10 Rail Road, Cerrillos, NM

About 10 Rail Road

10 Rail Road/45 Main Street is up for sale. This historically rich property sits on the site that was home to the first telegraph and printing office that connected early residents of Los Cerrillos with the rest of the world. Predating Columbus, the area has been the source of the turquoise that traded as far north as modern day Canada, and south, deep into Central America. Later discoveries of gold, silver, coal, and other precious minerals brought in miners by the thousands. A short drive from Santa Fe on the Turquoise Trail, the residence at 10 Rail Road is a gleaming facet of this lustrous history. Sure to delight those with a taste for adventure, the property also includes an undeveloped address abutting Main Street- ready for a savvy buyer to create something special. Lovingly renewed by skilled area craftsmen, and in keeping with the neighborhood flavor, noteworthy emphasis has been placed in the use of original and reclaimed materials while delivering the overdue updates and renovation that leaves the home ready to fulfill the needs of the modern era. Includes modern electrical from top to bottom and plumbing from the meter to the fixtures, a Jotul wood stove and 3 unit GE minisplit system, and nice pitched metal roofing to shed our summer monsoons with ease. The layout is conducive to living and working, with the kitchen, bathroom, dining, living room, and two bedrooms downstairs. Upstairs holds the third bedroom/flex room with french doors opening to a deck overlooking the historic railroad that helped shape the region. The Amtrack passenger train still runs twice a day, and the view out to the Cerillos Hills State Park is breathtaking. The back lot, with its own county address, is ample, large enough to split off for separate development or to add complementary structures to the existing property. Studio? Workshop? Garages? Gardens? Gallery? With your vision, this property will continue to flourish.
