A Ski-In, Ski-Out Property With Views of the Rockies Asks $22 Million
A ski-in, ski-out home surrounded by forest in Colorado’s Beaver Creek Resort is hitting the market for $22 million.
Measuring about 10,500 square feet, the house sits on nearly 4 acres of mostly undeveloped land in Eagle County with views of the Rocky Mountains’ Gore Range. It is located in Beaver Creek’s Bachelor Gulch community, where just two of the roughly 100 homesites remain undeveloped, according to Bret Burton of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, who shares the listing with colleagues Heather Losa and David McHugh.
The seller is Louisiana native Todd Davison. He bought the property in 2012 for $11 million to use as a vacation home with his family, often summering there to escape the hot and humid south, Mr. Davison said in an email.
The timber-frame house measures about 10,500 square feet.
The home’s furniture and some of the art is included in the asking price.
A recreation room with a pool table.
The kitchen.
One of the home’s six bedrooms.
The timber-framed, mountain contemporary-style home was built in 2006. It has six bedrooms plus a fitness room, a library with a fireplace, and a wine cellar with space for about 1,300 bottles. Outside are heated flagstone patios, a hot tub, two fire pits, and a water feature with ponds and cascading waterfalls.
“I love the wine room and also just love sitting on the back porch on summer evenings listening to the water or some music and sipping wine,” Mr. Davison said. Mr. Davison said he and his wife, Renee Davison, made some renovations to the property over the years, including redoing the kitchen and installing a new roof. They also replaced the indoor and outdoor furniture, which is included in the sale price.
The property has heated flagstone patios and a hot tub.
“The design of the home is timeless, so other than some personal preferences, we didn’t need to do much,” Mr. Davison said. The property is surrounded by thousands of acres of evergreens and aspen trees, according to Mr. Burton. In addition to being located adjacent to Beaver Creek’s ski trails, the property has access to hiking and biking trails. “It’s my favorite place in the world,” Mr. Davison said of the area. “For anyone who loves outdoor activities it’s unbeatable.” Mr. Davison and his family sold a Louisiana-based petroleum company in 2007. He now considers himself semiretired, although he said he is focusing on a ranching and cutting horse operation, “which is a passion I developed when I was younger.”
The house sits on nearly 4 acres of mostly undeveloped land with views of the Gore Range.
The Davisons, who also have residences in Louisiana and Texas, are putting the Colorado property on the market because they want to downsize and buy something smaller in the area. If it doesn’t sell, however, Mr. Davison said they don’t mind keeping it. In
Bachelor Gulch, homeowners have access to a community tennis facility as well as an outdoor pool at the Ritz-Carlton, which is about 1.5 miles from the Davisons’ home, Mr. McHugh said. Residents can also become Bachelor Gulch Club members, which gives them access to private restaurants on Beaver Creek Mountain, a private clubhouse at the Ritz-Carlton and Ritz-Carlton spa facilities.
While markets across the country have seen a slowdown in demand this year, the Bachelor Gulch market has remained competitive because of limited inventory. Currently there are only two other homes for sale in the community, according to Mr. Burton. If Mr. Davison’s home sells at or near its asking price, it will become the most expensive recorded home sale in Bachelor Gulch, he said. The title is currently held by a roughly 10,000-square-foot home that sold for $16 million last year.
