Beyond the Walls: From Open Courtyards to Enclosed Spaces | The Aranya House

This house was designed with a cozy courtyard and a linear design that offers views to the internal garden. With capacity for three generations, it features an organization of two blocks, where the north block houses the entry hall, kitchen, and guest room on the ground floor, while the south block comprises the dining room, living room, and parents’ bedroom, all opening onto the garden. Upstairs, the daughter’s and son’s bedrooms are situated further to the north, while the living area and master bedroom occupy the south wing, enjoying views of the garden. The house combines features of openness and enclosure, using concrete and terracotta, and balances green spaces with gray concrete surfaces. It is a continuation of courtyard types, integrating harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.

    Find your escape in our high-desert hidden gem, perched on the brink of untouched wilderness amidst enchantingly weathered boulders, ancient juniper, pinón and desert oak trees. The tranquility will envelop you as you take in the brilliant, fiery sunsets with a 360 degree view from our expansive wrap-around wood deck equipped with ample seating, pool (non heated) and jacuzzi (heated), and a propane grill. After the sun goes down, stay up all night stargazing (we recommend the Star Walk App!) or pull out the telescope for those who already know where to look. Or just soak in the hot tub and enjoy the profound silence. Making our way inside, the open floor plan abode features large windows and glass doors that afford guests with breathtaking views of the 20 acre surrounding high desert wonderland. The furniture and décor shows an eclectic mix of midcentury modern, Native American, and Bohemian elements. We comfortably sleep four, between one queen bed and another queen pullout sofa mattress. This is the only home on the property, so you will have the entire place to yourselves – the perfect retreat for anyone who simply wants to decompress in style and serenity. Great for couples, solo adventurers, and families alike! We are 100% off grid home. Fueled by solar energy, propane & water deliveries and occasionally back up generator in times of need.
