Stern-Designed Home in an Exclusive Aspen Enclave"},"content":{"rendered":"

Tucked away in Aspen, high above the Roaring Fork Valley, sits a striking retreat designed by the late postmodernist architect\u00a0Robert A.M. Stern<\/a>. Renowned for legendary luxury Manhattan towers like 15 Central Park West and 220 Central Park South, Stern plotted the sprawling home across 3.5 acres running crosswise along a raw rock face on Red Mountain\u2014an exclusive enclave nicknamed “Billionaire Mountain” due to its clutch of ultra-wealthy residents ranging from media mogul Byron Allen to Walmart heiress Ann Walton Kroenke.<\/p>\n

One of only three Stern-designed homes built in the Rocky Mountain resort town, the tawny-beige stucco and wood-trimmed structure hovers atop a native red sandstone base. A curving wall of glass fills the classically elegant interiors with natural light while framing views of Independence Pass and Mount Sopris over the\u00a0Elk Mountain range.<\/p>\n

Commissioned by Frederic “Rick” Bourke, cofounder of accessories and leather-goods brand\u00a0Dooney & Bourke<\/a>, the house was completed in the early 1990s. Per\u00a0The Wall Street Journal<\/a>, he and his wife, former ski racer Megan Bourke, have historically split their time between Aspen and Maine, where they own another Stern-designed home in Seal Harbor. However, after a bad spell of Covid-19 a few years ago, Rick now struggles with Aspen’s elevation, so the couple have decided to part with the custom estate for $70 million. Emery Holton\u00a0of\u00a0Saslove\u00a0& Warwick of Douglas Elliman hold\u00a0the listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spanning roughly 10,600 square feet, the palatial pad offers seven bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. Grand rooms on three levels are defined by soaring wood-beam ceilings and detailed millwork, while expansive stone terraces outside anchor an oversized heated swimming pool.<\/p>\n

A towering wood door leads into a soaring entry foyer, where a sweeping corridor branches off into the public entertaining and private sleeping wings. Standing out is a fireside living room, which connects to a wet bar and a step-down billiards room. Other highlights include a formal dining room; an eat-in kitchen; a morning room; and a lower-level fitness area with an inground hot tub. The private quarters, meanwhile, feature a primary suite with a travertine-clad bath. Rounding it all off is an attached three-car garage, plus an annual\u00a0$3,983\u00a0association fee covering essential subdivision management.<\/p>\n

Bourke’s onetime Red Mountain neighbor was businessman Viktor Kozeny, according to\u00a0WSJ. In 2009, Bourke was convicted of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for engaging in a scheme with Kozeny to bribe Azerbaijan government officials, spending a year and one day in prison starting in 2013. The couple is ready for a complete change in scenery, eying winters in Hawaii.<\/p>\n
