'Durazno'' an Arizona paradise near the mountains of Patagonia. Built in 2003, this combined 3 parcel 23 acre writer's retreat is just 10 minutes East of peaceful Patagonia near San Rafael Valley. ''Durazno'' named for it's rich peach colored walls, is a hacienda-style home comprised of a 2,829 sqft., 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath Main House, a 593 sqft Guest House and spacious European style stone barn w/ hay storage and tack room. There is a main courtyard and a heated exercise pool, a wooden ramada w/ flowering vines, fountains and trees. Wooden barn beams from Wisconsin were used in constructing the ceilings. Most doors and windows were imported from England and are aesthetically designed. There are Nepalese columns in the main hallway entry, 4 courtyards, 3 fireplaces. **PLEASE SEE SUPPLEMENT This beautiful custom built home is the creation of accomplished writer Laura Chester. Ms. Chester worked with several architects and incorporated many of the ideas and treasures she and her beloved husband found throughout their travels to various parts of the world. Ms. Chester has authored 24 books and was inspired to build "Durazno" after many years of visiting the area and while enjoying the pleasures of riding the back country. Some of the ideas of her best writings were born here at her personal writer's retreat. This home is truly a masterpiece of the fusion of traditional hacienda and eclectic architecture and must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Note: The chandelier in the living room shown in the photo has been replaced with an equally suitable chandelier obtained from a café from Paris, France.
