Gutiérrez-Hubbell House, Historic house in South Valley, Albuquerque, US.

The Gutiérrez-Hubbell House is a historic residence in South Valley with thick adobe walls and wooden beam ceilings throughout its rooms. The property sits on several acres of working farmland with fruit trees and an old irrigation system still in use.

The earliest rooms were built in 1825 by the Gutiérrez family, and the house was enlarged in the 1850s and 1860s. Julianita Gutiérrez married James "Santiago" Hubbell in 1849, and their twelve children helped build the hacienda. It later served as a stagecoach stop, trading post and post office, and descendants lived here until the 1990s.

The house is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties as a symbol of the meeting of Spanish, Native American and Anglo cultures. Its name joins the Gutiérrez ranching family and James "Santiago" Hubbell, born in Connecticut to an Anglo father and a Hispanic mother. The sala, with transom windows and double doorways, was the setting for political and social gatherings.

The property is located along Isleta Boulevard Southwest and welcomes visitors through guided tours and educational programs throughout the year. Planning ahead is wise since hours shift with the seasons and group visits work better when arranged in advance.

An irrigation system from the 1600s still works on these grounds, watering fruit trees including old varieties of apples, pears, and peaches that grow across the property. This ancient method shows how early residents made the dry landscape productive and their approach has survived through the centuries.
