A most intriguing aspect of
Blue Ridge Passage Resort was discovered by "Shu" the owner. While walking
through a field one day, tracking some power lines to see their destination he
came across a building in a thicket he had not expected when he laid out the
original plans for the resort. Working his way into a block building that
had deteriorated over the years he discovered a treasure!
Casa De Paz which means "House of Peace".
A previous owner of this property was Miss Flora Beatrice Farnham. Simply put, Flora was an artist who traveled all over the world painting murals in churches. The building was her home with her own private chapel where she had painstakingly painted the Crucifixion in "Fresco". Even after the many years of deterioration, the painting was untouched. Miss Farnham passed away in 1979 only two weeks after her 103rd birthday.
The building has now been restored with a new roof and stained glass windows. The interior has been restored by an artist with murals around the perimeter walls depicting the life story of "Jesus" from his birth to resurrection to the empty tomb.
Casa De Paz is always open to everyone that would like to meditate or just bask in the ambiance.
