One Heart Ranch - Enjoy uncontaminated night skies and serene mountain views from this off-the-grid conventional home on 30 acres. Located in one of the last pristine areas near Santa Fe, where homes on larger parcels remain affordable, this solar community is located just South of the historic village of Madrid, about halfway between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Peaceful and pastoral, the area provides an environment for meditation, enjoyment of the Southwestern skies, and freedom of use. The main home is lovingly cared for and maintained, with tile floors, full bath including laundry area, open concept living/dining area with passive solar gain, and two bedrooms, one with loft area and plenty of storage. Horses are allowed. The offering includes two lots of record, one 20-acre parcel with the home and the adjoining vacant 10 acres to the West. The power is supplied with a top of the line solar photovoltaic system installed buy a local expert. There is 2500 gallon below ground water storage system connected to rain catchment and filter. A private well can be drilled on both lots if desired. The home has served as an international spiritual retreat with charming ramada and fire-pit circle as well as walking paths through the arroyo, all offering locations for gathering and meditation. The property is available "turn-key" to include all furnishings through a separate bill of sale, making this a ready-to-go second home or rental opportunity.
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.
