For Star subscribers: Two years after the death of founder Winn Bundy, the Singing Wind Bookstore and ranch near Benson have been sold to a new owner who hopes to reopen one of the Southwest’s most unique literary landmarks.
Two years after the death of its charismatic curator, the Singing Wind Bookstore and ranch have been sold to a new owner who hopes to reopen one of the Southwest’s most unique literary landmarks.
Though tucked away on a dirt road about two miles north of Interstate 10, the place developed a worldwide following — mostly by word of mouth — for its inventory of interesting titles and its generous support of Arizona authors. When Bundy ran out of space on the shelves that her husband, Bob, built by hand from local mesquite, she would stash books anywhere else she could.
“It was kind of too soon to reopen and hard to know what to do after my grandmother died,” she said. “It was hard to give it the time it needed and deal with everything else that was going on.” He and his wife, Rene, are also committed to reopening the bookstore, which Bundy named, like the ranch itself, for the way the wind sings through the mesquite trees there.
“They are kind of dream buyers for us,” she said. “It was the needle in the haystack that we were trying to find.”The Singing Wind Ranch was in the Bundy family for 66 years. Bob and Winn Bundy bought the place along the San Pedro River in 1956, after his job with Hughes Aircraft brought them to Tucson from Los Angeles.
