Step into the heart of Madrid's storied past with this rare 1895 miner's cabin--originally part of the town's first subdivision--now beautifully refreshed for modern living. Lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated, this unique property blends historic character with contemporary comfort, offering endless possibilities for full-time living, an artist's retreat, or a live/work opportunity thanks to its commercial zoning. Anchored on a full foundation, the home retains its original oak flooring, balanced with new waterproof vinyl flooring in the kitchen and bath for everyday ease. Modern enhancements include a fresh stucco exterior with coded wall insulation, cement siding with new paint, and a new forced-air furnace with A/C coil already in place--making the home ready for future central air. A brand-new septic tank, updated bathroom with engineered marble vanity and new fixtures, and insulated Pella wood/clad windows further enhance both function and charm. The 240 square foot basement offers excellent expansion potential, with plumbing already roughed in for a future bath--perfect for a guest suite, studio, or workspace. Outdoors, a private yard with irrigation and a 250-gallon propane tank supports easy living, while pretty views of the Ortiz Mountains and surrounding hills frame the home with New Mexico's signature beauty. Connected to Madrid's water system and just a short stroll from galleries, cafs, and live music, this property is a rare gem: historic, beautifully updated, and ready for its next chapter.
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.
