Cerros Colorados Subdivision

North and Northeast Santa Fe

In the north/northeast quadrant of Santa Fe, along the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, many new developments have been created for buyers of luxury homes.

• SIERRA DEL NORTE Sierra del Norte is located northeast of the Santa Fe Plaza about 4 miles off Hyde Park Road (the road to the Santa Fe Skin Basin).

Directions: From the plaza, go north on Washington Ave, right on Artist Rd/Hyde Park Rd. The entrance, not gated, is west off of Hyde Park Rd. There are other routes to this area (from Gonzales Rd off Hyde Park Rd, and also east from Bishop’s Lodge Road at Valley Drive).

This is a gradual, sloping mountainous subdivision with heavy pinon tree coverage. The lots are flat to semi-steep with about 200 homes, single and multi-story. Prices range from $1mil to $3mil+, 1-5 years old. Lot sizes range from 1+ acres, with paved roads. City water, sewer and cable/high speed.

The views are westerly (Jemez Mountain sunsets) from Sandia to Los Alamos (night lights) with some homes having limited city views. There are numerous hiking trails from the Dale Ball Trail on the east side of the subdivision and many other off Hyde Park Rd to the ski basin.

• CERROS COLORADOS This Santa Fe real estate subdivision is located northeast of the Santa Fe plaza approximately 3 miles.

Directions: From the plaza, take Washington Avenue north; right on Artist Rd (which becomes Hyde Park Rd); continue to the entrance on the east side of Hyde Park Road (the road to the Santa Fe Ski Basin).

This area is in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, with tall ponderosa pines and pinons. Views are primarily those of the surrounding mountains.

The subdivision will have about 115 homes when built out. Since it is a relatively new subdivision, most homes are new to 8 years old. Lot sizes are .5 – 2+ acres.
