WHAT: is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom penthouse condo in the heart of historic downtown Telluride.
PRICE: Previously listed at $18 million, the third-floor unit will be sold at auction with no reserve Dec. 20 by . Furnishings and art are included in the sale.
SIZE: 6,235 square feet.
LOCATION: Across the street from the historic San Miguel County Courthouse on Telluride’s main drag, the condo — 300 W. Colorado Ave. Unit 3 — covers the entire top floor of the Elks Building, built by Telluride Elks Lodge #692 in 1989. The top floor previously housed the Elks Lodge itself — it’s since moved a few blocks away to the historic Swede-Finn Hall. The other two floors are offices and retail.
The building’s only residential unit, the penthouse benefits from the same high perch as the courthouse across the street, listing agent Mike Wentworth said.
“The courthouse was built where it was because itap at the crest of the hill coming into town,” Wentworth said. “When you walk around the penthouse, you’ve got a 360-degree view, unobstructed views. Itap incredible.”
ABOUT THE HOUSE: Fully renovated in 2005, the penthouse was designed from top to bottom by New York’s Alan Wanzenberg Architect/Design and built by Telluride’s Fortenberry Construction.
In addition to four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the condo boasts three private outdoor decks — two facing west and one to the east, contributing another 822 square feet of space — a billiards room, theater room, office and full wet bar.
The flooring in the dining room and kitchen is limestone reclaimed from castles and old manors in Europe. The company that provided the flooring salvages stone as it becomes available, sorting pieces by size, color and shape, and then creates custom layouts like a jigsaw puzzle, Wentworth said. (The pieces even came numbered to ensure they were placed in the room correctly.)
“You can see all the divots and different eyelets and different markings from previous uses going back possibly hundreds of years,” he said.
The penthouse also comes with seven parking spaces in the building’s covered, heated garage.
“300 Elks Park is one of the finest ski properties in all of Colorado — not only because itap a stone’s throw from some of the state’s best terrain, fishing, hiking, biking and world-class festivals and arts, but also because itap located in the center of historic and beautiful Telluride,” Wentworth said.
ABOUT THE AUCTION: The penthouse will hit the auction block at 10 a.m. Dec. 20 as part of Concierge Auctions’ winter portfolio sale. Bids will be accepted at a live auction in New York or via the company’s Instant Gavel app.
