  1. Coop: You did it….you guessed it some time ago…NEW MEXICO!! I’m disappointed about the New England flare, but I can see the Pueblo adobe home being a beautiful change for the DH2010! San Pedro, settled principally by the Tefoya and Montoya families, was an old Spanish agricultural community along the Rio Grande!! It is my undertanding that San Pedro Overlook is located in an area that enjoys low humidity, four mild seasons, and over 300 days of sunshine per year. This calm weather allows for a wide range of year-round, outdoor activities.

    Thank you Jack for the GREAL REVEAL…we were all going crazy with anticipation, and I don’t think that cactus limb would hold out much longer…GREAT JOB COOP!!! :)

    • I live here

      Jamie Lynn Spears on January 7, 2010 at 2:25 pm
    • How much are the taxes for the new home. Remember we have Tax Lightening in New Mexico.where taxes are 3 times what they wouldnormally be. Would really like to know estimated or current tax rate. Many thanks. Sue B.

      Sue Brown on January 20, 2010 at 2:43 pm
  2. Disappointed, yeah…but I can root for Cape Cod next year!!! Coop – congrats on the good guess……and sticking to it. Are you sure you aren’t a Yankee??? :)

    Cathy Lemar on May 21, 2009 at 10:26 am
  3. Hey Coop – I have one request – please don’t hurt yourself while you are turning those cartwheels in celebration!

    For myself – I was really hoping for something in the great Southwest! I’m a fan of Arizona but New Mexico should be just as great! Way to go HGTV!!!

    • I don't know about me living here because i live south dakota and it would be sad to leave

      allysa on January 7, 2010 at 2:19 pm
  4. BTW….whose eye is #3 and what is HIS connection?

    Cathy Lemar on May 21, 2009 at 10:30 am
  5. Sun, golf, art, history, high speed rail, hot-aired balloons…the land of enchantment…I can’t stand it!! The San Pedro Vistat is breath-taking…and, 300 days of sunshine…I’m just not use to that!!! But, it’s a whole new paradise…what restaurant did I see Jack standing in front of…JOSEPH’S…is that located in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of the town of Taos and is that part of San Pablo? This truly is a geographic Mystic!!!! WOW! WOW!! :)

    Marie Miller on May 21, 2009 at 10:35 am
    • Yes, 300 days of sunshine and temperatures that reach 115-120 in the summer and 10 in the winter. And the nearest grocery store is 20 miles away. Need a doctor? Perhaps a helicopter should be purchased with that $500K bonus

      GLamp on January 13, 2010 at 10:07 pm
  6. Now this really is my idea of a Dream HOme. I’m sure that HGTV will really wow us again! If theirs is anything like this and I win – I will be moving in faster then you can say Jack Thomasson!!!!

  7. I guess it is time for me to put away the ingredients for Mint Juleps & pull out the blender & tequila and triple sec with lime and lemon juice…Margaritas anyone? Time to put away the bonnet & hoop skirt & pull out the sombrero!! It sure won’t take long to travel between San Pedro & Albuquerque on that high-speed rail…what fun!! I would also love to visit Santa Fe just for the Nirvana Spa (“a place or condition of sublime happiness or fulfillment”)!! I’ve read that it is one of Conde Nast Traveler’s “Hottest New Spas in the World,” Absolute Nirvana is also a “green” spa, featuring the highest quality sustainable products! I’m so ready after all this exhausting sluething!!

    Thank you HGTV for giving us a “whole new world” to look forward to!! :)

    Marie Miller on May 21, 2009 at 10:48 am
    • That high speed train is only a 30 minute dirt road jaunt away! Yup, no direct road to Albuquerque except a dirt road, otherwise you're looking at 50-60 miles one way! Way to go HGTV

      DRump on January 13, 2010 at 10:09 pm
  8. This is truly MY dream home. We live in New Mexico and love it. You could not have picked a better location! Thank you so much. This would be a dream come true.

