This home offers all of the luxury of Santa Fe living with the tranquility of space, views, and architecture. Built of adobe and rastra with reclaimed ceiling beams the single level home has 3 bedrooms plus a spacious office, which could also be a bedroom. The warm and inviting living area with 15 foot ceilings and large fireplace welcomes you to gaze upon the magnificent views of several NM mountain ranges. The living area opens to a large covered outdoor portal with another fireplace to enjoy the fresh NM air and to garden. Adjacent to the large kitchen is a sunroom with a year round exercise pool.In addition to the main house, there is a historic log cabin guest house. The log cabin was transported to NM from the East, piece by piece and meticulously reconstructed as a charming 1056 sf guest house. The guest house is self contained with kitchen, bathroom, living areas, and large bedroom. It enjoys the privacy of a covered front porch, again overlooking the enchanting vistas. A six stall barn completes this idyllic ranch providing your horses with spacious accommodations, a tack room, tool room, water and electricity. Hay storage, corrals, pens, and a chicken coop provide flexibility and a sustainable lifestyle for all.
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.
