Tour a Stunning $20-Million Aspen Estate
The alpine retreat encompasses 36 coveted acres and boasts breathtaking mountain views
In 2012, after acquiring 36 untouched acres with views of the snowcapped Elk Mountains, a Miami couple enlisted Seth Hmielowski of Aspen’s Z Group Architects to create a luxurious getaway for them and their four children. “They wanted to bring the outside in,” says the architect, who designed a 9,800-square-foot retreat with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows engineered to disappear into the walls. Each of the six bedrooms has a private balcony, while earthy materials like Telluride-quarried granite and warm wood accents are used extensively. In addition to radiant-heat concrete floors indoors and out, special features include a hot tub and spa, plus an intriguing sculpture-dotted Zen garden.
