    Description

    Hello, we are Karina & Christian and we are starting to develope an off-grid 4 acre property in Huachuca City, AZ. We are currently working on finishing up a hyperbole shed, and have started on the foundation of our earthbag home. We will need help with various tasks such as building, planting, plastering, trail clearing, etc. If you are interested in learning about natural building and off-grid living in a beautiful desert landscape then this is the right place for you!

    We are an hour outside Tuscon, AZ and 20 minutes from Sierra Vista. There is plenty of outdoor activities close by to enjoy on your off time. Having your own transportation is preferred but not necessary for the stay.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    This is a beautiful place to experience just taking walks and looking at the natural beauty of the desert. Sleeping under the stars with tremendous clarity that touches our heart and souls. Wonderful place for spiritual growth. Learning is always accomplished going to different places and with all the different construction projects around here there are no shortages for that experience.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have plenty of space to pitch a tent. We have 2 tents with gear for use.

    If traveling by van/rv there are spaces for you to park.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    On your time off, you can relax, go hiking, I have bikes for riding or bring your own. There are plenty of places to visit within a 1 hour drive. Bisbee is a fun little mountain town within 45 minute drive. There is a seasonal river 15 minute drive from the house you can take a dip in.

    I have vehicles to take anyone to certain places based on our planning for outings.
    I believe in treating people as you want to be treated. I expect everyone to clean up after themselves or designate different chores for every individual they are okay with. Just as you would in any community living. I live drama free and expect just that.
