Nestled on 15 gently south-sloping acres north of the Galisteo River in Cerrillos, this private off-grid sanctuary combines established self-sufficiency with sweeping, unobstructed views of Cerro Pelon and the Ortiz Mountains. Located less than 30 minutes from Santa Fe, the property directly borders 535 acres of conservancy land and pueblo ruins, with expansive BLM land stretching beyond. Designed around permaculture principles, the property features a 707 sq ft all-season yurt as the main living space, complemented by a 450 sq ft partially finished guest house. Ideal for creators, makers, or homesteaders, the grounds include an 800 sq ft metal studio/workshop, a greenhouse, and multiple functional outbuildings. Water security and infrastructure are well-established, featuring a private well alongside several onsite water cisterns. The property is reached via an improved gravel driveway, leading to ample parking options, including a dedicated RV parking pad. Peaceful, quiet, and deeply connected to the high-desert landscape, this unique homestead offers a thoughtful foundation for sustainable, independent living. Avion RV may be available as a separate negotiation.
The purpose of the Rural RUR district is to designate areas suitable for a combination of agricultural, equestrian, residential and other compatible uses.
