Restored to be warm, cozy, easy to maintain, energy efficient, and economical it has proven itself to be all they had hoped and more. No attention to detail was lost on this home or outbuildings.

Here also is where you will find the best views in Yarnell of three important local icons. Yarnell's pride and joy the "Boulder Mountain", also the works of two famous and renowned artists Felix Lucero The Shrine of St. Joseph of The Mountains and Allessio Cararro The Grotto. Mulberry, Plum, Apricot, peach, apple, cherry, blackberry elderberry, walnuts, iris, periwinkle, roses, poppies, wisteria, stargazers, allium, sativa, ivy and more await you each year. Since it's completion in 2014 this property has become a hub of activity for the entire community and beyond. Many have attended events here. Weddings, memorials, reunions, fundraisers music festivals, the Miller Creek Rubber Duck races, Halloween performance and party, a Dickens of a Christmas, "senior Prom" and more...
