Colossal $12 Million Colorado-Style Ski Lodge Makes a Mark With Its Very Unlikely Location Near Major City

A stunning five-bedroom, seven-bathroom ski lodge-style structure might conjure up images of Aspen, CO. But it’s actually far from the Western ski town, instead located in New York’s Hudson Valley, under two hours from Manhattan.

The grand 11,500-square-foot home in Millbrook was built in 2007. The massive logs with a 41-inch diameter used in its construction were assembled out West, then deconstructed and transported to its current location. The immense stone used for the retreat comes from Pennsylvania.

The colossal Colorado-style property first appeared on the market in 2022 for $11.95 million. It was relisted just days ago with the same asking price.

The 75-acre property includes the main house, a barn, and guest residences, perfect for overflow guests or a caretaker or as rental properties, the listing notes.

It’s “the most unique property on the Millbrook market,” the listing notes. Though it’s located on one of Millbrook’s country roads, it’s just a short drive to shops, restaurants, and other attractions.

Dramatic flair

The dramatic domicile features a gigantic great room with a vaulted 32-foot ceiling, an enormous stone fireplace, and oversized windows.

The chef’s kitchen is equipped with soapstone countertops and two sinks, and the 34-foot-long dining room is big enough to host large gatherings. Near the kitchen is a full-size pub, a den with another fireplace, and a chess room.

“The open floorplan lends itself to grand entertaining while offering enough niche areas to cozy-up in,” the listing notes.

Indeed, the property was designed for those who love to host. The listing notes that the formal dining room can seat 30 people.

The bedrooms are all en suite and located upstairs. They each come with a private covered porch. There are four full bathrooms and three powder rooms.

Amenities galore

The lower level has its own set of amenities, including a game room with a fireplace, an office with mahogany touches, and a music and recording studio. There’s also an indoor shooting range, a mudroom, and a four-car garage.

The crown jewel is the 2,700-square-foot deck, which features a supersized stone fireplace and hot tub.

Although the home looks old school, it’s equipped with all the comforts of modern living, including smart systems for lighting and security, a sound system, and radiant heat.

It comes with a generator, a built-in elevator shaft, and a lower-level ventilation system for those wanting to indulge in a cigar.
