ASPEN'S $69 MILLION BOND VILLAIN LAIR
Every ski town has the same house: timber, stone, antler chandelier, a hot tub with a view of other people's hot tubs. Then there is 110 Coach Road, which looks like the place where the villain explains his plan to Bond before leaving him alone in a room with a shark tank.
It is listed at $69 million.

"Unpopular opinion," the realtor who posts as @thetradingchick wrote on X. "Spending $69M on a house that looks like a Bond villain's HQ is infinitely sexier than buying another generic ski chalet." She has a point. Here is what the money buys.
The lair
- Address: 110 Coach Road, Aspen, inside the private Double Bar X Ranch, 2.5 miles from downtown.
- Size: 9,339 square feet, five bedrooms, on 3.57 acres. The total includes a standalone guest house with its own kitchenette.
- Outside: another 1,336 square feet of covered, heated outdoor living space, three patios, an in-ground hot tub and a fire pit.
- Water: a pond on the property and river access. The house sits above Maroon Creek, near where it meets the Roaring Fork River. The listing site's pitch: "just a fly cast away."
- Views: Independence Pass, Aspen Mountain, Mount Hayden, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Red Butte.
- Built: 2021, by Hansen Construction. Designed by Zone 4 Architects, with interiors finished by Piet Boon Studios.
The listing calls it a "sprawling brutalist compound" of "poured cement fortitude, exaggerated windows and sliding doors." Inside, per the property's own site: a wine cellar that doubles as a safe room, a media room, a sauna, a private office, a mudroom with lockers, a catering area and a separate prep kitchen. It comes furnished, according to the MLS listing.
A safe room behind the wine. You can't write it better than that.
The math
- The property last sold in March 2015, before the house went up, for $3.95 million, per public records on the Coldwell Banker listing page. The ask is about 17 times that.
- That works out to roughly $7,388 a square foot.
- Property taxes in 2025: $74,714. HOA dues: $1,875 a month.
- It went on the market at the end of August and topped Realtor.com's list of the week's most expensive homes for sale in the U.S., ahead of a Surf Club condo and an oceanfront Ocean Ridge estate.
The ranch it sits on
Double Bar X used to be cattle land. The Zoline family ran a small cattle operation for some 50 years on about 124 acres along Old Stage Road. In 2006 the heirs sold it for $48.5 million, which The Aspen Times reported was a record for open land in Aspen. The buyers already had approval for 13 homes. All 13 lots were reserved within two weeks, at $4 million to $13 million each.
Today it is a 120-acre private ranch with 13 parcels and a shared 17-acre nature preserve along the river. It backs onto the Maroon Creek Club, Aspen's private golf and tennis club.
Who to call
The listing agents are Ryan Elston of Christie's International Real Estate Aspen Snowmass and John Whipple of Whipple & Brewster. Per the property site, showings need 24 hours' notice.
A generic ski chalet says you made money. A concrete fortress with a safe room behind the wine says you'd rather nobody asked how.
