With picturesque views stretching out to the La Bajada Mesa and of all the surrounding mountain ranges, this private get-away on 10 acres is located in a serene off-grid community just South of Madrid and not too far from Albuquerque or Santa Fe. Sitting on a open mesa, with uncontaminated views of the surrounding night skies, this mobile home has recent upgrades including new wood vinyl flooring. Gather around the cozy wood stove or in the good-sized kitchen while enjoying the quiet of this setting that remains one of the most pristine areas near Santa Fe. While the property is out a ways off a dirt road, the ride is worth the trip to see the landscape open up to the big mesa views that are not to be missed. The property is gated and partially fenced with detached storage unit, water catchment system, separately fenced dog yard, and good solar electric power.
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.
