Located on 11 private acres, this meticulously restored Pueblo Revival estate dates back to the 1930s and features a fascinating provenance. It was initially built for John Dempsey, a New Mexico governor, and later passed through notable ownerships, including members of the Weyerhaeuser and Martini & Rossi families. The spirits heiress allowed the estate to lapse into disrepair, but over the span of four years – and at a cost of more than $18 million – Robert and Miryam Knutson, the founders/CEOs of Education Management Corporation, retained a team of craftsman, architects and artisans and restored the home to perfection. The present owners have lovingly maintained the estate and cherish the hours in their beloved Casa Alegre with large family gatherings and philanthropic events.
