Luxury Front Range Living Realized in One Castle Pines Property

Everyone has their own image that comes to mind when they think about the house of their dreams. Even so, it’s not hard to see that one property in particular in The Village at Castle Pines—one of Colorado’s most prestigious neighborhoods—is truly a dream home personified.

This 9,973 finished square foot home, located on over an acre of land in Castle Pines, is a sterling example of luxurious upscale living that blends seamlessly with and fully embraces its natural surroundings.

“The true story of this home is its outdoor spaces,” says Josh O’Connell, associate broker with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. “You could conceivably have the whole block over and everyone could have something to do and would fit comfortably. It’s the perfect set-up for entertaining on a beautiful Colorado day, and it’s my favorite aspect of the property.”

The home boasts a second-story covered patio that wraps around the whole house and is accessible from both the kitchen and the master bedroom. The walkout basement also flows into a second massive patio area that features a custom gas fireplace and playful sounds emanating from the water feature that runs down the side of the home. The backyard includes an in-ground hot tub, and there is a private, professionally designed four-hole putting and chipping green waiting to be used. As Josh notes, this home is a true entertainer’s dream—and we haven’t even ventured inside yet.

Blending luxurious functionality with impeccable design is the hallmark of the home’s interior. The enormous two-story chandelier in the entrance and the three-story winding staircase with custom wrought iron give the home grandeur, while its artful details emphasize its design prowess. From the overarching spaciousness of the open concept main living area to the fine details of the custom millwork and double thick, leathered granite used throughout the home, no element is left underserved.

Flow and connectivity are central to the main floor—a design ideal for both everyday family living as well as entertaining for any occasion and on any scale. Whether you’re hosting an informal get-together and serving buffet-style on the giant kitchen island or hosting a formal holiday dinner in the adjacent dining room, the space perfectly adapts for both revelry and intimacy. Through it all spills in ample natural light from the expansive windows, which invite the resplendent mountain landscape to join in the fun.

The home includes areas ideal both for rest and for play. The master suite is an oasis with its sprawling walk-in closet, luxurious bathroom and built-in fireplace. At the same time, numerous exciting amenities throughout the home provide countless ways to be entertained, including a game room, fitness area, theater room and much more.

While the home is a dream in and of itself, the community in which it is located adds to its desirability. Offering five tennis courts, three pools, a fitness center facility, multiple parks, two private Jack Nicklaus golf courses and easy access to the nearby Outlets at Castle Rock and restaurants, The Village at Castle Pines contributes to the next-level luxury of the home.

“The next owners of this home aren’t just purchasing a great property,” says Josh. “They’re truly buying a lifestyle.”
