"Long Shadows", 360' views of Mesas, Mountains, Canyons and the creek. | House in Cave Creek
3 Bedroom House in Maricopa County, Cave Creek
Welcome to pure AZ relaxation in the High Sonoran Desert.
Long Shadows, "Sombras Largas," straddles the intersection of Wilderness and Urbanity. It is an elegant, organic, passive solar dwelling built of 18- inch-deep adobe block walls, rough-sawn wood, vaulted beamed & shiplapped ceiling, hand-made Mexican tile floors and rooms finished with Venetian Style Plaster walls.
Pella windows and doors frame the startling vastness of the Tonto National
Forest. Literally, walkout your door into blue-sky views of the Tonto's Skull &New River Mesas, BLM lands and the 2200- acre Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area. Wade in Cave Creek's waters & precious riparian area, explore Indian ruins, petroglyphs and trails on foot or bike.
Guests visit to hear the sing/song of dove and quail, to watch cloud-shadows float over the rugged landscape. Inspired, people have left poems and guest-book entries about their experiences here-hikes, rainstorms and their personal interactions with 'Nature.'
This is a High Sonoran Desert place, a place like no other, to breathe, walk, rest, read, watch the Milky Way, cook and dine. Paths surround the entire perimeter of the property with enticing places to eat alfresco.
A sunlit SE facing covered porch allows one to stretch-out and nap on winter- sun -warmed bancos (see photos). The kitchen looks out onto Elephant Butte -Cave Creek riparian area at its base- not a human structure in site. A sitting area on West is completely private, not a human dwellung in sight.
The Adobe is well stocked with utensils, handblown Mexican glassware and attractive dishes. Thick stone patios grace the main entrance and the primary bedroom.
Take NOTE: NO TV &, NO SMOKING; YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY DESERT FOREST! No poisons have ever been used on the property since it was built 40-years ago.More than 4 guests requires owner’s permission and an additional charge of $50.00 per night per guest. An extra bed can be placed in the studio.
WIFI: You will make your smartphone/ WiFI supported calls and have "unlimited" internet access via satellite. ( On your phone, go-to 'Settings,' then 'WIFI calling'; you will be prompted to put in a 'physical address'. Do this BEFORE you arrive .) You can FaceTime, Stream or Zoom if you like.
The doors have NO KEYS. Don't bring your diamonds etc. There is always potential for a fire evacuation. We do NOT LOCK!. The firefighters must confirm a dwelling is empty of people in the event of fire evacuation and would, otherwise, need to break-in to verify.
The property is less than 4.5 miles North of Cave Creek under the Tonto Forest mesas and is off an unpaved, narrow, GATED, winding road that hugs a mountain on one side and an arroyo on the other.
Heat is a combination of passive-solar, German-ceramic WESO clean wood burning stove, Rumford fireplace, Beehive fireplace, quiet oil -filled heaters and fan -driven electric heaters. There are requirements for setting a fire so please inquire as there are no-burn days and we are in a drought. The owner will lay an occasional fire for you upon request of fragrant mesquite, oak and juniper.
Contact me If you have any concerns at all and to be certain this is your style of vacationing before booking.
Important: One old dog lives on the adjoining property with the host; they live in a casita one hundred feet away up the canyon. Both dwellings are very private and surrounded by Botanical Garden Award Winning Desert landscaping.
A Gyrotonic Studio located in the Adobe occasionally hosts a single or duo private Gyrotonic Movement Eduction class. The Studio is accessed via a private entrance.