    Being on the East coast ( Florida )— I was kind of hoping of a Closer Dream Home. But I know that HGTV cannot build a house to suit everyone’s needs and wants!!!!

  10. JACK…it is so, so, so good to see you!!!!!!! Love your shirt! So, New Mexico it is!

    Why, DBCoop…You are AWESOME! Great job! You win the HGTV DREAM HOME SUPER SLEUTH AWARD for 2010! Congratulations Amigo!

    Marie Miller…I am sorry about your New England flair not faring very well this year…maybe next year?!?! I believe you won the Award last year though, right?

    Cathy Lemar…maybe a Cape Cod home next year? We will all see :)

    In the meantime, I want to let all of ‘Gail’s Bloggers’ know that I have certainly enjoyed chatting with you all during this adventure. As I confessed before in this blog and in my SuperFan audition, I had been blog-stalking you guys for a number of years;) I knew you all but you didn’t know I was even out here. I am so glad I jumped on the limb this year and had my morning tea with y’all…okay, truth be told, I think I had some lunches, dinners, and Happy Hours (thanks to my new Long Island Iced Tea recipe from Marie) with you also :)

    To all of my Blogging Friends: You guys taught me so much about the history of different parts of our beautiful country and I, also, learned how to make these little smile faces :) along the way! Thanks Cathy Lemar!

    MARY…soooo fun! You have the BEST job in the world! I so enjoyed chuckling along with you. I was so chuckling at myself at times;))) I would have myself very convinced of a location and then…POW!…I would be so wrong five minutes later…hahaha…thanks for the entertainment!

    Thank you to all and I look forward to moving out west to New Mexico with you!

    Living the Dream!

    P.S. Marie, what’s your favorite Margarita recipe?!?!?

    Lynn Coggin on May 21, 2009 at 11:07 am
    • wow kids go on this to

      allysa on January 7, 2010 at 2:22 pm
  11. Well, now we Know!! THANKS MARY THANKS HGTV!!! From looking at this video— it looks Really Nice!!! From what I’ve seen on websites—- there are Bursting and Bubbling and Colorful cities there!!!

    Being that I live on the East coast (Florida), I was kind of hoping for a closer dream home— but I know that HGTV cannot meet everyone’s needs and wants

    Check these sites out— You will want to be in New Mexico—

  12. As always, HGTV does not cease to surprise us! The city brings about a sense of history, art, warmth, and relaxation. I can’t wait to see how the house turns out, but I am sure it will be so much fun.

    Stella on May 21, 2009 at 11:19 am
  13. Hello ! and thanks JackT to reveal the location of HGTV Dream Home 2010 now
    peopple will focuos more specific on the new Big Dream because HGTV mades peopple let go
    with their imagination like me. Good Bless all yours :)

    AlmaCasiano on May 21, 2009 at 11:20 am
  14. I’m sorry Coop, but I just have to say this: JACK HAS FLOWN THE COOP!!!!

    Lynn Coggin: First I might say that my most favorite Margarita is a LARGE Margarita!!

    But, given the site for the next HGTV Dream Home, I will have to give you this favorite Margarita:

    Albuquerque Style Margarita Recipe!!!

    1 lime, cut into wedges
    Coarse or kosher salt
    1 (6 ounce) can frozen lime concentrate
    3/4 cup tequila
    6 tablespoons Triple Sec
    1 (12 ounce) can lemon-lime or grapefruit soda
    3 to 4 cup ice cubes
    Lime twist for garnish
    Lime peel for garnish

    Rub rim of each cocktail glass with lime wedge; swirl glass in salt to coat rim. Combine half of each of the remaining ingredients, except garnishes, in blender container; blend until ice is finely chopped and mixture is slushy. Pour into salt-rimmed glasses. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Garnish, if desired.

    There you go….in all its Southwestern glory!!! :)

    Marie Miller on May 21, 2009 at 11:22 am
  15. Thanks Jack and Mary for the big reveal!

