In 2014, Cruise first listed his extravagant Telluride estate on the market for a whopping $59 million. When the steep asking price failed to attract buyers, the home was taken off the market. Seven years later, Cruise successfully relisted and sold the property at $39.5 million in only two months. Throughout the years, the Colorado ranch has served as a distinguishable location in Cruise’s career as the backdrop for his Vanity Fair profile in 2006 and his Oprah interview in 2008. Reportedly, Cruise is no longer in use of this property as his primary residence which is the presumed reason for his listing. Lead agent, Eric Lavey, and co-listing agent, Dan Dockray, of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty represented this property.

Built in 1994, this 10,000-square-foot estate spans 320 acres of picturesque land. As the listing describes, this property is fit for a movie star as the epitome of “luxury meets legend” with its seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The luxurious ranch is surrounded by scenic mountain views while being “custom-built for privacy.” Beyond the gated entry, the home's interior is equipped with a top-of-the-line chef’s kitchen, fitness center, recreation room, office suite, fireplaces, terraces, and outdoor space. The property also features a spectacular three-bedroom guest lodge. Decorative elements include bleached cedar timbers and native stone. While the lavish Colorado home is immersed in nature and forested trails, it is also a short distance to Telluride known for world-class skiing and golf.

Tom Cruise has listed his massive and secluded Telluride, Colorado custom-designed home for $39.5 million. In 2014, the home was put up for $59 million, but it wasn’t officially listed under the pretense that Cruise wasn’t ready to give up the estate just yet.

Cruise had been making plans for an estate when he originally purchased the land back in 1992. Later on, he built a 10,000 square foot home which was completed in 1994 and added a guest home, totaling 11,512 square feet of living space between the two. The property holds 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.

The sprawling 320-acre estate includes a long list of amenities such as a game room, a makeshift motor-cross track, an in-ground trampoline, a foosball table and piano, a fitness center, two fireplaces, an outdoor terrace, and a three-car garage. The home also has a mile-long drive to the main house from the gated entrance, which would cost about $4 million to make today.

The property is filled with rustic charm. The main house has high-beamed ceilings, cedar-paneled walls, and stone fireplaces. The kitchen itself is designed head-to-toe in cedar. It includes a large center island, custom cabinetry, and a wood-paneled oversize fridge.

Telluride real estate expert Anne-Britt Østlund of Mountain Rose Realty says on the property, "Cruise's home is located in a spot that is beyond National Park beauty, completely private, yet with the most sweeping views of the iconic Mount Wilson massif that you'll ever see."

Although the home is over 25 years old and has not been recently used, it has remained in a pristine state as Cruise ensured the estate was built at the highest level of construction. The home was built for privacy and offers unspoiled natural beauty. The natural surroundings allow for plentiful outdoor activities such as skiing, snowmobiling, golfing, horseback riding, hiking, and biking. With mountain vistas all around, the property includes extensive forested trails to explore the natural surroundings as well.

Eric Lavey and Dan Dockray from LIV Sotheby's International Realty hold the listing.

Nestled in East Vail, this one-of-a-kind single family home was constructed to minimally impact and accentuate the surrounding natural beauty of the area. Backing up to a national forest with sweeping views of Bald Mountain, the tranquil seasonal stream provides the ultimate, serene backdrop for you to luxuriate in this Mountain Modern masterpiece. The residence is unmatched in its price point for quality of construction, location and luxury.

Designed by renowned local architect, Kyle Webb, the home’s versatile layout serves the evolving needs of families. Kyle used natural materials and clean lines to achieve a mountain modern aesthetic while capitalizing on the landscape’s beauty by adding floor-to-ceiling glass in all of the right locations.

The heated driveway leads to the dramatic glass entrance featuring an elegant floating staircase that is an artistic feat. The stairs are composed white oak treads and steel to further compliment the mountain modern look. And as you head up or down the stairway, the enchanting views of majestic pine trees and the mountains in the distance are breathtaking. Leading from the staircase of the main level is the kitchen and main living room.

