Your Last Chance to Enter
Good day, bloggers.
I can’t believe how fast the last few weeks have flown! The giveaway entry period is almost over — 5 p.m. on Friday, to be exact. What will you do to pass the time until the winner is announced?
Perhaps you will take a trip to fabulous Santa Fe. If so, please go to Cafe Pasqual’s and order the Huevos Motulenos, one of the best egg dishes I’ve ever eaten. The ingredient list – sautéed bananas, feta cheese, green peas, black beans, two eggs over easy and red or green sauce – may seem odd, but trust me, you will devour it. Mmmm … delicious!
Invite Friends to Enter the HGTV Dream Home 2010 Giveaway
Your Super Fan,

GREAT HOME THANK YOU HGTV FOR MY DREAM!!!!!!!!!!
I have to sell our home..This would be a lovely replacement.
HGTV Family is very professional.I wish I have money so they can upgrade my house.I live here in Peyton Colorado,you don't trust nobody to do anything to your house.Did hire somebody long time ago to do my porch,and it was water on the roof everywhere,and never finish it.I don't trust nobody.My husband and I will try to figure it out what to do to fix it.I watch TV all the time about HGTV , and try to see what we can do for my porch,and deck.All the Houses that HGTV fixed are so beautiful.
I guess it's that time again to see who the lucky winner is. Good luck to everyone who entered.

I I LIVED IN NEW MEXICO AS A YOUNG GIRL THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE WAKING UP TO A BREATHTAKING SUNSET. LOOKING AT SHIPROCK . AND OTHER BLUFFS. LEARNING ALOT ABOUT THE NATIVE INDIANS AND HISPANICS AS WELL . LEARNING THERE CULTURE. IVE BEEN TO OTHER WONERS AS WELL IN NEW MEXICO SUCH AS CARLSBAD CAVERNS. UNBELIEVABLE! NOW I SEE WHY THEY CALL IT LAND OF ENCHANTMENT . I LEFT PART OF MY SOUL THERE'
Hello every one and good luck from a Texas gal. I enjoy looking at this dream home every day. I even have my two teenage boys excited about the chance of winning. My oldest is 21 and said he gets the Toy Story room and the other wants the casita. Nothing wrong with dreaming. Counting down the days and hoping my dreams come true.
Well I did enter the last day and tried to everyday. I will be waiting for the winner and I am going to be doing the same thing with my family . We are so excited and I can't figure it out why we are ? I know why we LOVE this home if I were to build a home I would want all of these features. It has all of the security a single mother with daughters would need . I like the private location I wish I could afford to live in a private community that offers all that SanPedro Overlook offers. This would truly be my dream come true . I could start watching for ufo's and take lots of pictures. There is so much I would be able to do around NM it sounds like an exciting place.
Like everyone else, I am waiting to see if someone comes to my door or at my place of employment. I work night shift on both dates, on March 2 and March 15. I would be so excited if they came to my job. I guess by now everyone is dreaming of what they will be doing or how exciting they will be. Truely HGTV has coined it right by saying "Dream Home". This does make you enjoy the dream. Just trying to keep busy until the great reveal, cleaning out closets, doing crafts, eating, etc……. ha! The days are creeping by now, when entering the contest they went by fast. I guess it is the anticipation. Stay busy and keep on dreaming all fellow bloggers, soon someone will be very excited!!!!!! and blessed. Peggy
This is my dream home
!!!!!!! I love everything about this house place , weather , activities , color I love EVERYTHING ….. is just perfect for me and my family . I have all my hope to win this home , this is gonna be my New star of happines !!!! Pleaseeeeeee let me win 
Thank you HGTV
Keep Hope Alive! I love this house, I love New Mexico and I hope more than anything I will be living the dream! Star light, star bright (there are many in the New Mexico sky) first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might win the HGTV dream house on March 14th. A great birthday present!.
i'm sure our chances are low but with the kind of two years we have had as a family. it sure would be nice to win this beautiful house. as avid hgtv fans i can say for my wife and even my youngest(4) we love the house . great job. we visited new mexico last june for the first time and fell in love. my youngest has said since then he wants to move there. well here is luck to everyone and again great job hgtv.
where do you register?
register for what? The dream home giveaway has stopped taking entries. The winner will be announced March 15th.
