Three luxurious mountain lodges in Vail’s Beaver Creek and an oceanfront estate in Maui are among the estates heading towards auction in coming weeks. Read more in our high-end real estate roundup.
Beaver Creek’s ski slopes are only minutes away from a Colorado showplace built in 2008 that’s headed towards auction. Once you cross a private bridge over Lake Creek, other entertainments in this mountain retreat, once listed for $21.5m, are even closer at hand. There’s an indoor pool, a sauna, an exercise room, a game room, and a media room. The lodge’s 12,586sf include 8 bedrooms, and 9.5 baths. The appointments are what you’d expect in an establishment of this scale–it was once listed for $21.5m– with stone fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, extensive patios and decks. Lake Creek runs through the 23-acre grounds (there’s an adjacent 14-acre lot as well) and there’s a stocked trout pond as well. Should exercising the private fishing rights begin to pale, the property features hiking and cross-country trails. The starting bid at the auction, scheduled for December 19-23 will be $3.995m, with a five-day closing period, just in time for the tail end of the holiday.
