Utterly charming home located in Madrid along the Turquoise Trail Scenic Byway. Area is an impossibly hip artist commune born in the resurrected ruins of an historic gold/coal mining town. This small village is bustling with shops/restaurants/galleries and a visual feast for the eyes. Adobe home gutted/remodeled recently will not disappoint your expectations. Home has "designer" higher-end finishes, and you will be surprised at the functionality of the kitchen and the spa-like feeling of the bath area. The patio area is a lovely spot for entertaining and the customized shipping container with french doors makes a wonderful studio. You will be surprised at how much this little gem has to offer.
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.
