Experience the thrill of truly independent living with this off-the grid property, just 40 minutes to either the Santa Fe Plaza or midtown Albuquerque. The 20 acre lot features primarily flat to gently sloping terrain, with plenty of buildable space to construct an entire compound (horses welcome). Enjoy the extraordinary views of the Ortiz, Sandia and Jemez mountains from the buildable acreage, or climb up into the foothills along the eastern side of the property for an even more magnificent view! Only 1.5 miles along "Mailbox Road" from Hwy 14.
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.