    Congratulations Coop! That cactus limb served you well, in spite of any splinters you may have received. Can’t wait to see the floor plans of a home you would choose for this area.

    To all the bloggers,

    Your sleuthing skills are excellent. I’ve learned more from you than I probably learned in school–almost. Maybe because this was fun! You are one fun group of people!

    Since I visit Albuquerque and Sante Fe every year, I’ll be able to check out the Dream Home. Unfortunately, it won’t be open for tours when I’m there. Oh well, maybe next year.

    Have a great day everyone!

  16. ¡Ay chihuahua—por fin…Nuevo Mexico! Estoy tan feliz, no puedes imaginar. Como me encanta los ciudades de Santa Fe y Taos, y ahora, puedo llegar a conocer el pueblo de Sandia Parque, y la bella communidad de San Pedro Overlook.

    Muchas gracias a nuestra amiga, MARY, con quien tuvimos una aventura a veces dificil, pero siempre con alegria. Aunque es un poco temprano para celebrar con una Tequila Sunrise, pueden estar seguro que voy a estar celebrando mas tarde. Salud a todos mis amigas y amigos, con quienes tuve una gran fiesta de blogging, y ojala que vamos a continuar en el futuro, hasto que llego a ganar el gran premio, el 2010 Casa de Sueños.

    Instantaneous translation: Holy chihuahua—finally…New Mexico! I’m so happy, you can’t imagine. How I enjoy the cities of Santa Fe and Taos, and now, I can start to get to know the town of Sandia Park, and the beautiful community of San Pedro Overlook.

    Many thanks to our friend, MARY, with whom we had an adventure at times difficult (trying), but always fun. Although it’s a little early to celebrate with a Tequila Sunrise, y’all can be sure that I am going to be celebrating later. Hello to all my friends, with whom I had a great time blogging, and I hope that we will continue in the future, until I end up winning the grand prize, the 2010 Dream Home.

    Now I’ve got to get busy—I barely know anything about the East Mountain communities, and I’m certainly looking forward to the learning process—even more so to the unfolding of the Dream Home process, from house plans all the way to the final reveal, and then on to the finish line!

    Ah yes, The Land of Enchantment. Good work Jack Thomasson, and happy trails to us all!

    DBCoop on May 21, 2009 at 11:54 am
  17. Lo hiciste! Usted resolverse con tu ingenio! Gracias por mantenernos en el camino! A lo largo de usted sabía que era la idea de aloe vera … buen trabajo Coop! :)

    Marie Miller on May 21, 2009 at 12:06 pm
  18. MARY= I forgot to add, THANKS for all of the FUN!!!! It really has been a lot of fun and suspenseful!!!! I have Learned a Lot, especially from CATHY LEMAR, and I learned a great deal myself (with all of the blogging that I did)!!!

    Now I can see—- the Color ORANGE— The Terrain, Mountains, Desert SAND all blend and look like the color Orange

    And the Flower—- it must have been the YUCCA all along

    When I think about it, TEE PEE was such an Obvious clue– and the First Picture Gallery— it all ties in

    So—- I think, MARY, it was a Fair Game

    Diana on May 21, 2009 at 12:15 pm
  19. Nice! Thank Goodness, the HGTV Dream Home 2010 will be different! Great choice Jack! I know how hard it is for you to choose as we discussed before. Enjoy it!

    njgal on May 21, 2009 at 12:47 pm
  20. No disappointment here. That poor cactus is going to come crashing down with everyone climbing on it. Now why did “Mean Mary” keep misdirecting us? :) Tequila Sunrises sound great. Can’t wait to see the design they are going to put in New Mexico. Plenty of people have picked out some excellent Hacienda Designs for you Jack.

    Ed in Oregon on May 21, 2009 at 1:33 pm
  21. Finally, I have been saying “have a DH in New Mexico” near Santa Fe, for years. Now, I may even enter. Thank you Jack!! LOL Bill

    etexbill on May 21, 2009 at 1:50 pm
  22. I am excited about this location! The home will be both unique and beautiful. New Mexico is the perfect location.

