Step into the heart of Madrid’s storied past with this rare 1895 miner’s cabin—originally part of the town’s first subdivision—now beautifully refreshed for modern living. Lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated, this unique property blends historic character with contemporary comfort, offering endless possibilities for full-time living, an artist’s retreat, or a live/work opportunity thanks to its commercial zoning. Anchored on a full foundation, the home retains its original oak flooring, balanced with new waterproof vinyl flooring in the kitchen and bath for everyday ease. Modern enhancements include a fresh stucco exterior with coded wall insulation, cement siding with new paint, and a new forced-air furnace with A/C coil already in place—making the home ready for future central air. A brand-new septic tank, updated bathroom with engineered marble vanity and new fixtures, and insulated Pella wood/clad windows further enhance both function and charm. The 240± square foot basement offers excellent expansion potential, with plumbing already roughed in for a future bath—perfect for a guest suite, studio, or workspace. Outdoors, a private yard with irrigation and a 250-gallon propane tank supports easy living, while pretty views of the Ortiz Mountains and surrounding hills frame the home with New Mexico’s signature beauty. Connected to Madrid’s water system and just a short stroll from galleries, cafés, and live music, this property is a rare gem: historic, beautifully updated, and ready for its next chapter.
