Come take a look while this gem is available. Nestled in the gently rolling hills just south of the village of Los Cerrillos and just 25 minutes from Santa Fe, this breathtaking 36-acre horse property brings all the comforts of modern, city life to the country. The 5,400 sq. ft. main house with classic Santa Fe architectural details like vigas, beams, plaster walls and high ceilings also offers a gracious master suite with good separation form the guest wing which includes 2 bedrooms and a full kitchen. Surrounded by a lovely garden and pond to the east and 2,400 sq. ft. of outdoor covered portals with two fireplaces looking north and west to the Jemez Mountains, the Cerrillos State Park and BLM land to enjoy both privacy and profound silence. An elegant formal living and dining room and a well-equipped chef's kitchen adjacent to a cozy den and informal dining space are handy to the downstairs home theater and exercise rooms. This estate also has a variety of outbuildings including a tack room (510 sq. ft.) that could easily become a casita or art studio, a manufactured home (628 sq. ft.) ideal for overseer's quarters, a 4-car detached garage and workshop, 4 indoor/outdoor stables, hay storage building and a pipe-fenced riding arena.
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.
