About the host
Hosted by Gerri & Lee Turner (Owner / Property Manager)
Lee and I are retired after a 40-year international career in the oilfield services industry. We live in Montgomery TX near Houston. We volunteer for our church and a wide variety of local and int'l charities and ministries. We have a married daughter in Placitas living 5 min from our house with the joyful chaos of three grandsons ages 7, 5 and 2, and a single adult son living in Singapore.
Why they chose this property
Close to our daughter, son-in-law, and three young grandsons
What makes this property unique
Close to the Albuquerque Balloon Festival and good chances to see the famed wild horses of Placitas in or near the small subdivision of Martin Rd. Gorgeous sunsets and see the Milky Way on clear nights.
