"The contemporary-meets-adobe-style residence features floor-to-ceiling glass, exposed beams, and native stone. A cozy library, where the Oscar winner liked to watch movies, is lined with built-in bookshelves, with a wall of glass opening out onto a balcony and a coffered ceiling lined with mismatched squares of patterned fabric, to aid in soundproofing the space. Other highlights include a step-down living room with a fireplace and expansive window views, a massive eat-in kitchen, and a window-lined dining room with an additional fireplace and outdoor access."
"Given the dwelling's morbid background, listing agents Tara S. Earley and Ricky Allen of Sotheby's International Realty priced the property in accordance to regular market value, instead of applying the markup that often comes attached to a celebrity pedigreed dwelling. "There will be some buyers that are just adverse to purchasing a property where a death has occurred," Earley told Mansion Global. "There are other buyers for whom that doesn't matter. We are selling the property on its virtues and all of the positives.""
A Santa Fe, New Mexico estate on 53 acres is listed for $6.25 million. The compound sits within a private, double-gated community called the Summit and includes a 13,000-square-foot main residence built in 1997 with six bedrooms total and a three-bedroom guesthouse. The contemporary-meets-adobe home presents floor-to-ceiling glass, exposed beams, native stone, a library with built-in bookshelves and a coffered, soundproofed ceiling, a step-down living room, a large eat-in kitchen, and a window-lined dining room. An artist studio, putting green, pagoda-covered hot tub, and small pool are on the grounds. Gene Hackman died of heart disease and Betsy Arakawa died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Listing agents priced the property at regular market value rather than applying a celebrity markup.
