Large house on a mountainside above Madrid on 28 spectacular view acres. Three bedrooms, one bath, with large open kitchen and dining areas, and generous windows and large decks looking out on the world below. This house would benefit from some TLC. About twenty minutes from pavement, depending on how you drive, access is very rough, and requires a four wheel drive with clearance, this location offers considerable privacy and quiet. House is off-grid but does not currently have a solar set up. No well, house is plumbed to a large water tank for water hauling, future rainwater catchment may be possible. Owner financing offered.
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.
