The Turquoise Trail Sanctuary Featured in New Mexico Magazine

In 2017, New Mexico Magazine profiled the transformation of what is now The Turquoise Trail Sanctuary. Writer Andrew Roush explores how Heidi Steele and David Campbell reimagined a historic Cerrillos property into a collection of restored adobe buildings that balance old and new, creating a place where architecture, gardens, and everyday life come together.
The article highlights the property's unique history, thoughtful restoration, and the philosophy behind its design—a quiet retreat rooted in New Mexico's traditions while embracing modern comfort.
"To me, the sweetest spot is the intersection of old and new, where things come together."
