Properties on The Turquoise Trail
More About The Turquoise Trail
This area is perfect for raising horses on wide open spaces with fewer building restrictions than in the city of Santa Fe. It’s a favorite filming location for Westerns due to its authentic atmosphere. “Easy Rider," "Lonesome Dove," and “Silverado,” to name a few, were all filmed at the famous JW Eaves Movie Ranch. Homes range from rustic adobes and off-grid cabins to custom builds on acreage with expansive mountain views. Properties often emphasize privacy, character, and proximity to Santa Fe or Albuquerque while retaining a rural, creative atmosphere.
Cerrillos was once a bustling mining town famous for turquoise, lead, silver, and other minerals. The surrounding hills are dotted with old mine shafts, and turquoise from this region has been used for centuries by Indigenous peoples and later by Spanish settlers. A traditional New Mexico village of older adobes and quaint shops near the Rio Grande River, Cerrillos is home to artists, writers, and craftspeople who reside in the peaceful, rural landscape. The town has preserved its 19th-century feel with dirt streets, old storefronts, art studios, and simple adobe structures. Lots are sometimes rugged or irregular due to the town’s historic layout, but they offer expansive views, privacy, and a sense of place unlike anywhere else in the region. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy access to the nearby Cerrillos Hills State Park, riding stables, scenic drives, bird watching and clear night skies ideal for stargazing.
Nestled along the scenic Turquoise Trail, Madrid is one of New Mexico’s most distinctive and artistic small towns. Once a booming coal-mining settlement and later a near-ghost town, Madrid has transformed into a vibrant, free-spirited community known for its galleries, live music, quirky shops, and historic charm. Madrid feels other-worldly to visitors. Colorful storefronts line the main street, artists work out of converted miners’ cabins, and the town regularly hosts festivals, studio tours, and local music events. Its lively weekend scene attracts visitors while still preserving a relaxed, small-town authenticity. Homes here are early 20th century wooden structures painted a variety of colors. The John Travolta movie, "Wild Hogs" was filmed in Madrid, which is also a favorite filming location for Westerns due to its authentic atmosphere. Madrid’s character blends Bohemian creativity, Old West history, and a welcoming, close-knit feel.
