This 20 acre parcel features grassland, gently sloping terrain with pinons/junipers, interesting small rock formations, and a varied choice of building sites. There are inspiring views of the Ortiz Mountains, Turquoise Hills, and surrounding landscapes. No HOA. The area is home to people who enjoy their privacy and self-sufficiency, and a bit of community too. The natural beauty of the land is remarkable. There are large tracts of federal land nearby. It's only a 4 mile (and amazingly scenic) drive West off Highway 14 to the land, and less than an hour to either Santa Fe or Albuquerque.
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.
