Roughly a half mile from Highway 14, this elevated twenty acres is sited for excellent views. Sloping hillside lot with driveway in place, fenced-in area, small sheds suitable for storage or camping. Off-grid, will require solar and well or water hauling. Space, peace and views, ready to be developed into a rural getaway, off-grid homestead, or an excellent homesite within an easy commute to Santa Fe or Albuquerque. Minutes from dining and entertainment opportunities in Madrid.
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.
