Sweet, original miner's cabin with detached studio in the historic village of Madrid, just South of Santa Fe. In a peaceful location next to the community garden and greenbelt, this home has updated bath, some of the original hardwood flooring, and includes a 12 x 16 detached studio with electric for many versatile uses. With mature trees shading the front deck, the location is private yet just off Madrid Main Street, within easy walking access to the restaurants, galleries and general store of this artistic and lively village. Near hiking paths leading to the Madrid Ballpark and 40-acre County Open Space. Room to expand and all level land of about .15 acre. A rare opportunity in this price point. Great starter home. One small step from the bedroom to the large bath. Property is being sold "as-is" in its current condition.
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.
