Colorado is well-known for its stunning mountain ranges, breathtaking views, and, of course, for being one of the first states to legalize recreational marijuana usage. What you may not realize is that Colorado is also one of the most economically successful states in the country. As a result, it should come as no surprise that the state is home to several multi-million-dollar houses that seem to be competing with one another. Ranging from custom-made mansions with more than 15,000 square feet of living space and every interior luxury you could ever want to homes built with materials imported from overseas to homes lying on acres of great real estate.
Some of the most gorgeous and luxurious real estate homes in the world may be found in Colorado. Celebrities and entrepreneurs own world-class houses and ranches tucked away in the Rocky Mountains, which make for the ideal vacation or year-round residence.
The Top 10 Most Expensive Houses in Colorado
10. 41 Popcorn Lane, Aspen, CO 81611 – $39.5 million
This 13,000 sq. ft. mansion is on just over four acres along the banks of the Roaring Fork River and features five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and three 12 baths. A two-bedroom guesthouse, as well as a separate one-bedroom caretaker’s cottage, are available. It also has a walk-in wine room, a video room, and a top-of-the-line six-car garage with “opulent finishes of reclaimed Belgian black stone flooring and blue Bahia granite.” The river, which is literally right outside the front door, is visible through floor-to-ceiling windows. This home also boasts “classic antique treasures purchased internationally expressly for their location in this rare Aspen gem,” which is an added incentive for potential purchasers.
9. 109 Willoughby Way, Aspen, CO 81611 – $39.75 million
The ‘Pond House’ in Aspen is unlike anything else on the market in the United States. One of the most expensive residences currently available in Aspen, CO is a 2.5-acre estate on Willoughby Way, right off Red Mountain Road. The 11,437 square foot Contemporary masterpiece is the crowning beauty of this heritage property, which is bordered on all sides by water and wildlife. A home of extraordinary beauty and quality was designed by the award-winning architectural firm Poss Architecture and completed in 1991 by one of Aspen’s most recognized builders.
Although this 11,437 square foot home is a little older than the others on this list, it is no less impressive. The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom property is known as ‘The Pond House,’ and it has stone walls, elaborate wood carvings, and floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking vistas. Residents can relax in the quiet surroundings while using the pool, jacuzzi, and hot tub outside.
8. 14 N 2941 County Rd., Kremmling, CO 80459 – $39.8 million
This 14,566 sq. ft. property, also known as ‘High Plains Ranch,’ lies on more than 6,000 acres of land in the Colorado Rockies and features facilities that are rarely seen in single-family residences. It has private ski slopes, a 10,500-square-foot barn, and a ski cottage for evenings when you don’t feel like returning to the main home. (By the way, the ski cabin is nicer than most of our ordinary residences.) The mansion was built in 2002 and has five (obscenely large) bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, and a breathtaking interior with wood beams, stone walls, and what appear to be multiple trees growing through it.
7. 343 Willoughby Way, Aspen, CO – $42.5 million
This 5-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom home was built from Epay wood and Spanish stone just down the road from the 14th house on this list. Within its 9,613 square feet of living space, you’ll find everything from a home theater, 2-story great room, and 2,000 bottle wine cellars to a fitness room and a spa with sauna and steam room. Floor-to-ceiling windows, like those in the other homes, are essential for taking in the views of Aspen Mountain. It has a “disappearing glass wall” that opens onto a patio with a fire pit, pool, and hot tub, unlike the other homes. In other words, it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys bringing nature indoors.
6. 565 Midnight Mine Rd., Aspen, CO 81611 – $42.5 million
On over 44 exclusive mountain acres, this stunning contemporary view estate is situated. This majestic house, which is part of the historic Jigsaw Ranch, offers breathtaking views of Aspen Highlands Bowl, Steeplechase, and the entire upper Castle Creek Valley.
