Why they chose this property

The Sunny Mellow Eco Villa Story

The serendipity of Sunny Mellow began with the name... Our daughter Elliott Marie penned a fantasy story in the 4th grade. In checking it for errors, I noticed the name of her fantastic Land was "Sunny Mellow". We had just purchased the first half of the property when I asked her if we could use her Sunny Mellow Name for our new home. "Sure Daddy" she replied in total cuteness, "The Sunny Mellow Name will help keep our home safe and alway happy and fun". She continued. "There are not many places were the Sun rises in the East end of the canyon and sets in the West end of a canyon", she thought with her eyebrows lifted! "And we need a name that makes everyone smile", she exclaimed! "I can't wait to meet people from all over the World! "Oh Daddy". Then with a quite afterthought, Elliott Marie came close to my ear and whispered... "I Love My Sunny Bedroom at Sunny Mellow"!

Standing in the horse stable on our first day here, I thought, "Don't want horses, what to do with this structure"? I woke the next morning with the answer from a dream... A guesthouse! In 4 months we had remodeled the horse stable using stable wood into a one bedroom fully equipped small home! We used it for guests and as Robbie's art studio until that day when a friend suggested I list it for short term rental.

I laughed and did so. I pressed the button to list it and bing! Rented immediately... And continuously every since.

We purchased the second half of the property and on it built a second and third house for rentals... And The Chi-Treehouse! Being the success and great fun that it became, we finally built The Yoga Yurta as icing on the cake of our Sunny Mellow Eco Villa Empire, LOL! The Garden, Vineyard, Orchard and all the paths the link everything together just came along in time. Solar power is a passion and fun to tinker with. Yoga on the Expansive Redwood Yoga deck is a outright pleasure and Ping Pong under the stars a hoot!

What makes this property unique

Roberta and I fell in Love with Sunny Mellow as we ascending the local peaks and looked down on it's quiet, Shangra-La secluded valley so conveniently close but over the sound break ridge from I 40. Just a jump in any direction to the Glories of New Mexico, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Mountain Air, or The Blue Hole at Santa Rosa! We looked at each other and committed that one day we would own a piece of property that we would make uniquely ours in that Edenic Valley... And HERE WE ARE!!! Ride'Um Cowboy... Whoopee! So come now and join us on this Historic Land used by the Tijeras Indians... AND... Billy the Kid and his Gang!
