“The ultra-exclusive Casteel Creek merges the tranquility of nature with the ultimate in luxury living,” Media Coordinator Terry Walsh said in a news release. “Drive across a dramatic bridge suspended in the Aspens to find a 400-acre community with 10 high-end homes.”

The mansion and the 56 acres of land will sell with no reserve and is expected to have starting bids between $15 and $25 million.

The estate blends modern aesthetics with Western touches. The primary residence features a stone façade and exposed beam ceilings, complemented by massive windows for 360-degree mountain views. Stone fireplaces contrast with blonde hardwood siding as well.

The kitchen offers top-of-the-line appliances and connects to a stunning dining room with a Chihuly chandelier. The sumptuous primary suite includes spacious quarters, a bathroom with a dressing room, a wet bar, and a private deck with an outdoor hot tub. Seven additional bedrooms each have ensuite bathrooms.

The estate has plenty of entertaining value too. The custom cowboy-saloon bar is modeled after the famous Silver Dollar Saloon in Jackson, Wyoming’s Wort Hotel. The cinema-style home theater is classy and stylish.

The indoor/outdoor hot tub and grotto overlook the Gore and Sawatch ranges, while numerous patios and decks provide lounging.

A four-bedroom guest house plus a three-bedroom apartment above the 12-space car barn offer plenty of room for visitors or staff. A cowboy-themed garage with a heated gear room and an authentic sheriff’s office and jail keep up the Wild West theme for additional entertainment.

Casteel Creek is only 11 miles from the premier ski resort at Beaver Creek, 20 miles from the Kardashian fave Vail Village, and 96 miles from Aspen. Right out the back door is the exclusive 28,000-square-foot Coyote Lodge.
