Dragoon is rich in history and natural beauty. The name comes from the 3rd U.S. Calvary Dragoons who battled the Chiricahua Apaches here led by Chief Cochise during the Apache Wars. Nearby, you can visit the confederate graves and ruins of the Dragoon Springs Stage Station. About 20 minutes away is Cochise Stronghold, home and burial place of Chief Cochise and Chiricahua Nat'l Monument is about an hour away (great hiking and climbing!). Unique to this area are the amazing rock formations of pillars, balances, and stacked rocks caused by cooled volcanic granite 50 million years ago. In addition, our area is home to hundreds of different bird species, the occasional Gila monster, coyotes, deer, and javalina.

Welcome to Our Earth-Building Artists' Retreat!
Imagine a creative escape that's just a stone's throw away from the stunning landscapes of Arizona's wild desert. Our homestead is nestled right next to hundreds of acres of breathtaking BLM land. Here, awe-inspiring hills tell tales of ancient coral reefs full of desert wildlife and amazing night sky.
History buffs rejoice, you're smack dab in the middle of the legendary mining towns of Tombstone, Bisbee, and Sierra Vista! Explore as you wish—be it the homestead's vibrant heart or the quirky charm of nearby towns.
Our magical retreat offers cozy camping spots with amenities like a shower house featuring on-demand hot water—perfect after a day of adventuring. You'll also have access to Wi-Fi and a composting commode. Need extra comforts? We also offer firewood and water-fill ups on a donation basis!
A Few Considerations Before Booking:
Getting Here: Your journey begins with a scenic drive, we live 5-10 minutes down a dirt road. It’s been graded in the last few months, so standard cars like a Civic or Prius will do just fine. That said, this route isn’t ideal for very low-clearance vehicles, those uneasy about dirt roads, or trailers/RVs over 30 ft.
Off-Grid Adventure: Since we're living that sustainable off-grid dream, we work with what we call a composting "outhouse" rather than a traditional septic system. If this rustic charm doesn’t sit well with you, we might not be the ideal fit.
Pet & Wildlife Lovers: We embrace friendly furry companions! Just bear in mind, the desert is home to critters galore—everything from coyotes to bobcats. Keep a watchful eye on your pets and please make sure you clean up after your pets.
Adult-Only Zone: We cater to an 18+ crowd—so it's a peaceful haven sans kids.
Eco-Friendly Practices: We encourage bringing biodegradable soaps to protect our trees and vegetation, we do provide biodegradable soaps if needed.

When my husband and I were dating in NY we confessed our mutual desire to get back "home" to the west. It made me fall in love with him even faster. So when we married we moved to Washington DC knowing that in time we would make it west. 5 years later, when the traffic and the politics has taken its toll, we made a trip to Tucson and fell in love with this charming property that exudes all the beauty and grace of the Sonoran Desert. We looked at each other as we walked around looking at the stunning Mtn. Views and the mesquite fence and knew we were finally "home."
I've always adored the SW Hummingbirds and wanted to name the property La Hacienda Chuparosa. When we moved in, for the first week, every morning a hummingbird was sipping nectar from one of our plants in the front yard. We knew it was meant to be.
So we added a couple of horses to our dream, built some stalls, and now are ready to welcome you to La Hacienda Chuparosa. We know you will find the same magic here that we do.

We purchased our 20 acre homestead 16 years ago. The buildings were unlivable and land was overgrazed , but the windmill and sweet water well gave promise. We have been Restoring the land, allowing its native habitat to thrive. We now have a Year round vegetable garden, honeybees, orchard and grape vines. The adobe home and outbuildings and Sandhill (Crane) casita are restored with all recycle materials from the property. The 1.5 mile nature trail through grassland ,yucca and mesquite landscape provides solitude and 360 degree views of the sky islands in US and Mexico.

Harry and Barbara are the real deal. Their place is quiet, beautifully kept, and the kind of spot that reminds you why you started traveling this way in the first place. I caught a lunar eclipse during my stay — the dark skies here made it genuinely unforgettable.
But honestly, the best part is the hosts themselves. Humble, gracious, like-minded, and genuinely conscious stewards of their land. You can feel the care they put into this place.
Would recommend in a heartbeat, and I'll absolutely be back.

Our 30' rig fit perfectly in this spot & plenty of room parked nicely next to our friends.
Amenities were perfect and a bit of surprise. Didn't think an outside shower would be anything special. It was a delight to find it. Really enjoyed the proximity to town, the hummingbird sanctuary and lots of hiking. Overall, perfect in every way! Thank you!

1 night at Harry and Barbara’s Windmill.
Beautiful, homey stargazing. Sunrises and sunsets are unbelievable. Amazing stay that provides the best star gazing you could imagine. The grounds are beautiful and well-worth exploring. The indoor space offers a comfortable bed, great books, and a little kitchenette. It was perfect, cozy indoor space for two.
Go for hikes in the Chiricahua National Monument! You won’t see anything like it!
Harry and Barbara are the best! They are the kindest, most welcoming people in the world! They have great recommendations for sight seeing in the area as well! I hope we get to return soon!

Toni & Karl’s property was safe, clean, and FUN. Wish I was in more of a social mood when I arrived, but I was ready for bed!
There was a little something for everyone. They had Dirty Dancing projecting onto the wall over their pool when I visited & a few tables of smiling faces.
I was worried about finding a spot to rest my head with the annual Tucson rock & gem show being in town, but Toni & Karl pulled through for me last minute. I arrived in just a SUV, and they made room for me. Very kind & welcoming! 10/10 recommend!

Terra Sol was the perfect stop on our bikepacking trip through the area. Mary has truly thought of everything you might need for a comfortable stay including insulated tent pads, hot showers with soap and towels, yoga mats for stretching, a kitchen, and loaner bikes you can take into town. We enjoyed chatting with Mary and meeting other bike packers during our stay. Highly recommend!

This was the perfect getaway! I felt like I was in my own little slice of wilderness with an impeccably peaceful quiet, and a vastly dark sky with sooo many stars. The compost toilet feels like a thrown while watching the sunrise.
The neighboring homestead was awesome as well. I had a chance to tour the grounds with the owner which was so informative and cool, and gather some water to bring back to camp.
It was such a necessary break of getting back to basics, and I’ll definitely be back in the future.
Thank you for letting me and my pups enjoy the homestead!
