The carved patio wood work was repurposed from salvaged components of the original gates of Las Saetas, adding a touch of historical significance and design continuity to the property.
The couple also maintained a cabin called "Château Leachar"[4] on nearby Mount Lemmon in Willow Canyon, which was they purchased in 1972, and burnt down in 2003 as part of the Aspen Fire.
