A Very Cool Tree House in Truchas, NM

July 26, 2012 by Jeane George Weigel

Okay, I live in a tiny village of 900 people. I should know EVERYTHING about this place, right? Well, I found out the other day that I don’t. When my friend, LaShanda Epp, took Kim and me out to see the buffalo (see previous post The Buffalo of Truchas, New Mexico), she asked if we wanted to also see the tree house. The WHAT? Right there on the Lopez ranch, without me ever knowing it, is one of the coolest tree houses you could ever hope to see!

It sits on some of the most beautiful land in Truchas with, you guessed it, stunning views. I want to sleep there and wake as the sun is rising over Truchas Peaks. That won’t be happening any time soon, but at least I can share the experience of visiting it with you.

Take a look at this stunning little place. Wouldn’t you have gone nuts to climb into such an amazing tree house when you were a kid? Heck, Kim and I went nuts now and we’re certainly not kids! Anyway, here you go—photos of one of the coolest tree houses ever:

Love to you all,
Jeane

    Is the house inhabited or is it a tourist rental? Looks amazing:) Thanks for sharing!

      Neither. Jerry keeps it for a place to read. Cool, huh?

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
