Gene Hackman’s Santa Fe Estate Hits the Market for $6.3 Million

Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa's 53-acre Santa Fe estate, completed in 1997 and offering views from the Jemez Mountains to Colorado, has been listed for about $6.3 million. The property includes a main residence, a guesthouse and studio totaling roughly 13,000 square feet with four bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, a fireside living room with glass walls, and multiple living spaces within the gated Santa Fe Summit community. Hackman and Arakawa lived there in the 1990s until their deaths in early 2025; brokers say the home's tragic history may deter some buyers but its features and setting remain the selling points.
