87 Quartz Trail

Nestled among the quiet hills of Cañada de los Alamos, this tranquil 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat sits atop 5 private acres overlooking a sweeping green valley of ponderosa pines and juniper, with Cerros Negros rising softly in the distance. Positioned to take in both light and long views, the 1,138-square-foot home opens with a charming living room centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace -- the heart of the space. Step down into the sun-drenched bonus room, an inviting space perfect for morning coffee, an afternoon read, or a peaceful work-from-home hideaway. Thoughtful storage is found throughout, including a usable attic extending the full length of the home, and a standalone shed. The pitched roof features a solar hot water panel that helps support energy-efficient water heating. Outside, the property is defined by quiet and natural beauty -- the soft wind moving through the forest, wildlife passing by, and clear night skies stretching overhead. Though wonderfully secluded, the home sits just about 25 minutes from the Plaza, offering a rare balance of mountain-retreat living with convenient access to Santa Fe’s amenities and nearby National Forest trails. A calming high-desert getaway with space, privacy, and possibility—ready for its next owner to make it their own.
