Eighty glorious acres three miles south of Madrid off the Turquoise Trail. The views are stupendous, of the surrounding hills and the view of the valley to the west. The land is hilly but there is a plethora of building sites with views. There is a good dirt road up to the top of the first 40-acre parcel. There is no graded road beyond that. A shipping container is located on the lower 40 acres on a large mostly level spot that would be a great place to build. There are no utilities in place, and no electric in the area. It's a great place to live off grid in the splendor of solitude!
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.
