10 ACRES at RIO HONDO Originally built as a camp for children as a respite from city life, all that remains of CHAPEL HILL is the original lodge and its chapel.

The present owners were interrupted in mid-renovation of the interior of the lodge, after installing a new well in 2003 and a galvalume standing seam roof in 2002. The approximately 1500 square foot, split-level lodge was built as a home by the original homesteaders in 1973. Their room-arrangement included two bedrooms in the upper level, hobby room, great room with fireplace, family room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom and utility room. Their pottery workshop and little village for the children were in ill-repair and have been removed to open up one of the prettiest views around.

The 10 ACRES is a beautiful tract of land, bisected by a little meandering run-off creek, with a little hill in the back. The view of Shadow Dance ranch is peaceful and inspiring. A free-standing garage/storage shed has been added for your bikes, canoes or building materials. The chapel has wood floors, high ceilings and lots of windows. It measures about 450 square feet (CADBC).
