedroom without it's own bathroom, and includes all the modern ecologically sound luxuries like solar power. The bedrooms extend from each of the four sides of the octagon. From the air, it looks a little like the front of a four propeller bladed airplane.

The oldest octagonal building in the world is the Tower of Winds built in ancient Greece in 300 B.C.

The newest octagon is now available to enjoy at Borrego Valley Airport.

What makes this property unique

The middle of the house is a huge great room with kitchen, dining room and living room. The bedrooms are all off the great room and equally separated from each other.
