Purchased in 1999, the Bachechi property is 27 acres of fertile valley farmland located at 9521 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, just south and east of the adjacent 8-acre Alameda Open Space that is owned and operated by the City of Albuquerque Open Space Division. It is adjacent to the Rio Grande bosque and Rio Grande Valley State Park. Bachechi was formerly known as Sullivan’s Stables where a commercial equestrian operation was located since the mid-1970s.

Prior to equestrian activities, the property was a private farm where alfalfa and chickens were raised.  The Bachechi family is part of Albuquerque’s interesting history of Italian immigration.  Family patriarch, Oreste Bachechi, Carlo's father, built the Kimo Theatre in downtown Albuquerque back in the mid-1920s.
