This land is well suited for one or two residences, equestrian facilities or a quiet retreat, all set against a commanding 360° view of the Ortiz mountains, the Jemez and the Sangre De Cristos Mountains. Despite its sense of seclusion, the property is only 16.4 miles from the Santa Fe Plaza and 5.5 miles from Cerrillos; and ideal balance of solitude and accessibility. Owning land in the Cerrillos Hills places you at the heart of one of New Mexico's most storied cultural landscapes. This is the place where more than 1000 years of human history are still written into the hillsides. The land is not just scenic acreage; It is part of a nationally recognized historic corridor that shaped trade, culture, and settlement across the Santa Fe and the southwest. The properties off-grid nature contribute to its quiet, undeveloped character. There remain three abandoned silver and turquoise mines, all sealed with the approval of the Federal Government. They remain as silent witnesses to the area's long mining history This property offers a compelling opportunity for those seeking usable land with genuine personality; an open and expansive retreat where the past is still visible in the hillsides; an enduring legacy.
