A Brand-New $29.8 Million Home in Boulder Comes With Both Indoor and Outdoor Pools

The seven-bedroom, 11-bath Colorado dwelling also has a movie theater and an infrared sauna.

Colorado may be better known for its hiking and skiing than for its swimming, but a Boulder estate that just hit the market is a water lover’s paradise.

The seven-bedroom, 11-bath abode is a new build from Surround Architecture and builder Tom Stanko. Listed at $29.8 million, it’s the most expensive home currently for sale in Boulder, with Steve Remmert at Compass handling the eye-catching listing. While all sorts of amenities sit among the 1.3-acre lot, the real highlight is the two pools—one indoor and the other outdoor—so you can paddle about at any time of the year.

The primary bathroom comes with a huge infrared sauna.

The interiors are nothing to scoff at, either. The glass-encased front door leads you into the great room, which feels even more expansive thanks to 25-foot tongue-and-groove ceilings and panoramic windows. The kitchen sports two islands—one steel, one quartz—and a walnut breakfast nook for casual meals. Here on the main floor, you’ll also find a mudroom with walnut built-ins, an office space, a gym, and the indoor pool, which sits beneath a wood-beamed ceiling alongside a bone-colored stacked stone wall.

The primary suite, also on the main level, is anchored by a dual-sided fireplace. And when the weather’s warm enough, retractable glass walls open up to the yard. Custom closets have space for all your clothes, and the spa-like bathroom sports marble vanities and indoor and outdoor showers (the inside one is steam equipped), plus a full infrared sauna big enough to invite some friends. Three en suite bedrooms are upstairs, with another two on the lower level.

The lower-level theater has comfy lounge seating with convenient cup holders.

On the bottom floor, you’ll find another of the home’s standouts: a state-of-the-art movie theater with a 13.5-foot Stewart screen, lounge seating, and, snacks being one of the most important parts of movie watching, a refreshment area. 

Along with a gas fireplace and a Lynx grill, the outdoor pool is accompanied by an indoor-outdoor hot tub. While the Boulder home is undeniably impressive when it comes to both price and amenities, it may be bested by Colorado’s most expensive home for sale, a Vail mansion listed at $78 million that includes a whopping 11 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms, and not just two but three swimming pools.
