A Castle Rock mansion once named “Colorado Home of the Year” sold for $6.3 million last month, topping November’s local home sales.

Designed by Denver-based BOSS.architecture and Semple Brown Design, the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home was named Home of the Year by Colorado Homes & Lifestyles magazine in 2012.

The home has an airy, refined feel with soaring ceilings, large open rooms, and extensive glass walls. Interior highlights include a remodeled kitchen, seven fireplaces, a 4,000-square-foot primary suite and a 3,000-bottle wine storage room.

A water wall with meticulously planted rows of native blue fescue highlights the full-story outdoor entry hall. Landscape features include a glass-walled garden studio, a koi pond with waterfalls, a designated pet area, and two gas fire troughs along the back patio.

Brittany Morgan with Compass – Denver and Ronda Courtney with RE/MAX Leaders listed the 11,147-square-foot Castle Rock home on Oct. 24 with an asking price of $7 million.