The main living room is drenched in natural light from the soaring glass and vaulted ceilings that are framed with wooden accents. Additionally, the living room boasts a steel floor-to-ceiling fireplace and also leads to the outdoor patio. Opening up to the heated patio are Wyland doors that fold like an accordion so that you may bring the fresh air in or entertain effortlessly from space to space as you take in the views of Bald Mountain.

The main level master suite is situated in the back of the lot with it’s own spacious patio overlooking White River National Forest and the seasonal stream. Enjoy Colorado mornings with coffee on your private terrace while checking out the wildlife. The master wing is complete with a gas fireplace, wooden accent ceiling and a gorgeous master bathroom outfitted with a steam shower and walk-in closet. Even in the hottest months of the summer, you will be comfortable with a forced air conditioning system.

The lower level exalts great ceiling height and is designed around flexibility. Upon parking in your radiant heated and oversized 2-car garage, you enter into the large mudroom that is outfitted with gorgeous built-in, custom wooden lockers. Each locker is enclosed so that your gear is tucked away and remains tidy. Just beyond the mudroom is the family/game room complete with a bar and patio. This room can operate as another sleeping space when you have a houseful as there is a large three-quarter bathroom with a spacious shower. The bunk room on this level is totally unique as it has white oak bunk beds that are queen sized (two sets) for adults and kids alike. You could comfortably house four college age boys in this room or a houseful of kids would love to imagine this room as their fortress. This level is rounded out with a large laundry room, mechanical room that is sure to impress even the most critical eye, and a great additional storage closet.

A second master bedroom and two junior masters suites complete the upstairs. Each of the spacious junior suites have en-suite luxury bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling glass accentuating the majestic views. No guest will feel slighted no matter what room they are assigned.

You’re traveling in the mountains and can’t help but look at the local real estate. What if you could have it all - live, vacation, and work in a mountain town. You can! There’s a reason people are leaving the metro and heading to the mountains. The quality of life mountain towns offer is unbeatable. We’ve compiled a list of the top 5 reasons to move to a mountain town. By the end, we hope you will be packing your bags and joining us in paradise.

The Community

Imagine being surrounded by relaxed, healthy, diverse and spontaneous people. You walk down Main Street and run into your neighbor heading to the gondola for a powder day, you walk another few blocks and run into your child’s 1st-grade teacher on their way to work. Living in a mountain town you get to know everybody which means you have friends everywhere you go. Are you in a mood for a beer? Walk to the local brewery and hang with fellow locals and travelers. Did you forget to lock your door when you left out of town? Call your neighbor to lock up for you. We are all there for the same reason - to have adventures, make connections, and live the dream.

Adventure

Mountain towns are nothing short of an adventure. One of the toughest decisions you will make all day is whether you want to hit the trails for a mountain bike ride, go for a hike, or put on your ski boots to take a few lunch runs. Living in a mountain town forces you to get out of your comfort zone, try new things, and seek more adventures with like-minded people. Bonus: reap in the health benefits of being active.

1713 Falcon Drive, Silverthorne, CO 80498

Quality of Life

Did we mention Summit County has the highest life expectancy in the entire United States? If you weren’t already healthy before you moved to a mountain town, except a transformation. Mountain town folks are health conscious. Unhealthy lifestyles don’t do them any favors when they’re heading off to ski Peak 7 powder in Breckenridge, the highest chairlift in Colorado. There’s something about the remoteness, fresh mountain air, and relaxed pace of life that eases the stress of the everyday hustle and bustle. 

Ease of transportation

It’s not uncommon to see cars parked for weeks without moving in mountain towns. Typically, you can walk, bus, bike, or gondola anywhere you need to go. Do you need to do a quick trip to the grocery store? Walk a few blocks and you will run into your local market. Do you need to get across town? Hop on the free bus for likely less than a 2-mile trip. In some mountain resorts, such as Telluride, you can take the free gondola to different towns. The Telluride gondola takes guests and locals from the Town of Telluride to the Town of Mountain Village and vice versa. Who says there’s no such thing as a free ride?

