Galeria Viviente - 60's Singer Donna Loren's enchanting mountainside retreat is only 5 minutes from everything that Bisbee has to offer. A secluded "Eco" property offering an experience of nature within a luxury architectural design w/breathtaking views. Masterfully crafted by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, enjoy conscious living w/Soft Rainwater, a 'grey' waste-water system, an electric toilet, all powered by solar. Furnished with a mid-century ambiance including a vinyl music collection.
Galeria Viviente (Living Gallery) is a 950-sq ft 2-level Eco-Friendly Casita designed to highlight the 360 degree views from all of the masterfully placed windows.
The house has 12" thick insulated walls to keep you comfortable throughout the year. Every drop of water originates from our rain catchment system. The water then passes through a double filtration system before use. Mindfulness of this precious resource is another aspect of being on an Eco property. Your gratitude of Nature will increase and integrate into your consciousness.
Eco-House features: Delicious, soft rainwater, grey waste-water system (no septic or sewer), alternative, highly efficient electric toilet.
Guests have access to the entire casita, the front patio, the parking areas and driveway. The property is wild and natural. We ask that you only explore on the areas we have designated. There are many hiking trails in and around Bisbee. The upper house and garage area are private and may not be approached.
We live on property and initially greet all guests to provide a brief explanation of the unique features of the home. I am always available by text.
Galeria Viviente is located on Historic Highway 80 just outside of Old Bisbee. The property is on a hillside of solid granite in the Mule Mountains on 5.5 private acres surrounded by Federal land. There are no neighbors. Quiet, clear night skies. Jaw-dropping views in all directions. At 5800' elevation we are blessed with a mild year-round climate.
Although the property is in the country, it is only a short 5-8 minute drive to historic Old Bisbee. To the west, about 20-minutes away, is the City of Sierra Vista at the foot of the magnificent Huachaca Mountains. To the east, the historic town of Tombstone is 30-minutes away. The property has dedicated parking right up to the front of the Casita.
This micro-climate is home to white-tailed deer, the rare coatimundi, a bounty of birds and the elusive jaguar. Keep your eyes open! Wake up to the amazing songs of the birds. No need for an alarm clock here!
