Soak in the Source: Private Hot Spring Sanctuary

At the heart of Truth or Consequences’ historic bathhouse district — surrounded by commercial spas — lies a rare and private oasis: your own geothermal retreat, fed by the hottest and most storied waters in the city.

This spring is one of only eight original wells drilled in 1910, reaching deep into a rare aquifer that produces crystal-clear, odorless water at 108°F. The property comes with grandfathered water rights dating back to 1910 — a legacy privilege that ensures flow, freedom, and resilience for generations to come.

Beneath a canopy of trees and surrounded by whispering grasses, the soaking area is private, fenced, and beautifully appointed with a flagstone patio, soft evening lighting, and an 8’ x 8’ cement tub — a single-pour masterpiece that fills in just 12 minutes via remote control. The 10” well casing delivers strong, consistent flow, and the system can easily support additional tubs should your vision grow.

This property is more than a haven — it’s the living backdrop of The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands-On Living, winner of the Nautilus Book Award for Sustainability and Lifestyle. As Publishers Weekly wrote, it’s “an inspiring, intelligent manual for living off the grid.” The New York Journal of Books called it “a how-to guide for anyone ready to give back to the Earth more than he or she takes.”

Owning this property means stepping into a narrative of regeneration, creativity, and off-grid beauty. It’s an opportunity not just to soak, but to root deeply into the story of a place that’s inspired thousands — and make it your own.
