Luxe Bisbee "Eco-Casita" Retreat in the Mountains with SRT*
60's Actress/Singer Donna Loren's enchanting mountainside retreat is only 5 minutes from everything that Bisbee has to offer. This secluded "Eco" property offers an experience of nature within a luxury architectural design with breathtaking views. Masterfully crafted by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, you will enjoy conscious living w/Soft Rainwater*, a 'grey' waste-water system, an electric toilet, all powered by solar energy. the entire casita is furnished with a mid-century ambiance including vintage audio gear (Yamaha, Bose, Sony, Audio-Technica) and a curated vinyl and CD music collection. *In dry years we may augment w/municipal water. 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. Located on Historic Highway 80 just outside of Old Bisbee, the property is on a hillside of solid granite in the beautiful 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 relatively mild year-round climate. 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 drinking 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. There is a 5G tower nearby for excellent phone and internet reception. Our Internet clocks at 13mps. Eco-House features: Delicious, soft rainwater, grey waste-water system (no septic or sewer), alternative highly efficient electric toilet. Powered by off-sight solar energy. 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 to explore. The upper house and garage area are private and should be respected.
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, javelina, wild turkey, a bounty of birds as well as the elusive jaguar. Keep your eyes open! Wake up to the amazing songs of the birds. No need for an alarm clock here!

Additional Information Below.
About the Science of Resonance Physical science has shown us that every material object and every living thing has a natural resonance frequency or frequencies which are determined by that object’s physical structure. Science also shows that when something is exposed to external frequencies that match its unique resonance frequency, then that object literally becomes stronger, more stable and its natural energies more coherent. This natural resonant effect operates in human beings too, of course: we sense it, we know it, and we certainly experience its energies when we feel relaxed and focused, when we are surrounded by a close friend or loved ones, and when we literally find ourselves in nature. Grounded in these scientific discoveries and reflecting human experience, at the very heart of all Q-Link® products is the proprietary crystalline core which we call Sympathetic Resonance Technology™ (SRT™). It is this SRT-core that reinforces the body’s resonance, returning it to a clearer and more balanced natural state. From the Latin root word resonare, “to resonate” literally means "return to sound"; so when two objects interact sympathetically, just like two similarly tuned tuning forks, or two friends coming together, their energies interact and amplify each other. Q-Link products are programmed with an array of natural frequencies that resonate with the body's natural energy frequencies. The resulting resonant effect is similar to the healthy, energizing experiences we have in nature, in positive interactions with others, and while participating in self-balancing, restorative activities. And because it takes less effort and energy to maintain an object already functioning at more ideal “resonance frequencies”, the more often you wear or use Q-Link, the better it can work for you. SRT™ has demonstrated its effectiveness in a wide range of experiments and research, including trials at U.C. Irvine, University of Vienna, and Imperial College London, all of which demonstrated significant effects on living systems. Learn more about select Q-Link science and peer reviewed, published studies. Even more significant and interesting perhaps are reports from thousands of satisfied Q-Link users over 3 decades. Learn more about the importance of the resonance effect and its role in optimal well-being, performance and quality of life. More Info: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/file... Please Note: SRT has been incorporated into the Casita as an enhancement to your experience. While there are no known negative or side-affects to SRT Technology, if for any reason you would like the devices deactivated, I am happy to do so. You may let me know prior to your arrival or anytime during your stay.
