This gated 30-acre off-grid estate is located midway between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The ideal setting for anyone in search of open space and privacy, the sophisticated property includes a two-bedroom post-and-beam home; a freestanding one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse with a kitchenette; and a workshop, studio, and oversized garage that can accommodate an RV. Inviting and lofty, the main residence features a light-filled living and dining area with vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams, two master suites with full baths--one with a new double shower--a gourmet kitchen with a commercial-grade Wolf range, granite countertops, and hickory cabinets; and numerous superior details. A comfortable new covered porch with sliding screen doors makes the most of the location and views. The property also boasts mature landscaping, courtyards, and a private well and is approximately one mile from New Mexico Highway 14. A state-of-the-art solar array and a backup propane generator support the estate's modern conveniences, including electricity in the home and the garage. Fast, reliable Internet service is available, and a corral is in place for horses, which are welcome here.
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.
