Fix 'em up!--project opportunity in Madrid on nice view lot. Recent price improvement, too. Two homes, two addresses---2 Grasshopper and 29 Backroad, both one of a kind, Madrid-style structures, of stone, wood, and metal siding, both with striking views of hillsides, mountains and town. The much-loved home and semi- industrial metal building --the "warehouse/apartment" will make great projects! You can live in one while you fix up or rent the other as the past owner did, or use as your workshop, home business, storage, garage, etc. On a treed, spacious lot with landscaped terraces and a rocky little arroyo, there's room to park and relax in the yard. Elements of Madrid's old mining days abound: beams from the old Madrid mine building and "found objects" incorporated into the facade. The County Assessor estimates the stone/wood house at 1112 sq ft and the warehouse/apartment at approx. 784 sq ft. Conventional electric, Madrid water membership. Nearby to everything Madrid including the tavern, dispensary, restaurants and galleries, trails, ballpark, and more.
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.