This 12,247 sq. ft. contemporary-style property is part of what was originally known as ‘Jigsaw Ranch,’ and has six bedrooms and six bathrooms, as well as a one-bedroom gatehouse. It’s essentially a private mountain village, perched high above Steeplechase, Aspen Highlands Bowl, and the upper Castle Creek Valley on more than forty acres of land. There are only a few facts about this house, which was built in 2010. There are “too many world-class features to name,” according to the listings.
5. 2900 W Buttermilk Rd., Aspen, CO 81611 – $50 million
This 15,664 sq. ft. mansion was built in 2006 and features seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and three 12 baths, as well as a 2,000 sq. ft. caretaker’s residence. It has a cinema, billiards room, private pub, private ski run, outdoor pool and hot tub, and a 3,000-square-foot auto servicing center, among other amenities. Inside, towering ceilings, magnificent wood accents, and a main living area that extends outdoors and features a fireplace, heated and covered eating and lounging space, and a hot tub with views of the ski slopes can all be found. This is the only property in the neighborhood that allows ski-in/ski-out access, with 61 acres of land. (For those unfamiliar, this means you don’t have to walk to the slopes… They’re just outside the front door, so you can ski out in the morning and back in at night.)
4. Undisclosed Address, Woody Creek, CO 81656 – $52 million
There is very little information about this 7,649 square foot property with seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. What is known is that the 813-acre property has a farmhouse-style home that was constructed in 2009. The property is described as a working ranch and a luxury retreat, with Argentine maroon leather flooring, Navajo blankets covering the media room ceiling, reclaimed ancient wood, a copper bathtub, and an outdoor hot tub. This home was originally listed for $88 million, but it has since been dropped to the current asking price of $52 million.
3. 1000 1220 Watson Divide Rd., Snowmass, CO 81654 – $58.5 million
Built-in 2007, this 18,000-square-foot mansion with seven bedrooms and eleven bathrooms last sold in 2016, so don’t expect to see it on the market anytime soon. This estate, which lies on 876 acres and contains fifteen miles of private horseback riding paths, has everything you could ever want or need, including amazing views of Capital Peak, Mt. Daly, and Mt. Sopris. This includes a private beach with a grotto and waterfall that cascades through three pools (one of which is inside and has a planetarium-style roof), four fire pits, two outdoor fireplaces, two full outdoor kitchens with a brick pizza oven, putting green, and a furnished teepee with gas heat for those nights you want to rough it outside. There’s a movie theater with a karaoke stage, a vitamin D-infused sauna, a climate-controlled wine lounge, and a massage room with a chemotherapeutic tub on the inside.
2. 115 Francisco Way, Telluride, CO – $59 million
This 289-acre home, designed and owned by Tom Cruise, is regarded as one of Telluride’s most elite properties. The main house, which is 10,000 square feet and has been updated numerous times, was built in the 1990s and contains seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It was built with native stone and white bleached cedar timbers and includes a fitness center, library, rec room, and private elevator, among other amenities. A helicopter and a 1,600 sq. ft. guesthouse with three bedrooms and three bathrooms are both located on the property for easy access. If you’re interested, the property has been on the market for a long time, and maybe yours for less than $59 million.
1. 155 and 200 Sabin Dr., Aspen, CO – $65 million
The Summit House is a contemporary-style estate in Aspen, Colorado, located at 155 and 200 Sabin Drive. It sits on roughly 6 acres of land and has a main home of 18,000 square feet and a guest house of 4,150 square feet. It has a lot of wood and beautiful views from every room.
This 18,000 sq. ft. home, known as ‘Summit House,’ was built on six acres in 2010 and features seven bedrooms, seven full and four 12 bathrooms, a gorgeous glass/wood staircase, lounge with wet bar, game room, media room with wet bar, and, of course, floor-to-ceiling glass windows with unrivaled views of the Rocky Mountains. There are several decks outside that provide excellent views. A 4,150 sq. ft. guest home is something this property possesses that others don’t. Yes, the majority of the other properties on the list have a guesthouse, but none that is larger than the typical American home’s 2,600 square feet. The property is located on the iconic ‘Billionaire Mountain’ in Aspen.
