Guest House and Gardens
The exterior of the house gets even more interesting as the house was built within a large boulder field with hidden porches, walkways and landscaped native gardens. There is a separate one bedroom one bath modern private guest house and a variety of trails, one of which you can hike all the way to top of Sleeping Lion Mountain and beyond. The native gardens were designed by Beth Francell from Ft Davis within rock lined beds which makes this space into a private botanical garden right at your front door.