1713 Falcon Drive, Silverthorne, CO 80498

The Bragging Rights

When the stranger on the chairlift next to you asks you where you live, you casually mention you live here. They ask you questions on what it is like to live the dream, what life choices you made to end up in such a beautiful place. They talk about the steps they want to achieve to live in a mountain town. As you get off the chairlift and look around at the awe-inspiring view all around you, you are humbled and realize how big the world is around you. You are once again validated that you made a great life decision.

If you need more reasons than this, Amon Team is here to answer any of your questions. We specialize in mountain town properties and we are dedicated to getting you into the lifestyle of your dreams. Reach out today.

296 Gray Head Lane, Telluride, CO 81435

Steve Catsman arrived in Telluride fresh out of school by way of Aspen. Although it was the love of skiing that brought him here, his passion for nature, outdoors and mountain living has made the historic town of Telluride the home of his family for over 46 years and three generations. He was a Founding Broker in Telluride Real Estate Corp. in association with the Telluride Ski and Golf Company and has been a top broker since 1981. Catsman sat down with Haute Residence to discuss the market of Telluride and what buyers are looking for:

What are the current real estate market trends and conditions in Telluride, CO?

Telluride enjoys a niche market in one of the most beautiful luxury resorts in Colorado. With a free gondola that connects a 1/4 wide mile box canyon, Historic Town of Telluride, to the Mountain Village, a high end ski in / out community with a commercial core and luxury estate homes, the Telluride area has a variety of real estate options from extremely high end to affordable housing for local residents. By definition, due to it's smaller population, the region is blessed with limited inventory, however, coupled with the incredible beauty and amazing wilderness, the long term trend promises to continue upward.

What are the top 3 things luxury homebuyers look for?

I would say that there are actually four plus main criteria that home buyers are looking for. Because of the unmatched beauty, views are most sought after. Due to the high-end nature of the buyers and their families, privacy is often a request and coupled with the option for convenience to downtown or the Mountain Village. Finally, of course, proximity to the ski area, ski in / out is often desired for area vacation homes in the Telluride region.

Where do you foresee the luxury real estate market is heading in the new year?

The Telluride region is the Festival Leader of Colorado ski towns. With events such as the Telluride Film Festival and the Bluegrass Festival, our summers are actually busier than our winters, and with two new carriers into Telluride's airport, new this summer (Denver Direct) and Boutique air, both affiliated with United Airlines. Telluride also offers a wide variety of connections from East coast to West coast into Tex / Montrose Regional. As a result, we are anticipating a year-round robust market to continue.

Is there a push for vertical living in Telluride or is it still horizontal based?

With amazing natural beauty and our iconic mountains in all directions, Telluride maintains strong architectural controls in order to maintain views and privacy for its residents, and subsequent quality of life, so I do not see the market going vertical anytime soon.

What do you recommend to homebuyers looking to invest in Telluride as we head into 2019? Why Telluride as opposed to other resort areas of Colorado and the west coast?

The Telluride story has never changed. Its natural beauty surpasses all the rest. That coupled with the limited supply of real estate, bodes well for keeping the quality of life above the crowds that frequent other resorts.

The post Scenic Contemporary Carbondale Estate appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

What is significant about this sale prior to the ones made before?

This home took a total of 8 years to come to fruition from the inception of the design to completion. The sale was significant in that it set the benchmark for the highest priced residence ever sold in the town of Edwards, CO and the highest price home sold outside of the Vail and Beaver Creek resort areas in nearly 10 years.

What were prospective buyers seeking when viewing this home?

Huge views, acreage, privacy, and something truly unique that is also relatively close to two of the most iconic ski resorts in the world.

Describe the architectural qualities this home possessed?

