Forty off-grid acres on the slopes of Cedar Mountain, with road access and an existing well. Spectacular views back towards Santa Fe and to the Jemez from this mountainside lot. Gentle slopes and varied topography allow for a number of possible building areas. Previous owners made a rough start towards a homestead on this property, with an unfinished 12'x16' micro camping cabin in need of completion, and building materials and gardening supplies on the lot. It's rare to see an off-grid parcel in this area with an existing well, this is a substantial value. Roughly 20 miles from Santa Fe, and near the dining and entertainment opportunities of Madrid and Cerrillos. 2.4 miles from the pavement. Adjacent 2900 sq. ft. home and 28 acres for sale, combine for even more space and options. (See MLS #202400867)
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.
