Nestled in the heart of historic Madrid village and close to the County greenbelt, this unique .64-acre property offers a blend of charm and functionality. It features a 972-square-foot artistic main home, a 443-square-foot studio complete with a shower and sink, and a bright, spacious 750-square-foot workshop. The workshop is equipped with a wood stove for heating and a mini-split system that also provides heating and cooling. The main home showcases partial adobe construction, a sunlit atrium, a two-way kiva fireplace, and a bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub. The property consists of two legally recorded lots. Both the studio and the main house open to an expansive fenced yard with secure coyote fencing, ideal for pets. Just off the kitchen's patio doors lies a tranquil patio space, adding to the peaceful ambiance. This property is part of a lively, creative community with coffee shop, galleries, restaurants, and a general store--all within walking distance. Its location offers convenient access to Albuquerque and Santa Fe via the scenic Turquoise Trail. A perfect blend of artistry, community, and work-at-home possibilities awaits.
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.
