Writer's House Wing w bath & suite (2 options)
A Message from the House for Writers
Hospitality first. Kindness forward. Creativity always.
You don’t have to be a writer to live here — but if you are, you’ll find inspiration, opportunity, and a home that understands the creative mind. This house is built on warmth, shared meals, shared stories, and the belief that creativity inspires creativity.
I want you to come home and be part of the family. To live, rest, work, and enjoy your life here. Bring your friends for dinner or an afternoon. Fill the rooms with conversation, laughter, and ideas. And yes — selfishly — I’m always looking for more writers. My magazine is brand new, and this is a rare chance to build something from the ground up: your own column, your own deadlines, your own voice in a growing publication.
I’m still licensing up. I’m an over‑educated senior citizen, a philanthropist with a soft spot for writers and good writing. If you’re creative, curious, or simply craving a place to belong, this house is for you.
Oh enough about me, let's find out about you. You are the most important ingredient. Your needs are important. Your space is your own turn the movies up and enjoy your life here.

Community Ethos & Lifestyle
Who This Home Is For
People who want to come home — truly home — and help build a new family over time.
People who love reading, writing, acting, studying, producing, preparing, imagining.
Mature grown‑ups who thrive in creative environments and respect the craft of others.
Inclusivity
Gender, identity, and lifestyle choices are respected.
The rule is simple: everything in moderation.
Forgiveness is the heartbeat here — forward‑moving, generous, and human.
Seasonal & Cultural Celebrations
We celebrate holidays with joy and hospitality:
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Easter —
and also cultural and ancestral observances like Yule, Día de los Muertos, Cinco de Mayo, and others.
This is a house that honors tradition, creativity, and the stories behind every ritual.
The Environment
A private, peaceful home designed to grow into a Heritage House — seasoned early by the sages, artists, and thinkers who pass through.
We contain the drama for the benefit of our work, not live it for the benefit of miscommunication.
