Sage Joy Retreat - An Off-Grid Solar Sanctuary

Sage Joy is a luxury solar home experience; a place to reconnect with yourself and your surroundings. Your hosts have created a thoughtfully considered space for you to relax into the peace of the desert southwest.

Your gracious one level home offers an intentionally furnished open-concept kitchen, living and dining area with two private and well-appointed queen bedrooms. The entire home is Universal Design and ADA compliant. Your spacious full master bath offers a soaking tub and separate tiled shower. Sliding glass and screen doors lead to your choice of covered porches, perennial gardens, or the secret orchard. Enjoy time lounging in comfy chairs taking in Taos Mountain, or napping in the hammock listening to the Stone Forest fountain. Nourish at the family table under the pergola with sunset views.

Sage Joy is fed by the elements; radiant solar energy and rain water. Your home is “off grid” meaning it is not tied to the power grid network, it is thoughtfully designed with state of the art systems for seamless comfort. In the rare event of insufficient sunlight (New Mexico has 355 days of sunshine a year) Sage Joy has propane for radiant heated floors and hot water. Water is the most-precious resource in our high desert so mindful use is encouraged.

Your retreat is located in the high desert surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of the Rockies.

The last 2 miles to Sage Joy is a well maintained dirt road (2 wheel drive is fine). As you turn onto the dirt road you notice the “live and let live” part of the neighborhood. The last mile evolves into a well tended community leading to the respected and peaceful KDC Buddhist Stupa and your Sage Joy Retreat.
