Gila house

The house is perfect for those who want to stay outside of Silver City in a secluded spot. We enjoyed being close to places to hike and bird.

Beautiful

Online photos do not show the views from this home, which are beautiful. Nothing but nature out of every window. There are multiple patios and decks. Each bedroom has a door out to a patio. The main deck is off the great room. Home is nestled into hillside with massive boulders. Very striking. Super quiet, peaceful, relaxing, and clean. Everything about the home is comfortable - layout, beds, furniture. Furnishings are not new, but they are solid and of high quality. Our teenage son was happy that cell and internet service was strong and reliable. Gorgeous hikes that we could start right from the house. Windows in home are in abundance and are large fixed glass with smaller casement rollouts below. With those open, we didn't tend to get a great cross breeze for our mid-October visit, so if a warmer time of year, I could see things heating up inside and needing to crank down the A/C. Main floor is on the top floor, reached by exterior or interior stairs, and includes living/dining/kitchen/primary bedroom & bath. The primary bedroom has a very large private double vanity and shower, but shares a separate powder bath (toilet and sink) with great room. The downstairs (walkout to driveway) has a second master bedroom with attached private bath & jacuzzi, office with a single bed, powder bath near office, and a game room with a ping pong table. Loved the place and would definitely go back!

Pinos altos cabin

Wonderful home in the hills very quiet with hiking trails just out the door. Hiking the “agave garden” was a little rough in places requiring some bush walking, but the 4 mile trail right next to driveway entrance is fabulous.

The Perfect Place in the Perfect Location

A wonderful home nestled in a remarkable bit of geography. Exceeded expectations greatly and wetted our appetite to return again soon. We felt transported into the best of nature and also so comfortable at the same time. Thank you The Shapero

About the host

Hosted by Laura

The owner, Bruce, was a factory worker, logger, newspaper reporter, PR flunkie, and unpublished fiction writer before he discovered computers and lost all interest in reality. He spent 12 years in a computer fog, but gave it all up to move to the Silver City area in 1999. He is now in recovery, but does find time to manage an office building and a few other business projects in town.

Why they chose this property

Bruce lived in this beautiful house for five years before turning it into a vacation rental. If you don't book it, he probably will. It's a sacred place that he likes to share with others.

What makes this property unique

Beyond us are only a couple of tiny communities and a hundred miles of wilderness. In this secluded environment, you can hear the diverse sounds of many different varieties of birds, view the Milky Way amidst the dark, starry night skies, watch breath-taking sunsets right from the living room, and hike many nearby trails all the while reconnecting with the natural world AND your own inner landscape.