The Sellers felt the land always resembled Tuscany with green hills, lush verdant valleys and three-hundred-sixty degrees views of majestic, snow-capped mountains from New York Mountain and the rest of the Sawatch Range, the Gore Range or Castle Peak, depending on the direction of your gaze.

Gordon Pierce (architect) had a vision for a noble, Tuscan-style home that would be the perfect, timeless legacy estate for the Rothkopf family. The goal of the design was to create an estate that would be comfortable and just as gorgeous today as it will be many generations from now. For two weeks, through Umbria and Tuscany, from hill towns to seaside cities and from Florence to Positano, Joseph Abbott (builder) trailed the couple, seeking inspiration. On that trip, they found raw materials they would use to erect their masterpiece; they shipped 9 cargo containers backfilled with supplies (toy boxes stocked with intricately carved fireplaces, pale terracotta, hand-hewn limestone, and marble salvaged from manses and estates, some centuries old.).

The living room’s centerpiece is the centuries-old Tuscan fireplace. The stone flooring is from Padua. The herringbone wood flooring was also created using the materials sent from Italy. The movie screening room was a small replica of the Cinema Rialto in Rome. The kitchen maintained an authentic Italian feel with a wood-fired pizza oven.

There are too many details to mention. It was timeless and breathtaking, but it was also not the typical ski residence.

What was the key selling factor?

I believe the appeal of this residence is that it has a truly timeless quality and with regular maintenance or minor changes over time, it will be just as gorgeous 200 years from now as it is today. Despite being a huge estate, it definitely has an atypical style for our ski country geographical location but is a destination in itself.

A huge factor in selling the home was also focusing on the land and lifestyle the estate offers. The family that purchased the estate has a unique background and an energetic spirit. Once they were intrigued by the beauty of the residence and the views, we invited them back for breakfast in the informal dining area overlooking the incredible Sawatch Mountain views. We then took them sledding down the mile and a half private driveway that the estate caretaker prepped for the occasion. The previous owners have done this for years and it was a huge hit with their friends and family. The buyers enjoyed the experience so much that we set up another experience and invited them back for a snowshoe on the private trails. This gave them time to take in the beauty of the landscape and set a foundation for the intimate family memories to come.

Originally the buyers were looking at ski-in/ski-out residences that were more typical in the area but were drawn into this one-of-a-kind home after getting a glimpse into the lifestyle the estate offers. La Favorita is truly a destination in and of itself.

How does this sale impact the future of your team?

Despite being such an incredible home, it was thought of somewhat as tough sell in the marketplace because it was connected to a golf community where the highest sale is not within a comparable sales range and because no buyer had ever spent nearly this amount of money for a residence that was not in the Vail or in Beaver Creek resort neighborhoods. Some felt it was a large price tag given that distance.

Unlike some ski resorts, we don’t have huge acreage of this magnitude located within only a few miles to the ski areas. La Favorita took a bit more creativity in marketing the home to bring the right buyers in. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the estate because we were fortunate to work with such incredible homeowners that truly partnered with us to make sure we properly understood the residence and portrayed its story. We wanted to make sure that we brought the homeowners and our passion for the estate to the brokerage community and potential buyers.

The post Breathtaking Beaver Creek Estate appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The residence's bold, yet simplistic, linear architecture naturally draws a first-time visitor to a glass, entryway door offering a first hint of the refinement of finishes and viewscape beyond.

The owner along with the renowned Aspen architect, Bill Poss, have artfully designed a residence that not only frames the view, but seemingly integrates the mountains as an intrinsic element to the structure.

Overlooking a pond reflecting the mountain peaks beyond and fed by a cascading stream running beneath the master suite bridge over waterfalls to the pond below, finishes and appointments were painstakingly and globally sourced by the design team.

Address: 296 Gray Head Lane, Telluride, CO 81435

Price: $27,500,000

Bedrooms: 7

Bathrooms: 8 full + 2 half
