Opportunity in Madrid! Two one of a kind, slightly funky structures, of stone, wood, andmetal siding, have striking views of hillsides, mountains and town. The much-loved home and the semi- industrialmetal building --the "warehouse/apartment" will make great projects--live in one while you fix up or rent the other. Excellent for a workshop, home business, storage, garage, or rental. Owner estimates the main house at 1100 sq ft and the warehouse/apartment at approx. 1600 all told. On a treed, spacious lot with landscaped terraces and a rocky little arroyo, there's room to park and party--or just relax in the yard. Elements of Madrid's oldmining (and hippie) days abound in the architecture, for example beams from the old Madrid mine building and "found objects" incorporated into the facade. Wood stoves, conventional electric, Madrid watermembership. Walk to everything Madrid including the tavern, dispensary, restaurants and galleries.
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.
