7. 680 Hawn Ln, Telluride, CO 81435 (above)
Home for sale — $20,500,000
Coloradans manage to meld the rugged outdoors with home design so well that you forget wild animals could be roaming just outside the door. “Pa Gomo” (means “on the mountain” in Shona) is sculpted into the elements around it. The master suite and adjacent patio float just above a pond. And once the curtains are swung open, you wake up to majestic views of the San Juan Mountain Range.

Home for sale — $35,750,000
You can never go wrong with classic sophistication — especially with a grand fireplace as the bedroom’s centerpiece. This 16,000-sq ft Tuscan-style estate has been featured on VH1′s “Celebrity Real Estate Splurges” as one of the top four estates for sale in the U.S. Another perk of this home: it is being sold furnished.

9. 3155 E Harrison Ave, Coeur D Alene, ID 83814 (above)
Home for sale — $17,500,000
Hmm, there’s something about these rich, black walls that make a bedroom cozy and mysterious — do you agree? This is the third bedroom in our list with rich, black appointments. While the bed looks comfortably inviting, the boxed-beam ceiling and fireplace in the corner add richness to the environment.

10. 1031 Summit Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 (above)
Home for sale — $16,000,000
This bedroom feels more like L.L. Bean than Beverly Hills, but that’s because it is one small part of a spacious, 7,187 sq ft “contemporary farmhouse” in the prestigious 90210 area code. Vaulted ceilings and a fireplace make this master a cozy den and the added bonus is an adjacent sitting room.
