Welcome to Our Earth-Building Artists' Retreat! Imagine a creative escape that's just a stone's throw away from the stunning landscapes of Arizona's wild desert. Our homestead is nestled right next to hundreds of acres of breathtaking BLM land. Here, awe-inspiring hills tell tales of ancient coral reefs full of desert wildlife and amazing night sky. History buffs rejoice, you're smack dab in the middle of the legendary mining towns of Tombstone, Bisbee, and Sierra Vista! Explore as you wish—be it the homestead's vibrant heart or the quirky charm of nearby towns. Our magical retreat offers cozy camping spots with amenities like a shower house featuring on-demand hot water—perfect after a day of adventuring. You'll also have access to our community space decked out with Wi-Fi and a composting commode. Need extra comforts? We also offer firewood and water-fill ups for a small extra fee! A Few Considerations Before Booking: Getting Here: Your journey begins with a scenic drive, we live 5-10 minutes down a dirt road. It’s been freshly graded, so standard cars like a trusty Civic or Prius will do just fine. That said, this route isn’t ideal for very low-clearance vehicles, those uneasy about dirt roads, or trailers/RVs over 20 ft. Off-Grid Adventure: Since we're living that sustainable off-grid dream, we work with what we call a composting "outhouse" rather than a traditional septic system. If this rustic charm doesn’t sit well with you, we might not be the ideal fit. Pet & Wildlife Lovers: We embrace friendly furry companions! Just bear in mind, the desert is home to critters galore—everything from coyotes to bobcats. Keep a watchful eye on your pets and please make sure you clean up after your pets. Adult-Only Zone: We cater to an 18+ crowd—so it's a peaceful haven sans kids. Eco-Friendly Practices: We encourage bringing biodegradable soaps to protect our trees and vegetation, we do provide biodegradable soaps if needed. Workshops Galore: Eager to learn something new? Snag a spot in one of our private classes with topics spanning from wild plant walks to pottery classes, and a homestead tour. Message us to see what's on offer during your visit! Pottery classes need to be booked at least a week in advance so we can prepare clay.

Desert utopia in the making.

Richard has such an incredible property and is such a wonderful person. We thoroughly relished our time at his place. We loved seeing what he is creating out in the desert. He’s so passionate about turning his land into an environmental center where visitors can see the possibilities for a more appropriate future in practice. Richard is so sweet and intelligent, we loved getting to know him, and seeing what he had in mind for the future of his land. Keep in mind, it is very primitive out there, but he has all the necessities set up and provides a camping experience unlike any other. A highlight of our recent road trip!

Beautiful views, quiet nights

Richard was a great host, very helpful and informative. We loved tent camping on his land. The views are incredible- sunrise, sunsets, the stars! Beautiful.

Van/Car Camping Site

I truck camped on this property the day before a class on homesteading. What a fascinating destination. Though it was hot, I was able to find shade and thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Richard. This site easily accommodated my voluminous girth with ease and aplomb. Fabulous views to be had from the plumbing facilities...be sure to bring binoculars! Thanks Richard!

Last night in the AZ wilderness

Beautiful quiet spot, great long distance views. Short trip to Tombstone or Bisbee. Comfortable bed. Responsive friendly hosts. There are other larger lodging options on the same property. Directions are clear but I’m not sure I’d want to drive in in the dark the first time. But it’s fine after you’ve been there.
