BRECKENRIDGE — The most expensive home sale in Summit County history occurred last week with the transfer of an $8.285 million residence near the base of Peak 8.
The 6,565-square-foot residence sold for about $2.7 million more than the previous record-breaker, which occurred in July 2008. Both are in Timber Trail subdivision.
Transactions for the $2 million-and-above segment of local homes in 2009 were actually up from 2008; 23 were sold in 2009 relative to 21 the previous year.
The $8.285 million home is on one of three lots directly on Trygve's ski run at Breckenridge Ski Resort. Listing broker for the property was Andy Clapp of Breckenridge Associates Real Estate.
Mary Brooks with RE/MAX was the buyer's agent.
The home includes seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, four fireplaces, a three-car garage, three laundry rooms and several top-of-the-line finishes — such as custom iron work fixtures, stained glass, wide-plank Norwegian Elm flooring and Smarthome automation features, according to a Breckenridge Associates Real Estate press release.
There's also a 2,000-square-foot heated patio with a view of the resort's Horseshoe Bowl.
“This extraordinary mountain estate is Breckenridge luxury at its best,” according to the press release.
The ski-in, ski-out home was sold Dec. 30 by Patrick Roth to Ty A. and Kimberly C. Pennington, according to Catherine Maybury with the Summit County Assessor's Office.
