This residential compound on 7 1/2 acres off Highway 14 includes a unique adobe home, a spacious attached rental, a separate casita with its own meter, a generous toolshed/woodshed/storage building, and a handbuilt tower from which you can survey it all. The main home boasts natural American Clay plaster, vigas, traditional brick floors, arches and nichos--Southwestern style throughout. The setting, next to 100 acres of state land, is private and tranquil, with varying topography, healthy pinons, landscaping and gardens, a water feature, and gathering spaces including tree-shaded decks with views of the Ortiz Mountains. There is even an outdoor pizza oven! All this--only 20 minutes to Santa Fe.
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.
