Resting along the banks of the Blue River and just moments from downtown Breckenridge, The Castle on the Blue is a one-of-a-kind European-inspired estate that seamlessly blends the elegance of Old-World architecture with the warmth of Western living. Completed in 2009, this architectural masterpiece offers an unmatched level of craftsmanship, design, and natural beauty. Step through one of the hand-carved 8-foot wooden doors into a home where every detail has been carefully curated—from locally hand-hewn timber beams and river rock construction to hundreds of lights subtly embedded in stone archways. The home’s timeless design features 13 unique fireplaces sourced from Spain, France, New York, New Orleans, and beyond, all set atop mesquite-inlaid stone and rare hardwood floors imported from Argentina. The award-winning, native-landscaped grounds surround the estate with sculpted gardens, winding stone paths, sculptures, and tranquil seating areas along the river. Every en-suite bedroom opens to its own private deck with views of the river, gardens, or surrounding mountains, while spa-inspired bathrooms feature copper soaking tubs, glowing onyx sinks, antique vanities, and hand-cut stone medallions. The expansive chef’s kitchen is a work of art, highlighted by a handcrafted La Cornue black and brass range, imported copper sinks, oversized Bosch refrigeration, and a built-in Miele espresso bar. A hearth room and great room with dual stone fireplaces flow seamlessly into the dining area, anchored by a 14-seat table overlooking the river. Whether you're hosting guests in refined luxury with a glass elevator for convenience, enjoying the tranquil sounds of the river, or exploring the storybook grounds, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Breckenridge’s most captivating and celebrated homes.
