Gene Hackman Lists New Mexico Estate for $6.3 Million

Gene Hackman’s former New Mexico estate is now on the market for $6.3 million. This sprawling property, previously shared with his late wife, Betsy Arakawa, showcases impressive views ranging from the Jemez Mountains to Colorado.

Property Overview

The estate spans over 53 acres in the exclusive Santa Fe Summit development. The sale is represented by Tara S. Earley and Ricky Allen of Sotheby’s International Realty.

Home Features

This impressive residence covers around 13,000 square feet. It includes:

• Main house
• Guesthouse
• Studio
• Four bedrooms
• Seven full bathrooms
• Three powder rooms

The main house features a blend of architectural styles, including pueblo, colonial, and Spanish Baroque. It was redesigned in the 1990s from a 1950s house, with input from builder Doug McDowell and architects Harry Daple and Stephen Samuelson of Studio Arquitectura.

Interior Highlights

Interior spaces include:

• A spacious living area with floor-to-ceiling glass windows
• A sunken dining room
• A study with a coffered ceiling
• A kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a butler’s pantry
• A primary suite with dual closets and baths

The lower level features a gym, game room, and media area. The guesthouse is equipped with its own kitchen and living area, while the studio space can be used for various purposes.

Outdoor Amenities

The property’s outdoor features are equally impressive:

• A swimming pool
• A hot tub
• A putting green
• Garaging for up to six vehicles

Market Considerations

Hackman and Arakawa were found deceased in their home last February. Arakawa, 65, succumbed to a respiratory illness linked to hantavirus, while Hackman, who was struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, passed away shortly after.

Listing agents acknowledged the property’s history may affect buyer interest. They aim to highlight the estate’s positive attributes despite its tragic past. “We are selling the property on its virtues,” stated Earley.
