The places between the homes.
Forty-three acres of stone walls, fruit trees, firelight and open sky. The GROUNDS are where days on the LAND actually happen: a labyrinth tuned to the equinox, orchards you can pick from, decks for yoga by day and stars by night.
Hand-laid in local stone and aligned with the equinox sunsets, when light threads through the split in Pedernal and runs straight down the entrance path. One path in, one path out. Walk it slowly.
Heirloom apricots, apples, pears, peaches and plums along the lower slopes. Guests are welcome to pick what is ripe. In summer that means pies and ice cream; in winter, the bare trees turn sculptural.
A raised stone fire circle on a rise facing Pedernal. The sun goes down, the first stars come up, someone brings a guitar. Most evenings on the LAND end here.
Two open wooden platforms in a true dark-sky valley: one above SKY House, a larger one in the lower field. Lie back and watch the Milky Way rise over the mesas.
An intimate deck above SKY House for small practices, and a wide field deck for full groups, both facing the mountain. Yoga, meditation, rehearsal, a morning coffee.
A tall, open-air timber structure beside the creek, cool even in July. Long lunches, workshops and gatherings out of the sun.
A winter greenhouse for heirloom vegetables and herbs. Guests are invited to look, help or harvest, and the permaculture work starts here.
A shaded grove set aside for stillness and ceremony. Step off the path, sit down and let the place get quiet around you.
Every home on the LAND opens onto the grounds, the water and the forest beyond. Browse all six in one place.
