Most Expensive Houses for Sale in Metro Denver Now

There's no reason to pity Russell Wilson.

True, the onetime Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks was humbled during the two years he spent with the Denver Broncos, thanks to an 11-19 record as a starter and zero playoff appearances. Moreover, his Cherry Hills Village abode, which he put on the market even before being officially released by the Denver franchise on March 13, quickly sold for $21.5 million, or $3.5 million less than the $25 million he paid for it in 2022.

With Wilson's spread off the market, prospective luxury-home buyers in the Denver area will have to lower their standards, but not by much. Although the five most expensive houses for sale in the metro area may be considerably less expensive than the one where Russ, Ciara and their ultra-photogenic kids briefly cavorted (the spendiest tops out at a mere $14,000,000), they're still mighty posh. Three of them are located in Cherry Hills Village, including two whose addresses are a single digit away from each other on Churchill Drive. The other two, meanwhile, are a spectacular manse in Greenwood Village and a historic Denver property designed by famed architect Temple Hoyne Buell.

Settling for less has seldom involved less of a sacrifice.

"Situated on one of the most prominent sites in Cherry Hills Village, this authentic English Tudor (with a separate guest cottage) is a legacy estate that epitomizes a generational offering for the most discerning of buyers. Overlooking the Cherry Hills Country Club with breathtaking mountain views on 2.69 acres, the grandeur and significance of this location cannot be overstated. Newly designed and classically proportioned English gardens infuse bold forms and modern elements, integrating timeless architecture with a majestic landscape. The beauty of this estate is enhanced through the organization of its topography, with terraced parterres in the garden to honor the home's English heritage, a perspective walk, sport court, vegetable gardens, pool, and a private putting green that seamlessly blends the property into the 11th hole of the golf course. This organization of the estate's grounds, with its surroundings and mountain views, strikes a harmonic chord when viewed both intimately and as a whole, while the peaceful nature of the golf course and auspicious view of the pond creates a sanctuary that few properties can match. With its foundations originally laid in the 1940s, this Tudor underwent an $8.1 million dollar full restoration and 8,500 sqft addition that was completed in 2007 to achieve a blend of exceptional quality, meticulous detail, and a wealth of rare features true to the authenticity of the Tudor style. Additionally, another several million was spent on recent upgrades to the property, including all major systems, whole house smart home features with security, and the newly designed landscaping, seamlessly transforming this estate. This once in a lifetime offering effortlessly blends a distinguished English Tudor with the Rocky Mountains and a cultivated worldly estate."
