Ski season is right around the corner, and loyalists of various mountains in New England or in Colorado or Utah likely already know where they’ll be shredding most often. Especially if they have their own mountain house or regular rental, of course.
For this property within the Beaver Creek resort, calling it a mountain mansion is far more appropriate. Newly listed for $45 million, the grand Colorado home is on track to become Beaver Creek and Bachelor Gulch’s priciest residence ever sold, with the title currently held by a $25 million sale.
Located on a 1.56-acre parcel with ski-in/ski-out access to Beaver Creek’s trails, the seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom spread offers a home theater, wine room, and a steam room to thaw after a long day in the snow. Dubbed Château de la Montagne, meaning ‘Castle of the Mountain,’ the 15,900-square-foot manor is dressed in steel, natural stone, and sparkling chandeliers for a lavish spin on woodsy, cabin style. A great room holds a double-sided stone fireplace with, of course, a moose mount right above. The cathedral-style ceiling and deep, warm wood accents in the exposed beams, paneling of the wet bar, and floors keep the massive space cozy. And soon, winter nights will bring fresh powder that lands on the pines.
The primary suite, which sits on the very top floor, is another sanctuary for relaxation with ensuite dual bath and steam showers, wet bar, and fireplace. But, what else would you expect of a mountain home asking $45 million? It’s also ready for luxe aprés-ski activities, whether it be hosting dinner parties, gathering around the outdoor fireplace, or lounging in the hot tub.
