This amazing property actually holds a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. More correctly referred to as "The Empie Petroglyph Site" this is the home that Bill and Sunny Empie built into a cluster of giant rocks in around 1980. The boulders on this property are 1.45 billion years old, and have played host to many nomadic Native American tribes throughout the centuries. Each of the traveling bands have left their mark on the rock outcroppings in the way of graphic Petroglyphs.
The Empies purchased the property in 1974, and then employed the talents of Santa Fe architect Chuck Johnson to create a home that actually absorbed the rocks themselves. Inside, the walls are the ancient stones, and the petroglyphs can be found outdoors in niches. The passages that existed within the rock cluster remain as they were, and now are used as hallways.
Perfect for spousal tours or for small groups of 60 or less inside, and also available as an executive retreat option. Your guests won't stop talking about this one!
