For sale: dreamy, rustic property in mountains, with enough space for everyone you love to come live with you forever.
For a mere $29.9 million, you could own this unbelievable fairytale-like compound near Aspen, and believe it or not, that's a bargain! Originally priced at $50 million, the gorgeous partially furnished Circle R Ranch spans 244 acres, featuring six uniquely designed single family homes (and room for three more), state-of-the-art infrastructure and amenities, a horse stable, a pool, two ponds, tennis courts, a 500-tree evergreen farm, and tons of mountain charm. And get this: removing a certain book off the shelf even triggers the opening of a magic secret door. “It’s right out of a novel,” Andrew Ernemann, a listing agent with Sotheby’s International Realty, told The Denver Post, referring to the property's main house. “That particular house has a lot of really unique features that you would read about or see in a movie.” [gallery columns="2" ids="26317,26321"] The Circle R Ranch has been on the market for a little over two years. So why hasn't it sold? Well, the best we can figure is that the people (like me) who want to live like Snow White simply don't have $29.9 million at hand. But just check out these photos. I mean, with multiple home structures located throughout the property (including a total of 22 bedrooms, 18 baths, and five half-baths), there's room for my husband and me (dibs on the main house!) ... [gallery columns="2" ids="26307,26322"] And my parents ...

And with its easy accessibility to multiple recreational opportunities (being adjacent to national forest land on three sides), the Circle R Ranch is seriously more than you could ever hope for in terms of a Colorado paradise.
So what are you waiting for? Um, $29.9 million, I suppose. But if you have that kind of cash lying around, go for it! Life is short, after all. Just don't forget to set aside a little house on the property for me -- as a finder's fee, you know. This one will do just fine:
