About Us

My photo
Mary and Scott
We have been dreaming of living in southern Utah since we were married in 1982. After exploring the region for many years, we discovered the center of our universe was in Torrey, Utah. We bought ten acres of land with water rights, a rudimentary road and access to city water and power. But the best thing was the beauty of the place. You can't beat the view, the stars at night, the trees along the west property line and the clean air. We know we have an adventure ahead of us with the construction of our strawbale house. We'll do our best to record it all here.
