It started with the purchase of 11 acres of rural land in Yotala, 25 mins from the Unesco World Heritage Site of the city of Sucre, Bolivia. 3 years later we opened as a small boutique hotel to recoup our investment, gaining top ratings locally and nationally. 4 years later we closed and reclaimed Sky Hacienda as our home. The creation of a development of plots of land in the grounds now gives our buyers the same all-year-round temperate climate and amazing views we enjoy. www.skyhacienda.com

THE PLAN
The oblong plot consists of just over 10 acres of land giving us plenty of scope to create multiple projects over the years. It is bordered on one of the short sides by a public access dirt road and a steep slope leading down to a ditch on the other. The long sides of the oblong slope down from back to front facing north (don't forget we're in the southern hemisphere) with two knolls at the high end giving sites for the main building and e cottage.
There are no planning restrictions on building in rural areas - we can build what we like and don't have to submit drawings for approval. So we can indulge ourselves with a mix of our two favourite design concepts - Antoni Guadi from Barcelona and New Mexico adobe architecture.
