177 Camino Querencia , Cerrillos, NM 87010

Located near the increasingly popular Old West town of Cerrillos, and just 30 minutes from Santa Fe, this rare 354-acre property is unmatched in privacy and beauty. Views of the Cerrillos Hills and Ortiz Mountains are unobstructed and stunning from nearly anywhere on the acreage. It encompasses nearly three quarters of a mile of the seasonally-flowing Galisteo River and its cottonwood/olive/willow bosque (forest) and wildlife habitat. The 17-acre building envelope provides a secluded spot for one’s custom residence, equestrian estate, outbuildings/barn, private well, etc. The land includes significant rock formations, open grasslands, and pinon/juniper woodland, each with their own character. A tax-exempt conservation easement provides savings and protects the land and mineral rights in perpetuity. This land is a charmed world unto its own, with traces from centuries of inhabitants (ancient agricultural remnants; rock structure ruins; miner’s cabin and mines; more), varied terrain including the lush riverside ecology, dark skies for star viewing, room to roam, and pervading quietude.
