A ski-in, ski-out seven-bedroom, 7 1/2-bath home with a heated driveway, built in 2018, has set a record sale price of $17 million for Breckenridge.
The previous highest price for the resort and the wider summit county area was $10.1 million for a house in the same neighbourhood only two years ago in 2019. The same house had also set the old record two years earlier when it sold for nearly $2m less.
The $17 million house on a nearly 1-acre lot also has an 18-person in-ground custom hot tub and a three-car garage. But its main draw, according to the selling agents, is that it is one of only five ski-in, ski-out properties that back up to the base of Peak 8 at Breckenridge Ski Resort.
Property agents in Breckenridge said these were "historic times" for housing sales in the resort, which is also a historic former gold mining town, with buildings selling for higher prices and at faster speeds than ever before.
