LIME WASHING THE INTERNAL LIVING ROOM WALLS

SKY HACIENDA - Follow the creation of Sky Hacienda, a unique building project in South America.

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

ABOUT SKY HACIENDA

June Donaldson and Edward Garry live at an altitude of 2,600 metres in Mosoj Llajta, Yotala, 20 minutes from the colonial city of Sucre in Bolivia, South America. Using earth and stones from the land, we have sculpted beautiful buildings which compliment the high desert landscape and incorporate creative and innovative elements of design.

We have designed a high quality hotel in Sucre for guests who want to get off the treadmill of travelling from city to city in South America. At Sky Hacienda you can dictate your own timing and choose how to enjoy your stay, whether it is doing very little or exploring the best that the Andes in Bolivia has to offer.

LIME WASHING THE INTERNAL LIVING ROOM WALLS

Although June had been game for lime washing the interior walls of the single storey section of the Roundhouse, when it came to the living room she handed over the paintbrush to Ed.

The job required balancing on planks propped up on Bolivian style scaffolding and having a strong head for heights.
