About This Property

Hidden in the East Mountains is a remarkable New Mexico retreat where history, nature and extraordinary privacy come together. Expansive mountain views, open meadows, towering pines, a natural spring and abundant wildlife create a setting that feels worlds away, yet Albuquerque is approximately 15 miles west. The extensively renovated residence features a rebuilt kitchen, updated baths, refreshed living spaces, expansive outdoor areas and a new well system supported by battery solar. Longtime home of renowned UNM biologist Dr. William 'Bill' Degenhardt, the property was also a gathering place for an extraordinary circle of New Mexicans, including celebrated author Tony Hillerman. This is more than a home--it is a piece of New Mexico's story waiting for its next chapter. Property Tour: Sept. 8, 12 PM. Offers Due: Sept. 11. Best & Final: Sept. 14. Closing Deadline: Oct. 15.
