Page 9 The saga started innocently enough. An Arcadia businessman decides to build a humble retreat near a picturesque Southern Arizona town. You know, a place for him and his friends to get away from the hustle and bustle, drink some wine and get acquainted with nature. Thus began a two-decade odyssey—including seven years of painstaking site development, construction and ahead-of-its-time green living ingenuity—resulting in a property modest in appearance yet richly therapeutic. As a lifelong Phoenician, Steve Farrell grew up with a rather typical experience with seasonal properties. His family had two cabins, one in Pinetop and another in Prescott, where they’d escape the heat and get a taste of the snowy seasons. When he reached his thirties and decided to build a second home of his own, Steve wanted something atypical. He considered Southern Arizona. He’d never really been south of Tucson and had heard wonderful stories about the sleepy artist community of Patagonia. He imagined a retreat off the grid, away from the horde and modern conveniences. So one Presidents Weekend (Farrell likes to say “in the early 90s” as if the exact date isn’t really important) he and some friends drove down to Patagonia to connect with a Realtor. The Realtor showed him a property offering exactly what he envisioned. Destiny, perhaps.
