Nearly a hundred acres outside of Cerrillos, in two separate lots. The Galisteo Creek cuts across the northern lot, creating a lushly vegetated riparian area along the intermittent stream, with over 1000 feet of creek frontage. The property rises from the creek bed to elevated, rocky ridge tops with excellent views. 19 miles to the south side of Santa Fe; and near the entertainment and dining opportunities of Cerrillos and Madrid. Walking distance to Cerrillos. Property is difficult to find and surrounded by neighbors who value their privacy, please make an appointment to see.
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.
