I would love to live in guest house

Here is very great the price

Well it's funny how people always think that the grass is greener somewhere else because many foreigners from around the globe, INCLUDING France and Switzerland buy vacation homes in America , Canada and other countries. It's just life...

I will buy it for you

@aa1944: I was wondering what was going on with that as well!! 😂😂

A lodging structure that is either adjacent to an accessible ski slope or is close enough to be an easy walk while wearing ski boots, would be my definition. As the name says, access is in both directions, skiing into the property from a slope or skiing out of the property to a slope. "Ski-in, ski-out" may not be perfect, e.g. you may have to walk up-hill going out, or ski back through a non-resort trail. In the case of this property it appears to be flat going either direction and only one property away from the slope, darn near perfect.

@@karlk9316 Thanks for the explanation, but I have to admit I'm still a bit confused. Seems to me that definition would apply to pretty much every house anywhere near a ski slope. The term just seems weird to me. Following that logic, you could also call every beachfront property a "swim-in swim-out" property, hehe. The point being, calling it "slope adjacent" or "slope side" or something like that, would seem more sensible to me.

@@TrangleC It means that skiers at all levels i.e. family with kids can get on and off skiable snow without any struggle i e. no long walks carrying equipment, driving, searching for parking space, taking a bus etc. Any limitations would be also mentioned i.e. ski in ski out in good snow conditions, or for advanced skiers etc. if access is tricky or on a difficult slope. Any other definition wouldn't tell you that you can ski off from the house directly without trouble.

It means you can easily walk or ski to the lift in less than a minute or two. No parking or bus required. It's like having front row seats at a concert.

it's in Vail, you expect a bargain?

@@jeanettewasick2156 No one is gonna buy it for that price, not even a billionaire, doesn't matter where it is and Vail is kinda in the middle of nowhere from anything that matters anyway. It's basically going to be just a 3rd or 4th "home". I find it funny that they slap on these ridiculous price tags that have at least 50% of hot air, or in this case cold air, I guess. It was sold in 2008 for $12.75 million, how has it magically almost tripled in value in 13 years?

@@mrand3r50n3 sounds like plenty of housing markets since 2008

@@mrand3r50n3 : How has it tripled in value in 13 years?? That is real estate 101. It is what it is! Also, you are WRONG. Someone will surely buy the home. Whether they purchase it for above or below it's listing price, it WILL sell. Also, Vail doesn't need to be near a major city. It is a lifestyle, and Vail has what it needs for people to be able to enjoy living there, especially because many of the homes are second homes, or vacation homes. People come and go. Lastly, it's not around the corner, but it's not ridiculously far from the Denver metro area either.

Just a follow up to this... The home sold for a bit over $30 million in 2022. It's a ski in/out home in one of the better ski resort towns in the country, AND it has walking access to the town. This is a huge deal. The owners can have some drinks and not need to worry about getting home. In most ski in/out properties, you don't have that luxury. And vail isn't chocked full of Ubers. If you're not walking, you're not drinking. I'm guessing it _was_ purchased by a billionaire. And they probably did 10 million worth of renovations to it to make it theirs. So it's probably closer to a 40 million dollar home now (at least what someone was willing to pay for it). Location is all that matters. There are only so many lots in Vail. And even fewer that are that big and close to town. Sure, you can build a huge home for cheaper on the other side of i70 but then you need to drive into town and more importantly, drive to go skiing. At that point, telluride looks a lot more appealing. Nope, this house is a nearly _perfect_ location. And that's why it's worth so much. The house might only be a 10-15 million dollar home, but the lot it sits on is worth more than that.

Well, yeah. It's as big as some luxury hotels. Most of us wouldn't be able to afford the heating much less the mortgage.
