At the end of the road off a quiet cul-de-sac, this 80-acre offering comprised of two legal lots of record has stunning and extraordinary views of all the area mountain ranges, from the Sangre de Cristos to the Jemez mountains. Overlooking the red rocks of the Garden of the Gods and out to the Galisteo Basin, this pristine and dramatically beautiful acreage is ready for your off-grid sustainable build. Underground utilities are also available at the cul-de-sac. Located in a well-planned, gated subdivision at the foot of the Ortiz Mountains, there is plenty of level area along with rolling hills dotted with Juniper and Cedar trees and horses are allowed.

Off the Scenic Turquoise Trail about 30 minutes to Santa Fe and close to the historic and artistic villages of Cerrillos and Madrid, offering restaurants, galleries, coffee shops and general stores. Along with the views of the vast New Mexico landscape, enjoy the peaceful and pastoral surroundings, starry night skies, and abundant wildlife that this unique site has to offer.
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 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.
