Telluride CO Luxury Home Rental – “A Place In The Sun”
We are extremely happy to begin the new year with what probably is one of North America’s finest ski resort vacation rental properties.
Telluride, CO (PRWEB) January 09, 2012
A new luxury destination is born at the Telluride, Colorado ski resort, marveling the sophisticated vacation rental traveler. Gondola Resorts, a regional leader in providing vacation rental homes in Colorado, Utah and Florida, announced this week the addition of a new rental property to its rapidly growing vacation portfolio.
The vacation rental home, located in the Mountain Village region of Telluride resort, offers 13,836 square foot of living space, 6 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. “This is all part of a master plan to expand further into the luxury rental market”, says Jennifer Dunleavy, the company’s Director of Marketing.
“Named, A Place In The Sun, this newly built, ultra luxurious Mountain Village estate sits in absolute seclusion and privacy in Telluride’s Mountain Village. The 6 bedroom, 6.5 bathroom contemporary residence offers discerning vacationers the ultimate in ski-in ski-out access and mountain elegance,” Dunleavy says.
The Gondola Resorts’ website summarizes the property as nestled amongst almost three acres of old growth spruce with ski-in/ski-out access which enables snowboarders and skiers access Bridges ski slope. The description goes on to boast about the multiple outdoor entertaining areas, indoor and outdoor living spaces, and the natural environment. According to Telluride’s MLS real estate listings, A Place In The Sun ranks as one of the largest vacation rental homes in the area.
“It’s been an extraordinary experience to witness first hand the expansion of this magnitude at Telluride. We are extremely happy to begin the new year with what probably is one of North America’s finest ski resort vacation rental properties. Guests will find the new rental additions designed to bring back to life the lively ambiance of vacationing in the mountains which will make the travel experience to Telluride even more memorable,” said Gino Malara, General Manager of Gondola Resorts.
“To highlight the dramatic expansion at Gondola Resorts, guests renting any 5-9 bedroom luxury ski-in ski-out home will be treated to four-free adult lift tickets to Telluride ski resort”, according to Malara. The “mountain gift package program” was launched January 1 by Gondola Resorts as a promotion for the remaining 2011/12 ski season. Ski and mountain lovers can reserve the “Mountain Gift Package” by calling Gondola Resorts’ reservations desk. The program will not be available online.
Starting at $5000 USD per night during ski season, A Place In The Sun includes accommodations with an exercise room, home theater, elevator, 8 fireplaces, gas grill station, library and a guest cottage.

Forbes Ranks Telluride #3 of all US Ski Resorts
December 13th, 2011The top 5 ski resorts in the United States
3. Telluride, Colorado (PAF = 89): If you’ve been to Telluride, you understand why it’s on this list. Seeing this town’s main street framed against one of the more magnificent box canyons in the world, the spire of its old courthouse saluting a battalion of serrated San Juan peaks, pays for the plane ticket. As for that plane ride, Telluride has a reputation for being hard to reach. It’s a tag that gets Dave Riley, the CEO of the resort, bristling. “It’s simply not true,” he says. “It’s easier to get in here than a lot of other Colorado resorts, and the drive is better.”
Riley speaks the truth. Landing in Montrose leaves skiers with a 50-minute car ride to the promised land, a path that winds through the charming town of Ridgeway while passing by some of the most ridiculous vistas outside of Switzerland. One of the choicest spots travelers pass is the Double RL Ranch, belonging, of course, to billionaire Ralph Lauren. Compare that with the white-knuckle drive, next to semis and thousands of other skiers, up I-70 from Denver to Colorado’s Summit County. And once you’re in Telluride, the need for a car falls away. There’s no better Main Street than Telluride’s in the Rockies outside of Aspen’s and Park City’s. Telluride’s old town is connected to the upper town of Mountain Village (it’s an actual town) by a gondola that runs from dawn to midnight and is free for all. There are many mountains you can visit that, technically, don’t require you to have a car. But none of them give you the pedestrian nirvana that Telluride does.
Telluride’s Luxury Real Estate is much like Christie’s Art – - Both are great investments

POST-WAR AND CONTEMPORARY ART EVENING SALE REALIZES $247,597,000 (£153,510,140 / €178,269,840)
ROY LICHTENSTEIN’S I CAN SEE THE WHOLE ROOM!…AND THERE’S NOBODY IN IT! FETCHES $43,202,500–A WORLD AUCTION RECORD FOR THE ARTIST
16 NEW WORLD AUCTION RECORDS
Last evening’s Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale at Christie’s in New York achieved $247,597,000 (£153,510,140 / €178,269,840), demonstrating the continuing appeal of this category among collectors worldwide. Thirty-three works sold above the $1 million mark and 16 new world auction records were established. In total, sell-through percentages were very strong, with 90% sold by lot and 87% by value.
“The world’s top 10 collectors were present in the saleroom tonight, and a global community of collectors was bidding aggressively on works by the preeminent artists in this category,” said Brett Gorvy, Chairman and International Head of Post-War and Contemporary Art at Christie’s. “This is an extremely strong sale result.”
The top lot of the sale was Roy Lichtenstein’s I Can See the Whole Room…and There’s Nobody in It!, which set a new auction record of $43,202,500. Painted in 1961, it is one of the earliest and most important of Lichtenstein’s Pop Art pictures, formerly in the collection of the pioneering collectors Emily and Burton Tremaine. The previous record for a Lichtenstein work was Ohhh … Alright…, 1964, which sold at Christie’s New York in November 2010 for $42.6 million (£26,785,550 / €31,105,800).

Telluride / 30 Days and Counting….
November 1st, 2011Friends of Telluride ~
Thought you might enjoy a quick update and hope all is well. Look forward to seeing you back in Telluride this winter. If you would like to give us a call with your travel plans, we would be more than happy to assist you with accommodations.
Summer and fall are behind us as we await the first major winter storm later this week. Medium term predictions are for significant snows for early ski season, so break out the winter gear and make your reservations early. Local property management companies are reporting strong bookings, well ahead of the 2010-2011 ski season. Below is our most recent market update and airline schedule for your review.
Despite a mid summer lull in sales activity, largely the result of the Euro debt crisis and financial market volatility, the Telluride marketplace appears to be holding up well. Sales in the month of September of $24.6M approached those of September 2010 of $29M. Transactions YTD are up by 20% with the Historic Town of Telluride demonstrating the greatest strength in the overall market. Total transactions within the Town increased by 14% with 15 sales above $2M, at an average price per incident of sale of $3,050,000. The average price per square foot registered was $926 with a high achieved at $1,238 PSF. Overall, the dynamics of investor interest is shifting from a total “pull back” experienced in 2008/2009 as potential buyers are looking to place resort properties in “family portfolios” for long term use and enjoyment. Having stabilized, our marketplace with limited inventory and significant ownership equity, presents a safe haven in an otherwise volatile global economy.
If you have an interest in learning more about “best buys” in any market category, send us an email and we will send along our top picks.
With direct jet service from 7 major cities across the US and world-wide connections, Telluride is easier than ever to get to. Travelers are served via Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) and Telluride Regional Airport (TEX) – - see schedule and air map below.
See you on the slopes this winter and please do not hesitate to call us with any real estate or Telluride related questions.
Best,
TD Smith and Chris Sommers

Aspen condo sells for $2,222 a square foot
September 14th, 2011A luxury condominium in Aspen sold for $3.595 million, or $2,222 a square foot, in what’s being held up to show continuing interest in high-end properties in the mountain town, The Aspen Times reports.
Local real estate brokers were convinced the price per square foot would prevent anyone from buying the 1,618-square-foot condo, but three offers were submitted in the same week.
