Lovely off-the-grid solar adobe on 40 beautiful, tree studed acres with productive greenhouse, small studio, large well-built storage shed included, as is a well tended garden area. Wonderful long views to many mountain ranges, very quiet and very private. This property is only 7/10 of a mile off county pavement and public electricity, and 25 minutes from downtown! Includes very large water storage in great condition. The adobe is laid side to side to give added insulation, and the north wall is double thickness. The property has a small guest house.
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.
