As some of you may know, I'm looking to purchase a residence in Aspen, Colorado. I have narrowed the choices down to two estates:
Price: $13.5 million
Beds: 4
Baths: 5 and 2 half baths
Square feet: 7,243This dramatic stone estate is set on eight acres overlooking Aspen, with ski out access to Buttermilk Mountain -- home of the X Games, ESPN's annual extreme winter sports showcase.
Some of the home's noteworthy features include 28-foot ceilings embellished with cherry wood trim, heated floors, an elevator, built-in surround sound speakers and a snowmelting system at the front and back entrances as well as the garage, which means no shoveling.
The master bedroom suite offers everything you need to recuperate from a hard day on the halfpipe, including a sitting room, kitchenette and separate his-and-her baths. There is a Jacuzzi tub set in an alcove under a large picture window that features dramatic views of Aspen, Buttermilk and Hunter Creek Valley.
and
Price: $19.5 million
Beds: 5
Baths: 5 and 2 half baths
Square feet: 14,171Set on nearly six wooded acres with five ponds and meandering streams just three miles east of Aspen, this grand estate is all about the little details. There's custom stonework, mahogany walls and floors as well as Spanish onyx and European marble finishes. Other notable features include a home theater, exercise room, separate caretaker apartment and a private gated entry.
And just nearby is Independence Pass, one of the highest points in the Rockies. Aside from stellar skiing, other popular activities in the area include hiking, mountain climbing, horseback riding, fishing, and visiting the historic ghost town of Independence.
which would you choose?

If you're gonna go, go big.
- I say neither. That many bathrooms to clean? *shudder*gadg3tg1rl

The second one I like, but you may need to get rid of some of those irritating trees. Plus, consider draining that pond and filling it with concrete. It would be a lot easier to park and get to the front door that way.

"I began my career on Wall Street in 1961" ...So that would put birth around 1941, because you are obviously a prodigy.... So does that make you about 67 now? Aren't you a little old to be hanging out on QBN posting about how cool your gear is? Don't they have an AARP forum for you?
