Aspen Home Sells for $43 Million

July 15, 2009 - Colorado

Despite the recession, a mansion in Aspen, Colo., has fetched a boom-market price.

The 21,400-square-foot home sold this week for $43 million and it wasn't even on the market. Brokers say it's the most expensive home that has sold in the U.S. so far this year.

The 10-bedroom contemporary mountain home on 4.5 acres sits at the base of Aspen's exclusive Red Mountain.

The home of wood, glass and stone, completed in 2006, overlooks downtown Aspen and includes a heated outdoor pool, four-car garage and a guest house.

The Wall Street Journal shows the home which was designed by Charles Cunniffe Architects.

It has an outdoor pool, guest house and a four-car garage. Inside the home, windows frame mountain views from the living areas and private spaces.

It has also an elevator, wine cellar and an home theater.