    W. on May 21, 2009 at 1:53 pm
    • HOW DO I ENTER TO WIN?

      MARGARET on January 22, 2010 at 9:19 pm
  23. Finally, now all the clues make sense…DBCoop stayed on the cactus limb, I’m glad it’s New Mexico, I can visit the Dream Home, just a day trip from Phoenix ;)
    My Dad sent me a funny story about New Mexico last week…hope it’s o.k. to post
    If20you can read this whole story without laughing, then there’s no hope
    for you. I was crying by the end. Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the
    first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better.

    For those of you who have lived in New Mexico , you know how true this
    is.. They actually have a Chile Cook-off about the time Halloween comes
    around.. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the Santa Fe
    Plaza Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chile taster named Frank, who was
    visiting from Springfield , IL

    Frank: “Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chile
    cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I
    happened to be standing there at the judge’s table, asking for
    directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was
    assured by the other two judges (Native New Mexicans) that the chili
    wouldn’t be all that spicy; and, besides, they told me I could have free
    beer during the tasting, so I accepted and became Judge 3.”

    Here are the scorecard notes from the event:

    CHILE # 1 – MIKE’S MANIAC MONSTER CHILE

    Judge # 1 — A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
    Judge # 2 — Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild..
    Judge # 3 (Frank) — Holy crap, what the hell is this stuff? You could
    remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the
    flames out. I hope that’s the=2 0worst one. These New Mexicans are crazy.

    CHILE # 2 – EL RANCHO’S AFTERBURNER CHILE

    Judge # 1 — Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
    Judge # 2 — Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken
    seriously.
    Judge # 3 — Keep this out of the reach of children. I’m not sure what
    I’m supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who
    wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer
    when they saw the look on my face.

    CHILE # 3 – ALFREDO’S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILE

    Judge # 1 — Excellent firehouse chile. Great kick.
    Judge # 2 — A bit salty, good use of peppers.
    Judge # 3 — Call the EPA. I’ve located a uranium spill. My nose feels
    like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now.
    Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my

    backbone is in the front part of my chest. I’m getting sh*t-faced from
    all of the beer.

    CHILI # 4 – BUBBA’S BLACK MAGIC

    Judge # 1 — Black bean chile with almost no spice. Disappointing.
    Judge # 2 — Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or
    other mild foods, not much of a chile.
    Judge # 3 — I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable
    to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer
    maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. This 300 lb. woman is
    starting to look HOT . just like this nuclear waste I’m eating! Is
    chile an aphrodisiac?

    CHILE # 5 – LISA’S LEGAL LIP REMOVER

    Judge # 1 — Meaty, strong chile. Jalapeno peppers freshly ground,
    adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
    Judge # 2 — Chile using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must
    admit the jalapeno peppers make a strong statement.
    Judge # 3 — My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I
    can no longer focus my eyes. I farted, and four people behind me needed
    paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her
    chile had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by
    pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher .. I wonder if I’m burning
    my lips off. It really ticks me off that the other judges asked me to
    stop screaming. Screw them.

    CHILE # 6 – VARGA’S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY

    Judge # 1 — Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chile. Good balance of
    spices and peppers.
    Judge # 2 — The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, garlic.
    Superb.
    Judge # 3 — My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous,
    sulfuric flames. I crapped on myself when I farted, and I’m worried it
    will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me
    except that Sally. Can’t feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my butt
    with a snow cone.

    CHILE # 7 – SUSAN’S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI

    Judge # 1 — A mediocre chile with to o much reliance on canned peppers.
    Judge # 2 — Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of
    chile peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am worried
    about judge number #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is
    cursing uncontrollably.
    Judge # 3 — You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I
    wouldn’t feel a thing. I’ve lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds
    like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chile, which
    slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my
    shirt. At least during the autopsy, they’ll know what killed me. I’ve
    decided to stop breathing.. It’s too painful. Screw it; I’m not getting
    any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I’ll just suck it in through the
    4-inch hole in my stomach.

