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 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.