When entering the office from the entrance area, there are two doors, one door is the bathroom, what is the other one. Also where are the closets for the guest room, and children room. The second laundry room, we see it, but show us the entrance for it, where exactly is it located. In the Casita, where the water heater is located, the doors show the doors opened. In the shower in the Master Bedroom show the window opened. Outside there is a white door between the children room, and the guest room, what is in there. Overall you did a great job! I loved the view you did of the house. But I'm just too curious!!!!! LOL
All of your questions have been asked in previous blogs, but if you want a visual, someone toured the house and posted more than 400 pictures. Here's the link:
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v388/denae01/Dr…
What animals are in the area , and reptiles, will they come up to your door a lot? In general what should we be concern about.
What are the room sizes. What would it costtomove in Fed taxes, state taxes, property taxes, etc. Would the 1/2 million cover all the taxes? Loved the house but someone told me if you win it you will have to sell it because of the costs. Also how much approximately would the heat and AC cost be. Loved the floor plan .
The income taxes alone are estimated at 700-800,000 dollars. If you can afford to move to the area, (most winners are from across the country from their dream home win) and take a 300,000 mortgage, pay yearly property taxes, HOA fees, and utilities, you could move in with substantial equity on the property. Otherwise you could sell and build or buy something within you're budgetary constraints, or spend the proceeds anyway you feel is worthwhile. Retiring early, paying for family educational expenses, giving to charities, starting your own business are among the possibilities if you don't remain fixated on living in and owning the one and only 2010 HGTV dream home.
My husband and myself would to have a place of our own.
MY husband and myself would like to have a place of our own also to help others.
I agree, I was going to have a friend move in too who desperately needs to move away from her abusive family.
Would like to help others.
The 2010 Dream Home is truly a dream. Best wishes to everyone who entered!
I can taste the Santa Fe air now and it tastes Turquoise! I would wear Chico's brown with that Turquoise wrap if I won the dream home….it would flow through the whole house with a chunky turquoise stone necklace! Smashing, don't you think. sooooo excited to see what happens….good luck to me and you too Judy!
I keep thinking about living in New Mexico if I win or not we will be moving there we had just started talking about moving there when the dream home was shown on hgtv and I said to my husband and my sister we are gonna take a chance every day and pray that we win. It would be perfect for my sister who is handicapped I wish good luck to everyone but keep hoping and praying.
Our family's dream come true could be not only this home.. but the location! We love this part of New Mexico!
Whoever will win.. the home and the culture and the lifestyle of New Mexico are incredible!
Good Luck!
I agree!!
I am just curious, last time they said that they were doing it as a live ambush for the DREAM Home, the sun hadn't set in the east and I live in SC. Well they said that they were live in FL and the Sun was still up. But when they went to the person's house the sun had already set in the mid western state they were from (..was it MI?) and it was really dark out. It should have still been day. Plus, it was edited or TV too. Hmmmm… I am excited anyway. I can't wait! This would be a perfect Birthday present for me!!
The ambush is usually a surprise to the winner, but it is usually filmed a day to a week before the official winner announcement television special airs. Since the television special is really another advertisement opportunity for the sponsors, they probably want people to fool themselves into thinking its happening as a live as it airs event, instead of being a pre-recorded segment of the show. This year the special is playing the day after the daylight savings time kicks in, and that sort of thing could confuse the film crew.
What are the taxes yearly on this Dream Home?
I've seen estimates of property taxes of 3,000 to 10,000 dollars a year. Since they weren't from someone living in the same subdivision with a comparably valued home, I don't know which is accurate. If you win you'll get the correct figures, and be made aware of all the maintenance bills necessary to upkeep the dream home.
I would be the happiest person! Since the 16th is my Birthday it would be the best birthday git ever!!
Its a randomly selected winner sweepstakes prize, not a gift for someone's celebration.
LOL!! hehe Best gift ever…
I think about this beautiful home every day. If I ever won a house like this I would be the happiest person in the world. Have never lived in a brand new house. thank you for building this house and making me dream about it. I know my family would come to visit my husband and I if we ever won it. I am still hoping and praying and dreaming about winning this home. Good luck to all.
JUST KEEPIN MY FINGERS CROSSED. I HOPE WHOEVER WINS IT REALLY ENJOYS IT CUZ ITS BEAUTIFUL. A GORGEOUS HOME. HOPE A DESERVING FAMILY WINS.
All I can say is: I CAN'T WAIT! Everyday I come to the page 2 or 3 times just to look at the house. Everytime I look at the countdown clock my heart races FASTER! This is such an awesome Dream Home! Good Luck To ALL!! My 16 year-old loves that there's a laundry room in the guest room too, isn't that crazy?!
i wouldn't know where to start, as I've always lived in very modest dwellings.
nothing larger than 2 bdrms. perhaps the kitch. were I could really cook something special and have room to do it!
