Leave the world behind in this self-sufficient, off-the grid property on 30-acres with horse facilities, fully-fenced, just off the Scenic Turquoise Trail. This ranchette includes gracious Adobe passive-solar home with large kitchen including walk-in pantry and eat-in counter, downstairs master suite/apartment, interior garden courtyards with fruit trees, and Meditation tower. The compound is encircled by an adobe patio wall that connects the home's outdoor living spaces to the garden area, "Hogan" casita, and barn. Detached garage with carport. Rounded plaster walls, brick and wood floors, warm wood accents and elegant fixtures throughout showcase this comfortable home that is designed for modern living with a solar photovoltaic system that can accommodate all the modern conveniences. The upstairs bedroom commands 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains and has attached office area that could convert to upstairs bath. The downstairs suite could be developed into a separate apartment with its own entrance. Five wood stoves throughout the property and thoughtful passive solar design as well as solar hot water system and private well make propane and conventional utility use almost unnecessary even in the cold winter months. Separately fenced horse-run with shelter and modern barn with tack room. Uncontaminated night skies in an off-grid community just South of Santa Fe. The property also includes a novelty and authentic Santa Fe Railcar.
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.