    CHILE # 8 – BIG TOM’S TOENAIL CURLING CHILE

    Judge # 1 — The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chile. Not too
    bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
    Judge # 2 — This final entry is a good, balanced chile. Neither mild
    nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted,
    passed out, fell over and pulled the chile pot down on top of himself.
    Not sure if he’s going to make it. Poor feller, wonder how he’d have
    reacted to really hot chile?
    Judge # 3 – No Report

    sagg99/sheilagg1 on May 21, 2009 at 1:55 pm
  24. YAY! I love this area! It is truly one of the most beautiful places in the country. I cant wait to see what you guys do. Hopefully it won’t be too kitschy, there are only so many cow skulls and Navajo rugs one can handle! Great pick!!!

    Carmen on May 21, 2009 at 1:57 pm
  25. I wish we had an explanation for al lthe clues. the #. Ravioli? I am happy. My hubby is from Arizona and so we would just be a state away from his family! I have spent three summers there and love the warm weather. No water though.

    JessiRose on May 21, 2009 at 1:58 pm
  26. JESSIROSE= This is what I found—- Good Luck in the Drawing— this would be nice for you (don’t live too far away).

    Good Luck with your babies too— I hope that Camille gets better– Hang in There and Keep the Faith.

    Between 1890 and 1900, over six hundred thousand Italians came to the United States .Italian immigrants did not truly start arriving in the state until 1880.( The Jesuit priests formed a bridge between the Spanish population and the newly arriving European immigrants.) Later Italian immigrants maintained this role in New Mexico.

    Census data from 1910 shows 1,959 foreign-born Italians living in New Mexico. Italian newspapers and tight knit Italian communities kept the language intact. Albuquerque’s The Club Culturale Italiano used to run meetings in both Italian and English

    There is an Annual ITALIAN FILM FESTIVAL there too

  27. Oooohhhh, What a relief of trying to guess.
    I really don’t know what this place has to do with words: Caesar or Black Bear, even big Lake and pictures with bunch and trees? Nothing. Why Mary kept misleading us?
    Glad now that guessing is over. I got no sense of water anywhere in that place. So dry. I HOPE NEW PLACE WOULD HAVE HUGE SWIMMING POOL. I AM GLAD THAT HOUSE WILL BE IN MODERN STILE. That is great and I like a railroad idea.

    vesna on May 21, 2009 at 2:24 pm
  28. Wow! the house will be built on 3 acres, that will be great, you can camp in your own backyard…is anyone familiar with this area? is there a lake, or river close by?

    sagg99/sheilagg1 on May 21, 2009 at 2:28 pm
  29. sagg99/sheilagg1,

    Loved your chile cook-off report. It is hysterical and absolutely true about New Mexico chili peppers. They are hot, hot, hot!!!

    I grew up eating hot food, but New Mexico chili peppers are different from anything I’ve ever tasted!!! They burned my lips and tongue. Ice water does nothing to stop the burn.

    My god-daughter lived in New Mexico for a while and acquired a taste for their chili peppers. Have you ever tasted chili pepper ice-cream? An oxymoron if’ve I’ve ever seen one.

    New Mexicans love their chili peppers. They even use them for decoration. Believe me it’s nothing like Texas chili peppers or any other chili peppers I’ve tasted….

    Well, maybe Bahamian chili peppers could compete with them. The first time I tasted their conch salad, I gasped for breath because of chili peppers. Once I recovered, I loved conch salad.

    Welcome to New Mexico, 2010 dream team! Please taste the chili peppers.

    Lessie on May 21, 2009 at 2:43 pm
  30. I meant bench – not bunch – next to trees on a carpet of green grass.

    vesna on May 21, 2009 at 2:50 pm
  31. Is this considered “contemporary pueblo” style? I think this is a beautiful style

  32. I had a blast with all of you and will enjoy continued blogging with you! This was my first time blogging here and I learned so much about all of you and about the history of this country. I can’t wait for the next mystery. Hasta luego…..