It would scary at night in such a big place, especially during the monsoon season, at night!
I'm a artist, and could sell my works in the area, Santa Fe, etc.
I pray something good like this could happen to me!
I left NM in 1979 and Retired from the USAF
and I only can hope right now that someday I can move back. Home is where your heart is!
Excellent job congratulations.
Good Luck Everyone….May whoever wins this Dream Home be one who is in need of a great blessing in their life. We all love our HGTV…. I am addicted to HGTV.. Are youall??? Have a great day.
Hey All late night Bloggies, I thought I would give you a good hearty laugh to help relieve some tension and maybe help you get some sleep, Most of you know if you've read some my Blogs, I live in a wooded area, and have visits from time to time by different critters during the night , well……….tonight of all nights , our visitor / visitors was a skunk,…….and I didn't know it , I just wanted to take a peek outside as I checked the doors , to lock up, and OH! My goodness !! , Double WOW!! , something must have really frightened it / them very bad , all I can say is……. I just hope if the Dream Team happens to come here early tomorrow morning they have a Great Sense of Humor ! ,…. and haven't eaten yet !!! hahaha I 'am just so sorry for them , .It's really Bad!!
Good luck to everyone and myself. I entered a few times. I'd just love to win something for once and stop having to stress over many bills and multiple piling up debt… aaarrrghhhh (charlie brown voice). To whom ever does win i'm extending out my early contragtulations. Wow I sound all depressed and boring! sorry.. life is suck a drag right now…anyway good luck to everybody again!

So how do you think you'll react when you find out you're the winner?? Jump up and down..scream hysterically, faint? One of us will be finding out real soon!
Oh the home has been given away and HGTV I have to say thank you – not only for myself – but for all of those who had all this time to dream. To dare to dream – it kept their hearts beating strong in hopes they as well as I would be a winner. During these months I spent time writing Ebooks on Native American Stories – still I dreamed about the house – but my ebooks are my dream as well. I thought if 1000 people would buy my ebooks I could replace my vechicle that was hit a few months ago by a two ton truck – well that is one of my own dreams come true – go to http://www.metahawk.com to view my books but HGTV – thank you so much for giving us all the chance to dream once again.
why don't you tell them who really won the house?
We are passing the time by continuing to send our lucky letters out and speaking our new life into existence!
Love the picture it reminds me of Colorado Springs
2rolndice …Please , please! ,think,.. this is just stress,from the waiting, 2rolndice, I was so afraid of this, I promise you adisneyfamily would never mean anything hurtful, to you or anybody,she was just trying to help figure that out , in case it could not be something serious enough to contact the police, don't, say things now that will cause hurt , later , it is human to be stressed , but , it's not in kindness to let it control you, take a fresh walk outside and look around , please. don't let our emotions run away. we wouldn't want this to undermine the good spirit we have going here , OK , love to you all
ditto.
Thanks Ali.
help us ali , come to our rescue , we are mindless blogatics that need to get a life
addisneyfamily, I have just come along and do not know what is going on, but I do know you have a huge supprt team behind you. You are very appreciated so take a deep breath, count to ten, sing your favorite song., look in the mirror and s-m-i-l-e !!!!!
Lovingly, Sandy
The person who asked why someone was showing up on her property taking pictures and refusing to give her any info on why they were there. She/he asked if people on here had this happen or ideas on why. I offered the possible reason of housing payments and told the person to not answer as it is not our business and he/she took huge offense.
I read it all before she took it off, you were very rude , so was PFG, shut your computers off , there is LIFE BEYOND BLOG………….no life sitting at computer.shutting mine of now
How was I rude…my comment is still there and is in a direct regard to what she asked. You probably are her.
So let me see if I get this right. 2rolndice asks a question but when the answers get a little too close to the truth 2rolndice gets upset. Maybe they aren't foreclosing on your home, maybe they are there to scout to reposess your car. Or were you trying to make people think that HGTV was scouting you as the winner when they haven't even had the drawing so when your plan didn't work you get pis*ed off and decide to make the other bloggers as miserable as you are.
As for blowbags- isn't it convenient that you show up only to put down other bloggers. You call the people here "blogatics" which I am guessing is a misspelling for blog addicts. Let me ask you this wouldn't you yourself be the same since you are also on this blog. If not then you truly have no right to chime in.
Why don't both of you disappear permanently.
Ageed, probably this same person with a new name. Quite a few remarks were removed, his quips & his mean retorts. I still don't see my remark as offensive stating we don't know what his situation is, but stating I'm over it & out. Just means I done with trying to configure anything else out for him with his hostility being invoked.
