House 1 is centrally located near a quiet dry wash, and wonderful for those who prefer a sense of community and support during retreat. The house was designed with separate rooms for sleeping, relaxation, cooking, bathing and meditation practice, making it comfortable for either a solo retreater or a couple.

In warmer weather the adobe earth floors and cathedral ceiling keeps the bedroom and practice space cool, and in winter the sun porch warms the whole house. All walls are finished with American Clay colors in natural, earth tones.

The house has 6 southern exposure windows for a full view of the peaks of the Chiricahua mountain range.
