Elite Traveler Winter 2019

Elite LuxuryHomes ELITE TRAVELER ROUNDS UP THE BEST HOMES TO INVEST IN THIS WINTER SEASON IN THE WORLD’S TOP SKI REGIONS AND MARBELLA, SPAIN. BY EMMA REYNOLDS Summit House, 9828 North Summit ViewDrive, Park City, Utah, USA A modern marvel, Summit House is found in the exclusive, gated community of Deer Crest Estates in one of the finest ski locations in the United States: Deer Valley. The seven-bedroom home is a 20,464-sq-ft wonder that feels more like a mini resort than it does a residence: On its expansive decks you will find a heated pool, an outdoor chef’s kitchen, a waterfall and a hot tub, and inside there is a bowling alley, sports courts, ski locker room, theater and even your own sports bar. Its interiors forgo the popular rustic look in favor of luxe natural materials, including glass, stone, marble and dark lacquered wood, with a modern design (the house is uniquely shaped in a curve). Enjoy views over the surrounding valleys and lake from the expansive outdoor terraces that wrap around nearly every edge of the house. Magnificent artwork, furniture that wouldn’t look out of place in a five-star hotel, and dramatic architecture and design make this one of the most coveted homes in Park City. Casteel Creek Retreat, 25 Casteel Creek Road, Edwards, Colorado, USA Just a short drive from Vail and Beaver Creek, Casteel Creek Retreat is your very own 439-acre private ranch hidden within thickets of towering pine trees in Edwards, Colorado. The ultra-private retreat can easily host dozens of guests: There is a 32,000-sq-ft main house, which is nothing short of an architectural masterpiece, and seven additional guest homes on the property (boasting a total of 13 additional bedrooms). The main home steals the show: There are eight bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a home theater, swimming pool, elevators, fitness facility, spa, hot tub, an on-property recreation center and plenty of room to land a helicopter from the nearby Eagle Airport. The house has a James Bond feel with rustic elegance seen best through its stone-and-wood exterior, granite, marble, exotic wood, copper and steel materials, all executed with a high design. The property also comes fully $25m. Contact Ben Fisher, real estate associate, ben.fisher@sothebysrealty.com, +1 435 962 0192, sothebysrealty.com
