Stargazers' Sabbatical
Sadly necessary preface: All available dates are on the calendar. All bookings must be completed through the Vrbo website. There will never be any exceptions. Messages reflecting ignorance of this paragraph will be ignored.
Phew. Okay, now the fun stuff.
Our little house was one of hundreds built by the Phelps-Dodge mining company to house the workers at its New Cornelia copper mine between 1916 and 1985. We recently completed the first phase of a long term renovation plan and it's ready for people to enjoy.
This former mining town turned artist colony is emerging as a base camp for outdoor adventurers, astrophotographers, and everyone else who wants to revel in the remote beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
The town's burgeoning scene includes live music and dance shows, literature and art presentations, open air markets, and a growing range of artisanal culinary offerings, all with a Sonoran Desert twist that is unique to Ajo.
Phoenix and its metropolitan amenities are two hours away by car, and the laid back culturepalooza of beautiful Tucson is only a 2.5 hour drive along scenic AZ 86.
If you're feeling the need to get your beach on, bring your passport and pop down to the former fishing village and current resort town of Puerto Peñasco, a two hour jaunt across the Mexican border to the Gulf of California (don't forget to buy Mexican car insurance in Ajo before you go).
As beautiful as the desert is, Ajo's greatest natural attraction is its dark night sky. More than a hundred miles from the nearest major city, the absence of light pollution allows Ajo visitors to see the night skies of their ancestors. The backyard of the house is on the lowest fringe of Bortle 4. Bortle 3 is a five minute walk, and Bortle 2 is a five minute drive. (You'll need camping gear and a 4WD vehicle to enjoy Bortle 1.)
The property is slowly being optimized for amateur astronomy, because its owner hopes to spend his winter nights that way upon retirement. In the meantime, you can enjoy its already ample charms.

Por qué escogió este alojamiento
I discovered Ajo in while living in Tucson in 1995 on a day trip born out of restless boredom. After trekking through the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation, after driving past Kitt Peak National Observatory, I arrived in a carefully planned town designed originally in Spanish revival style.
It was beautiful, or, rather, had been. Nobody was taking care of anything. Broken windows and yards gone to seed at every third house. A majestic high school with an equally majestic view of the boulevard leading to the town plaza had begun to crumble. Layers of reddish brown dust seemed to hang in the air and settle on everything. It looked like a place that was dying, if not already dead.
Completely missing the one-mile wide hole in the ground, and unmindful of Arizona’s significance in the mining industry, I couldn’t imagine why someone would build a town like this in such a remote corner of the Sonoran Desert, then let it fall apart. But I could see, even then, that it had what real estate flippers call “good bones.” I never forgot the place and, in the years that followed, would periodically Google it.
It turns out that the mine I failed to notice in 1995 had closed in 1985. The International Sonoran Desert Alliance (ISDA), founded in 1993, took on the daunting mission of rebuilding Ajo’s civic identity in the wake of the mine’s closure. The non-profit organization is the closest thing to a local government in Ajo, which relies on Pima County for most governmental functions.
Under its stewardship, Ajo has evolved into an artist colony and a basecamp for the thousands of outdoor recreation enthusiasts who want to explore the surrounding Sonoran Desert, including Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, the Cabeza Prieta Wildlife Refuge, and the legendary Camino del Diablo.
I bought this house in 2021 with the intent to make it my winter home. After a lot of TLC, it's finally ready for guests.
