A PLACE TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL. If living away from the hustle and bustle of everything is your desire, this is a fantastic off grid property. Small but oh so self-sufficient. 20 acres with incredible views of the Jemez Mountain range, The Sandia mountains, The Sangre de Cristos off in the distance and you can almost reach out and touch the Ortiz mountains. The home itself is small but with a great footprint for growth. Amenities include a woodstove, but the passive solar heat is all you need during the day. The adobe construction does wonders for insulation. Solar panels for electricity, and back up battery system. Propane for cooking and the Hot Water Heater. Septic system is fairly new. A private well and 2 large cisterns for water storage. 4 acres are fenced in but the majority of the property is on the opposite side of the road. The Quaint town of Madrid is just down the road. Sellers are motivated and are offering Owner Finance for the right buyer. This is special property. So much Potential! So much more that doesn't fit in this description. Living room windows have just been replaced. And the walk up stairway replaced the old acess to the sleeping area. There is added electrical hook up for an RV or tiny house. The back up battery system was upgraded by current owner.
Once home to the large mining community, Madrid is now a sleepy little town of artists. With an ice cream parlour and old fashioned businesses, Madrid feels other-worldly to visitors. Homes here are early 20th century wooden structures painted a variety of colors. Just north of Madrid is Cerrillos, a traditional New Mexico village of older adobes and quaint shops.
The Turquoise Trail! A beautiful road from Santa Fe all the way to Albuquerque. With many lots 2.5 acres or more, this area is perfect for raising horses on wide open spaces with fewer building restrictions than in the city of Santa Fe. The famous Eaves Movie Ranch where movies like “The Cheyenne Social Club” and “Silverado”were filmed completes the Old West feeling.
This rapidly growing area with plans for expansion extending into the 2050’s is largely made up of rolling hills dotted with pinon and juniper. Most of the communities located here have extraordinary views of the Jemez, the Sangres and the Sandias.
