Solitude and views abound on this twenty acre lot just south of Madrid, NM. Mountain vistas in every direction, including up close views of the Ortiz, and distant views of the Sanger de Cristos and Jemez. Roughed-in drive exists from Sendero de Toho, allowing buyers to drive into the property on day one. Varied topography with ample level space for building and a deep, dramatic arroyo. 3.3 miles from Highway 14, 6.6 miles from Madrid, and 25 miles south of Santa Fe. Owner may carry for a short term.
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.
