Tucked away in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain high country, amid a former Victorian-era mining camp, sits a striking residential marvel. Designed by Hugh Newell Jacobsen—the late modernist master known for creating homes for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Meryl Streep, and Rachel “Bunny” Mellon—the contemporary estate rests on a 35-acre ridge in the exclusive Gray Head enclave, just 20 minutes outside Telluride.
Executed in the architect’s trademark pavilion style, a series of 10 interlocking, steep-roofed pavilions crafted of quarried limestone, steel, and glass wrap around a circular motor court. Elongated windows across the structure fill the airy, minimalist interiors with natural light, while framing views of Wilson Peak and the San Juan Mountains.
Completed in 2011, the property was first offered for sale in 2020 at nearly $15 million. It has now returned to the market for $12.75 million, with Stewart Seeligson and Kristen Muller of The Agency Telluride representing the listing.

Spanning roughly 6,500 square feet, the sprawling residence offers four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a powder room. Radiant-cooled floors employing a sophisticated network of sensors automatically monitor and adjust each pavilion for rapid shifts in temperature.
A towering wood door leads into the soaring entry foyer. From there, corridors on either side flow to the main entertaining wing on one side and the private sleeping quarters on the other. Throughout, slate floors and sliding glass doors spill onto expansive terraces.

The living room, anchored by a monumental floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, progresses to a dining area, a sleek kitchen with a breakfast area, a bookshelf-lined study, and a subterranean movie theater accessible via a spiral staircase. The private wing, meanwhile, features four bedrooms, including a primary suite with a fireplace, a dressing area, and a limestone-clad bath. There’s also a two-car garage.
Rounding it all off is a monthly $1,034 HOA fee availing owners to Gray Head’s amenities, which include 16 miles of private trails for hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing, along with tennis courts and a fishing pond stocked with trout. A restored 19th-century cabin also serves as a gathering place for both casual get-togethers and organized community events.
