The most expensive house for sale in the country hit the housing market in Aspen last week, a 74.1-acre property listed at $300 million.
The property’s residence, referred to as the Little Lake Lodge, has 18 bedrooms, 20 full bathrooms, and four partial bathrooms. It was built by California billionaires Stewart and Lynda Resnick, who co-own The Wonderful Company and founded the Aspen Institute’s Resnick Center for Herbert Bayer Studies. The Resnicks bought the property, located at 161 Stillwater Road off Highway 82 heading toward Independence Pass, from the Benedict family.

Wild has previous history on the property — her husband was the property manager for five years starting in 1996. She noted the architect used for the Little Lake Lodge was the same architect who designed the original Wilderness Lodge at Disney World, Peter Dominick.
