A breathtaking Colorado estate featuring a remarkable subterranean car gallery built directly into the mountainside has officially hit the market with a staggering $12.5 million price tag. Set on nearly 7 pristine acres along the eighth fairway of the exclusive Castle Pines Golf Club, the property at 3 Elk Pointe Lane in The Village at Castle Pines spans an expansive 13,800 square feet. This architectural masterpiece is now poised to become the highest-priced residential sale in the history of Castle Rock, capturing the attention of luxury real estate enthusiasts and car collectors alike.<\/p>\n
The grand residence was commissioned by homeowners Lewis and Rebecca Kling, who collaborated closely with renowned architect Don Ruggles and luxury builder Montare to bring their exacting vision to life. According to listing agent Stacie Chadwick of LIV Sotheby\u2019s International Realty\u2014who shares the listing with colleague Justin Joseph\u2014the current owners have not felt the need to make a single update since construction was completed 16 years ago, a testament to the timeless precision and foresight of their original design.<\/p>\n
That meticulous attention to detail is immediately apparent from the moment guests step through the front doors. Visitors are greeted by an 8-foot-wide grand gallery that stretches 140 feet beneath soaring 21-foot ceilings. The dramatic hallway is lined with rich walnut floors and elegant limestone pillars, ultimately drawing the eye toward a striking floor-to-ceiling wall of glass at the far end. <\/p>\n
Chadwick notes that the architect thoughtfully positioned the residence on its nearly 7-acre site to capture and frame the surrounding natural landscape. In fact, the positioning of the home was adjusted by mere inches during the construction phase to ensure that majestic Pikes Peak would be perfectly framed through the exact center of the entry gallery. <\/p>\n
Throughout the interior, high-end materials create a seamless sense of luxury, with solid walnut carrying through the flooring, doors, custom cabinetry, and intricate coffered ceilings. A dramatic two-way water feature accompanies a floating walnut-and-steel staircase that connects the home’s various levels. Comfort and ambiance are prioritized throughout the sprawling floor plan, which boasts a total of 11 fireplaces, split evenly with seven located inside the residence and four positioned across the outdoor living areas.<\/p>\n
The formal dining room offers seating for 12 beneath three sparkling crystal chandeliers and opens directly into a temperature-controlled, 400-bottle wine room designed for serious collectors. Nearby, the gourmet kitchen is equipped with top-tier Gaggenau appliances, generous bar seating for six, and a clever disappearing television that rises smoothly into view when needed.<\/p>\n
For the homeowners, the primary suite serves as a private sanctuary complete with its own fireplace, a dedicated private deck overlooking the landscape, and an opulent bathroom featuring a three-sided steam shower. Four additional lower-level en suite bedrooms each open directly onto a private deck or patio, seamlessly integrating the home’s roughly 8,000 square feet of expansive outdoor living spaces with every single room in the structure.<\/p>\n
Entertainment and wellness are woven deeply into the fabric of the estate. The lower level houses a private home theater equipped with a 108-inch screen, a dedicated fitness suite featuring an integrated sauna, and a secure panic room for peace of mind. A sophisticated Crestron and Vantage home automation system effortlessly controls approximately 620 individual interior and exterior light fixtures throughout the sprawling property.<\/p>\n
Despite the wealth of luxurious interior amenities, the true showpiece of the estate remains hidden from plain view. A roughly 3,400-square-foot subterranean gallery is carved directly into the mountainside, engineered to accommodate about 10 collector vehicles. Automobiles are transported effortlessly into the subterranean space from the circular outdoor drive via a heavy-duty hydraulic elevator. Designed to function as an upscale entertainment lounge as much as a garage, the subterranean gallery features its own dedicated kitchen, a wet bar, a cozy fireplace, and a private bathroom. The space is further elevated by Hermes-inspired etched glass elements and opens through glass doors to an outdoor fire pit overlooking the emerald green of the golf course fairway.<\/p>\n
The exterior grounds are equally impressive, featuring a winding garden path that leads to a whimsical, heated treehouse tucked away on the property. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the commissioned sculptures by noted Colorado artist Jim Vilona, which are thoughtfully positioned to dot the expansive natural grounds. The estate’s exceptional pedigree has been widely recognized by industry professionals; it was named a finalist for the 2016 Colorado Homes & Lifestyles Home of the Year, while its intricate landscaping earned a prestigious Grand Award from the National Association of Landscape Professionals. Furthermore, outdoor spaces across the property have earned recognition from the American Society of Interior Designers.<\/p>\n
Residents of The Village at Castle Pines enjoy access to an exclusive array of community amenities, including two championship golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, extensive walking and hiking trails, and professional-grade tennis and pickleball courts. <\/p>\n
Reflecting on the rare offering, Chadwick emphasizes that the estate represents a harmonious convergence of disciplines. The combination of visionary architecture, sophisticated engineering, fine art integration, absolute privacy, and extraordinary amenities culminates in a property that would be exceptionally difficult, if not impossible, to replicate in today’s market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
