Hot Properties: 4 Listings Heating up the Market This Month

Denverites looking to spend a cool $1 million or more on their next home have no shortage of options. According to the latest Denver Metro Association of Realtors’ (DMAR) Market Report, new listings in that sector increased by more than three percent in August compared to a month prior, leaving more than six months of inventory (read: the estimated number of months it would take to sell all the currently listed homes if no new properties were added).

“Buyers feel no rush to make a move,” says Amanda Snitker, DMAR Market Trends Committee member and metro Denver realtor. “Mortgage rates have less impact at this price point above $1 million than other sectors of the market, although the declining rates are still providing some relief…Sellers in this price segment must be patient with the timeline and practical when pricing their homes.”

Below, a handful of eye-catching listings simmering on the local luxury real estate market, from a timber cabin in Evergreen to a stately mansion in the Morgan’s Historic District of Denver.

The Timber Cabin

6425 Kenya Drive, Evergreen ($1.15 million)

Set on two wooded acres, this three-bedroom home offers privacy and natural beauty. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, which opens to a secluded deck. The primary suite stretches across the top level and includes a balcony and a soaking tub. A downstairs family room—replete with a pellet stove and custom-built bar—lends itself to entertaining and opens up to a deck, a new hot tub, and a fenced-in backyard. Situated in Evergreen Highlands at about 8,000 feet of elevation, the home has access to neighborhood amenities including pickleball, volleyball, and basketball courts.

The Denver Tudor

5530 E. 6th Ave. Parkway, Denver ($2.195 million)

Built on the corner lot of Holly Street and East Sixth Avenue Parkway, this circa-1940 Tudor charms with its brick exterior, mature landscaping, and flagstone walkway. Inside the 4,816-square-foot house, elevated details—arched entryways, chandeliers, and built-in shelving—point to style and craftsmanship. The updated kitchen includes color-matched appliances and a cute breakfast nook. The great room, flagstone patio, and plenty of flex space are ideal for entertaining. Perfect for those interested in practicing their backhands, the property is near the Denver Tennis Club in the Hilltop neighborhood. Listed by Dave Edwards with Key Real Estate Group LLC

The Shiny and New

1106 Northwood Lane, Castle Rock ($3.5 million)

This new build spans nearly 5,000 square feet and is getting a lot of clicks for its thoughtful design elements. Pine trees surround the property, and a lawn, dog run, and stone walkway (not to mention the dedicated dog wash) are perfect for pup owners. Multiple levels of outdoor lounge areas entice entertainers, while wine and beverage fridges—along with Thermador appliances and an enormous walk-in pantry—captivate cooking enthusiasts. Tucked away in the gated Village at Castle Pines neighborhood, this home also offers buyers the chance to purchase a golf membership at Country Club at Castle Pines (which currently has a two-year waitlist).

The Luxe Georgian

860 Vine St., Denver ($7 million)

Historic home lovers, look no further than this circa-1921 estate. Freshly renovated in 2020 by the property’s owner and head of One Bleecker Interiors Allie McMunn, this two-story brick Georgian house (which was featured in 5280 in 2022) spans nearly 9,000 square feet. From the marble flooring and handpainted wallpaper in the foyer to the 1,500-bottle wine cellar, aspirational details fill every corner. The impressive study balances the original dark walls and built-in bookshelves with a warm fireplace, crisp white ceiling, and large windows. One block from Cheesman Park and Denver Botanic Gardens, this house may as well be out of a fairy tale. Listed by Rebecca Cooper with Milehimodern
