HWY 14/Turquoise Trail Homes for Sale

Turquoise Trail homes for sale are along the Highway 14 corridor south of Santa Fe. NM 14, the Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway, runs from the south edge of the city through open rangeland and the old mining towns of Cerrillos and Madrid on its way toward Albuquerque. This page covers the HWY 14 and County Road 42 area closest to Santa Fe. Listings here include single-family homes and estates, equestrian properties and residential land, usually on larger lots with wide views. Current listings appear below.

Where the Corridor Is

The northern part of the corridor begins where NM 14 leaves Santa Fe near I-25 and NM 599. From there it heads south past the San Marcos and Lone Butte areas toward Cerrillos. County Road 42 runs east from NM 14 toward the Galisteo Basin. The land is mostly open grassland and pinon-juniper hills, with views of the Ortiz Mountains, the Sandias and the Sangre de Cristos. Cerrillos Hills State Park and the Galisteo Basin Preserve both have trails for hiking and riding.

Homes and Land

  • Rural single-family homes: Pueblo-style, territorial and contemporary homes on acreage. Many have detached garages, workshops or studios.
  • Equestrian properties: homes with barns, corrals and arenas on parcels zoned and sized for horses. Confirm county rules for the number of animals and any structures.
  • Estates: larger custom homes on bigger tracts, sometimes with guest quarters.
  • Land: homesites and acreage, from parcels in rural subdivisions to larger open tracts. Inventory here is small, so land makes up a good share of the listings at any time.

What Buyers Should Check

  • Water: almost every property relies on a private or shared domestic well, and some use cisterns or hauled water. Ask for well depth, yield and records, along with any shared-well agreement. Water availability in this part of the county varies, so verify it for the parcel itself.
  • Septic: ask for the New Mexico Environment Department septic permit and consider an inspection.
  • Roads: many homes are reached by private or county dirt roads. Confirm recorded legal access and any road maintenance agreement, and drive the road after a storm if you can.
  • Utilities and internet: confirm electric service, propane and internet options. Some parcels use solar or are off-grid.
  • Covenants and county code: rural subdivisions may have covenants. Building, land division and animal uses fall under Santa Fe County's land development code.

Schools and Commute

School district assignment varies across the corridor, so confirm it for the address. The north end of the Turquoise Trail is a quick drive to I-25, NM 599 and the south side of Santa Fe. Albuquerque is reachable either by I-25 or by the slower scenic drive down NM 14. Expect to drive for most errands.
