65 acres of views, solitude and privacy, 45 minutes from the south side of Santa Fe, and a world away from everything. Beyond two locked gates and 3.5 miles down a ranch road, this lot is bordered on three sides by a large ranch holding, and is near Forest Service land. Lot features junipers, grasslands, and pinon, and a gentle topography that lends itself to multiple building sites. 360 degree views available from some spots, including up close views of the Ortiz Mountains, and the Sangre's and Santa Fe City lights across the valley. Nearby Madrid and Cerrillos provide dining and entertainment possibilities. Spend some time falling for this acreage today.
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.
