Affordable off-grid acreage south of Madrid. 20 acres with flat, buildable areas near Sendero de Toho, a deep, dramatic arroyo with interesting topography, and expansive views of the Jemez mountains and up-close views into Ortiz. 3.3 miles off of Highway 14. Quiet and private spot for your off-grid home. Road is primitive but does not require a high clearance vehicle in normal weather. Mapping apps may direct you to come at the lot from Rattler Road, there is no access from that direction, see map in photos and use Sendero de Toho.
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.
