🌴 FOR SALE: Private Garden Oasis in San Felipe
Step into a one-of-a-kind desert sanctuary—an extraordinary lush garden oasis thoughtfully created over decades by artist Melody Ashley, located in Ejido Plan Nacional Agrario, San Felipe, Baja California.
Originally purchased in February 2004, this property began as a vision rooted in creativity and sustainability. By April of that year, construction was underway on the tire-fence perimeter, concrete block home, and art studio. Even before completion, Melody—alongside neighbors—was already transforming the land into a thriving desert garden, her true passion and living artwork.
🌵 A Home Built with Vision & Art
In 2005, construction expanded to include a stunning master suite built with rammed earth tire construction, a technique inspired by actor Dennis Weaver and the “Earthship” homes of New Mexico. During this time, Melody also mentored local builder Felix Campista in this unique building method.
By 2006, 32 California palm trees were planted, forming the foundation of the now-mature tropical landscape.
The property continued evolving:
• 2014: Main house expansion
• 2015: Second story addition above master suite
• 2025: Beautiful casita completed by master builder Tino Meza, who played a major role in shaping many of the property’s unique features
