504 S Pershing St, Truth or Consequences, New Mexico

Step through the hand-built metal gates and enter a world where nature is not just present, but cherished. Over 17 years, this one-acre sanctuary has been lovingly shaped into a living, breathing ecosystem — a desert oasis in the heart of Truth or Consequences’ historic bathhouse district. The land here speaks. Towering cottonwoods create a canopy of shade, filtering sunlight through leaves that shimmer like water. Around you, four pomegranate trees, a pear, an apple, an almond, and three jujubes fruit in season, offering sustenance to humans and birds alike. Pines and poplars rise skyward. Rosemary and za’atar sprawl low. Pampas grasses sway along the perimeter, generating a soothing whisper of white noise around the private hot spring patio. Desert willows bloom in bursts of pink, while mesquites, elms, mulberries, and a watchful Washington Hawthorne add texture, fragrance, and layered green geometry. This is not a manicured landscape — it’s a nurtured one. Every tree is pruned with care, allowing sunlight and wind to move freely through the branches. The seasonal rhythms of growth and retreat are honored here, giving rise to waves of life that unfold throughout the year — above and below the soil. Birds have long since made their claim. Their songs form a continuous thread in the soundtrack of life on the property, mingling with breeze and silence to produce the rarest sound of all: peace. The outdoor spaces at The Good Life Lab — from the Shinto-inspired round porch to the lava-rock fire circle, the hot spring sanctuary to tucked-away patios — are designed not only for living, but for listening. They invite you to slow down, soften your edges, and come into conversation with the land itself.

Sustainability meets artistry in this off-grid-capable solar setup, housed in a sculptural 8-foot diameter papercrete dome — a nod to both function and beauty. The 5-kilowatt photovoltaic solar system currently feeds the property’s underground grid, supporting multiple structures and points of use with clean, renewable energy. Inside the dome, two complete sets of inverters and charge controllers give you the flexibility to continue feeding power to the grid or easily transition to full off-grid living with the addition of batteries. The current system is battery-free, allowing future owners to customize it to their needs and lifestyle. This hand-built papercrete dome isn’t just a utility shelter — it’s a testament to the creative spirit of the property: regenerative, resilient, and ready for the next chapter

The primary residence on the property is a thoughtfully expanded and beautifully renovated 1967 metal-bodied mobile home that blends vintage charm with modern comforts. With approximately 1,200 square feet of interior space, this two-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been extended with a spacious 21’ x 14’ living room, laundry room, additional bathroom, storage area, and two large, shaded porches — all built with stick-frame construction. Renovated with intention and style, the home features bamboo flooring, new sheetrock walls, upgraded lighting fixtures, custom tile work in the bathrooms, and handcrafted wood details throughout. The kitchen and dining area is large and inviting — ideal for gatherings or quiet meals at home — while French doors with digital locks open to the outdoors, blending security with ease. The main bathroom is plumbed with pump-fed hot spring water, offering a luxurious soak experience in the privacy of your own home. Climate comfort is covered with forced hot air heat, a swamp cooler, a sleek ductless heating and AC unit, and a cozy gas fireplace in the living room. The exterior was upgraded with R-panel metal siding in 2021 and topped with a new metal roof in 2022, ensuring durability and low maintenance for years to come. This home is warm, welcoming, and ready — whether for personal use or to house a long-term tenant or manager for your Airbnb operations. It’s the heart of the property, rooted in history but thoroughly renewed.
