Amidst scattered mud adobe ruins, ancient mesquite trees, creosote bushes, and captivating views of the Santa Catalina Mountains, it offers a serene retreat.

This property, once an early Hohokam village dating back to the Snaketown phase (C.E. 700-750), transitioned through the Hohokam Classic period (C.E. 1150-1450). In the 1870s, it became part of the US Territorial Fort Lowell. The 1930s-1960s saw it flourish as a hub for a southwestern artist colony, creating a microcosm of the rich cultural tapestry of the Southwest.

The property is located near the intersection Fort Lowell Road and Craycroft Road. The house is set back from the street surrounded by desert vegetation but on the patios the sound of traffic is audible.

    If you are interested in art, architecture, or history, you’ll love the Bolsius House. It has been restored beautifully with additions of artwork and furniture made by Charles Bolsius, the same artisan that built it using burnt adobe bricks and components of old Fort Lowell and who intricately carved its doors.The house is a little quirky, as you’d expect from a historic structure. It’s difficult to figure out which light switches turns on which lights, and some of the door frames are barely over six feet, but those are small inconveniences next to the experience of discovering this unique and notable building.The house was spotless and the host accommodating.
