This $100 Million Aspen Mansion Is The Most Expensive Winter Home In The US

If you’re tired of shelling out for a hotel whenever you go skiing in Aspen , there’s a certain real estate listing that might just interest you. It’s a 14,000-square-foot winter palace with ten bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, listed with a $100 million asking price that the Daily Mail says makes it “America’s most expensive winter home.”

Unfortunately for the property’s current owner, Detroit businessman Joel Tauber, the pricey and exclusive mansion has actually been on the market at that price since June of last year, but a buyer has yet to be found. But maybe some of the extra publicity around the property now will drum up some prospective new residents.

That won’t be easy, though, with such a giant price tag. And the property’s listing says that it’s one of just five single-family residences located on Aspen Mountain, of which this is “the most iconic,” so this is clearly not the kind of real estate listing that sells overnight. The listing adds:

“Held by the same family for decades, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own Aspen’s best address. From the Elevator bridge you enter the grand foyer on the main level. This level also features a gracious office with ensuite bath. The second level has a VIP guest suite. From the Foyer you access the additional three levels on the South wing of the home.”

The listing also likens the Aspen property to other one-of-a-kind pieces of luxury real estate, like “Georgica Pond in East Hampton, S. Ocean Blvd. in Palm Beach, or 220 Central Park South.” It’s a mansion for true ski buffs, with “greater than a football field of true ski-in, ski-out ski access,” but with enough luxury amenities to be a worthwhile place to live all-year-round, not that whoever owns such a property is likely to do so.

The home dates back to 1979 but was extensively renovated in 2015. Tauber bought it back in 1996 for just $9 million, and if it sells at its asking price it will set a price record for the area.

Paris’ Most Expensive Home Listing Is For A $280 Million Mansion Next To The Eiffel Tower

It sounds like a living situation that a small child would come up with: a house in Paris , right next to the Eiffel Tower . But a recent listing from Russian-based Kalinka Realty gives some lucky person the opportunity to make it a reality, provided they have $280 million to spend.

That asking price makes it the most expensive current home listing in all of Paris, and Kalinka International head Tatyana Burlakovskaya recently told Business Insider it’s worth every penny:

“This is an ideal purchase for investment and similar offers — within walking distance from the [Eiffel] Tower and with views of it…Such properties are called trophy [properties]. Possession of them is not so much a question of profit as the opportunity to get a unique asset into your collection — one of a kind.”

Kalinka Realty says that the mansion is currently owned by two elderly sisters who serve as “representatives of a rich French dynasty,” but the interior of the mansion has long remained cloaked in mystery, unknown to members of the public in France or elsewhere. But that hasn’t stopped a surge of interest from prospective buyers from creating a recent rise in the property’s asking price.

Located at Avenue de Suffren and Quai Branly, within walking distance of Paris’s most famous landmark, the six-story mansion counts various other public institutions, like international embassies and museums, among its neighbors.

The owners of the home have a strict policy of not allowing any photos of the inside to be published, so the only way to see the interior is to be a legitimate prospective buyer (or at least be able to fake it). And if it actually sells for its current asking price, it will join the ranks of the most expensive homes ever sold, not just in Paris, but the entire world.
