Outstanding views, underground power, and well maintained roads make this 40 acre parcel an excellent choice for someone looking for both rural serenity and modern convenience. Bounded on 3 sides by rarely traveled dirt roads, the vast majority of this parcel features a gentle, easy to build slope, with one edge dropping into a dramatic arroyo. Mountain views in every direction, and the kind of starlit night skies you won't see in the city. Six miles from dining in Cerrillos, and 22 miles from the south side of Santa Fe. HOA fees are currently $300/year, mostly for road maintenance. Covenants forbid manufactured homes but have no style or size restrictions. Owner may finance. Adjacent parcel also for sale for buyers seeking even more room.
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.
