Gene Hackman left behind an $80 million fortune when he died in February—including the beloved $4 million Santa Fe compound, where he and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead.

Authorities discovered the bodies of the 95-year-old Hollywood legend and his pianist wife, 65, at the sprawling New Mexico property on Feb. 26. Forensic experts later determined that the duo likely died about a week apart.

Arakawa was found to have died on or around Feb. 11 from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a very rare disease that is spread by infected rat droppings or saliva. Hackman was believed to have died on Feb. 18 from heart disease with complications from Alzheimer’s disease, according to the Associated Press.

Now, reports have emerged about what could become of Hackman’s $80 million estate, which he was said to have left to Arakawa, whom he named in his will as his successor trustee, according to DailyMail.com.

The outlet notes that it remains unclear whether anything was left to his children: Christopher Allen, 65, Leslie Anne, 58, and Elizabeth Jean, 62, whom he shared with his ex-wife, Faye Maltese.

It appears that Hackman last signed his will in June 2005.

Meanwhile, the outlet claims that Arakawa’s will “designates her assets to a trust, to be distributed to charitable organizations and the settlement of medical debts.”

Hackman had previously been estranged from his three children, confessing that his commitment to his Hollywood career had strained their relationship.

“It’s tough being the son or daughter of a celebrity. I couldn’t always be home with them when they were growing up, and then, living in California, they’ve had my success always hanging over their heads,” he said during a 2000 interview with The Irish Independent.

He was understood to have reconciled with his children in recent years. It is unclear whether this affected his decision to leave them any part of his estate.

Attorney Julie Peters has been appointed as the executor of both wills—and on March 13, she filed a petition to try to block the public release of autopsy and investigative reports, as well as photos of her late clients’ bodies and police footage taken inside their home.

According to AP, Peters noted that Hackman and Arakawa shied away from public interest at their longtime residence in New Mexico.

The couple “lived an exemplary private life for over thirty years in Santa Fe, New Mexico and did not showcase their lifestyle,” Peters stated in her petition.

“The Royal Tenenbaums” star Hackman and his pianist wife—who wed in 1991—had been living in the home for several decades. The actor purchased the property in the 1980s for an undisclosed amount and spent years turning the home into an idyllic escape from the pressures of Hollywood.

Hackman’s rustic-style home sits atop a hill and spreads across 12 acres.

The residence boasts at least four bedrooms and 360-degree mountain views that stretch as far as Colorado.

When Hackman purchased the home in the 1980s, he quickly set about renovating it, explaining to Architectural Digest in a 1990 interview that he preferred to “interpret what’s already there” rather than tearing it down to make way for a new dwelling.

“I think it’s like being an actor. I interpret what’s already there. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I guess I like the process, and when it’s over, it’s over,” he told the outlet.

At the time, he described Santa Fe as having “a kind of magic in it,” explaining that he fell in love with the region after filming several movie projects there—and set about establishing his 10th home in the region.

Hackman became so enamored with the home that he built a second property on the land in 2000, turning it into the perfect hideaway from Hollywood, where he ultimately spent much of his final years.

Hackman worked closely with Harry Daple and Stephen Samuelson, of Santa Fe firm Studio Arquitectura, to fully remodel his home.

At the time, Samuelson told AD, “The house was horrible. It was a 1950s block building that had sat empty and had deteriorated. But it was a great site, and the foundation had been well placed on the land.”

Hackman and Arakawa wanted to make the property more welcoming, so they tore down blocking walls and added French doors that allowed natural light to flood in.

Hackman was extremely involved in the renovating process, and when he wasn’t available to be on-site due to his filming schedule, Arakawa would call him to inform him of the changes.

Samuelson described Hackman as a “deeply involved client, very artistic, very keen on details.”

He added: “[Hackman and Arakawa] were not interested in re-creating native pueblo architecture. It’s not purist at all. It’s more primitive, like a barn converted into a house, massive and cozy at the same time.”

The roof was torn down so the ceiling could be raised, and the couple added three extra rooms to the property by knocking down walls.

The expansive living area boasts cozy furniture from around the world and large columns because the actor wanted the property to be a “haven” when he came back from filming.

Hackman wanted the home to blend the classic Sante Fe design with touches of New York, Los Angeles, and Germany, which is where he purchased some of his furnishings.

He wanted the home to come with a “great-hall feeling” that was not “closed off” by walls.

He confessed that his New Mexico property was “totally different” from his other residences because it wasn’t as “formal.”

In recent years, it has been estimated that the property is worth around $3.8 million.
