This beautiful custom built home is the creation of accomplished writer Laura Chester. Ms. Chester worked with several architects and incorporated many of the ideas and treasures she and her beloved husband found throughout their travels to various parts of the world. Ms. Chester has authored 24 books and was inspired to build "Durazno" after many years of visiting the area and while enjoying the pleasures of riding the back country. Some of the ideas of her best writings were born here at her personal writer's retreat. This home is truly a masterpiece of the fusion of traditional hacienda and eclectic architecture and must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Note: The chandelier in the living room shown in the photo has been replaced with an equally suitable chandelier obtained from a café from Paris, France.
