Cute adobe perfect for artist/writer/retreat now has possible owner carry with large down/short term. Contemplate the skies, stars and geography from this much-loved, mostly adobe house, high up on the mesa S. of the Galisteo River. The 360 degree views of the Sangres, Jemez, Sandias, Turquoise Hills, Tetilla Peak and La Bajada will amaze you. Only 5.2 miles to pavement, but feels remote and private. Quality built, on approximately 10 acres, off-grid, w/ water catchment and solar panels. There are pine and tile floors, vigas/beams, wood stove, gas heaters, views from every window. There is also a bonus outbuilding that can be a mini-guesthouse and a nice storage shed for your stuff. Complete privacy and solitude yet not far from Santa Fe or Albuquerque.
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.
