Breckenridge's Shock Hill Lodge & Spa, located at the midway station of the new BreckConnect Gondola, offered 15 units ranging from $1.1 million to $2.75 million (one to three bedroom units), which sold out in 10 minutes when they went on sale. The developer then decided to release the 15 units in phase two, which sold out be the end of the day. Units in phases three through five will be released at an undetermined later date.
As the luxury trend continues, people are looking for smaller, more high-end homes. People are spending more per square foot on their homes, because they want high-end appliances and finishing touches.
Some of the land, such as Shock Hill, simply demands high-end homes, with its stunning views. The project will include a private spa for owners as well as concierge, shuttle and food services. Cucumber Gulch, a protected wetlands habitat that separates the town from the ski resort is another plus to homeowners.
Developers call the design "rustic zen" because it incorporates the tradition of national park architecture with a sleek, international flair. Massive logs meet contemporary steel, creating a clean design. Privacy is also an added luxury, thanks to varied topography, which gives 85% of the owner's views of the mountains, while others view forest land. The Shock Hill Lodge & Spa also will share conveniences with a second development soon to follow called the Shores at the Highlands, located along the banks of the Blue River. Architectural plans and development schedules are in the works.
