Looking for peace and quiet? Live off the grid in a straw bale home with all the amenities on 53 acres in the hills above Cerrillos. Quiet, private, secure living. Perfect as a weekend retreat or year-round living for artists, professionals, and those who just need some space. Vaulted ceilings, huge views and a loft create an enchanting environment. Fully solar-powered home with new battery bank in 2016, radiant floor heat, open concept kitchen and extra work space. Full bathroom, master bathroom, laundry room and an upstairs loft accessed by a spiral staircase. Durable pitched metal roof is connected to a rainwater catchment system with multiple cisterns. Detached insulated building with windows useful for storage or a studio. This is a great value - tons of land and off the grid living for a great price.
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.
Explore and then live on the Turquoise Trail, aka South Highway 14. This is the “back way” from Santa Fe to Albuquerque, and is a beautiful way to travel the less beaten path. Most lots come with acreage of at least an acre, and many with more. The wide open spaces have less building restrictions than you’ll find in the City of Santa Fe, and horses are generally welcome.
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.
