A rare opportunity to own nearly 2 acres in the Historic Madrid Village comprised of two legal lots with one-bedroom house, casita and workshop/studio and served by a well. One lot is developed with a thoughtful home including Pella windows, laundry facilities, warm wood flooring and a large backyard with deck that is fully fenced. The yard sits along a meandering arroyo looking South to the Ortiz Mountains and is adorned with a piece of history: the face of Christ is the Light of the World, a 33-foot painting installed by Santa Fe Artist Pierre Menager in 1939 as part of the Madrid Christmas light celebration. This annual tradition is continued today and is said to have inspired Walt Disney to create Disneyland. The main home is designed to double as recording studio and has special acoustic and wiring features. There is a darling casita with bath and a solid workshop with power that would make a fine studio. The property is cradled by the Madrid hills where David Bowie once was The Man Who Fell to Earth. Buffered by the hills and arroyo with bits of metal sculptures created from pieces from the old mining days, the property is close to the restaurants, coffee house, General Store, and galleries that make up this artistic village now with its own radio station. There is County Open Space also near the home. The location is an easy commute to both Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