    Cathy Lemar on May 21, 2009 at 3:03 pm
  33. CATHY LEMAR= I learned so much from you, and please stay on the blog!!!! You brought back good memories of the great fun that I had one weekend in Boston and New Hampshire!!!

    We’ll have to Look Forward to the Dream Home of 2011—- time flies quick. (Before you know it, Christmas will be here) In the meantime, maybe start looking for good sites and locations and suggestions—-

    I will be doing my own “scavenger hunt” in Naples, Sanibel, Clearwater and Tampa. Ya never know!!!!

    Diana B

    Diana on May 21, 2009 at 3:12 pm
  34. I can’t believe it…. I guessed the right state…. My husband and I married in Santa Fe… I am guessing it will be a pueblo style ranch with all that space.. and the colors will be inspired by the mountains, various vegetation (including the cactus) and the beautiful sunsets. This is going to be fun… Can’t wait to learn more!!!

    Renee loves Green on May 21, 2009 at 3:14 pm
  35. So, is it All Sun, or some Sun and Snow??? SAGG99, very nice link— but I see snow skiing. I thought New Mexico was Hot all year round?

    I don’t think that I’ll try the Chili Peppers— I have a hard time with some guacamole, sometimes, in some restaurants!!

    Diana B.

    Diana on May 21, 2009 at 3:22 pm
  36. Lynn: I cannot find you Super Fan video…..what is the title?

    Cathy Lemar on May 21, 2009 at 3:35 pm
  37. I found you!!! Now I REALLY feel like I know you!! Good luck in your Super Fan quest!! Great video….

    Cathy Lemar on May 21, 2009 at 3:41 pm
  38. I’m so excited that HGTV’s decided that their next DH will be in New Mexico! Wow! Beautiful weather, wonderful art district, and so many wonderful things to do and see! I’m crossing my fingers that my family wins! Good luck to everyone who enters!

    Jessica on May 21, 2009 at 3:47 pm
  39. Cathy Lemar…Oh, my gosh! Thank you so much! That was so sweet of you! I already feel as though I know you and the other bloggers…isn’t it crazy how much you can learn about someone by blogging with them (or even just reading their blogs in the comforts of your home? Good times for sure!

    sagg99…too funny! I loved your chili story…I could visualize it so easily…I think I may know Frank;)

    Renee…you sure did…you guessed it…I was kinda clueless I guess?!?!?!

    Diana…I may try the chili, but not without my Tums right next to me :)

    Marie Miller…I am pretty darn sure I will not wait to get to New Mexico…I will be trying that Margarita recipe sometime this Memorial Day weekend, I’m sure of it! Thank you so much!

    Living the Dream!

  40. Here’s a link I posted on 7 May, which looks and sounds delicious. Taos will definitely be on my agenda before the year’s out (I haven’t even gotten around to putting my Callaway Gardens photos on CD yet!) http://www.fabulousfoods.com/recipes/article/20/19294

    I think we gave Jack lots of ideas and places to check out in Virginia for upcoming Dream Home locations. Be sure it comes with plenty of those Dogwood trees, and of course, a riverside or lake view would be nice.

    One thing I know for sure, after a few Margaritas, you don’t even notice those cactus needles…

    Okay, must be siesta time ’bout now. Hasta la vista, damas y caballeros.

  45. CATHY= When we were blogging on the Sonoma blogs— someone set up, I think, a Facebook account—- Marie Miller’s picture was on there– they were suppost to post a pic of the other ” SISBP” group— but don’t think they ever did.

    But where is Lynn Coggin’s video???– that would be such a fun job— Be back later, later tonight

    Her video is called “Living the Dream” and there is a large clock in the background.

  48. I am rather disappointed. New mexico just seems dry and boring to me. I am sure that if I went there I would be proven wrong, but that is how it seems. I was hoping for a lake-front plantation (or log cabin) with mountain views in Massachusettes or Virginia.
