Driving around the countryside of western Montezuma County aroused our curiosity about a burned out, trashed, neglected and abandoned 20 acres with "For Sale" sign. The curious concrete wall, crumpled mobile home, broken bottles and beer cans strewn everywhere made us wonder what had gone on. Despite the pitiful state of the grounds, the views, cedar/pinon forest and rock bluffs were spectacular. We purchased the property and rolled up our sleeves. Honestly, our first year (2009) focused on clean-up, fire mitigation and dealing with debris.
Our work is never done. Our dreams for Sand Canyon House as an outdoor events and conference center are slowly coming to fruition. Our wedding (2014) included 150 guests. It was a good lesson about event hosting. We will build more infrastructure including all weather parking lot, indoor facilities as "Plan B" and start on our camping and cabins areas.
We love being here! If you enjoy hilltops with far views, archaeological treasures such as Sand Canyon Pueblo and Trail, high desert plains with mountains and canyons galore, you will love Sand Canyon House too!
