Mountaintop Mansion in Colorado

This stunning, 10,633-square-foot home sits on the side of a mountain in Avon, Colo., and so showcases views of snow-capped peaks at every turn. Meanwhile, flagstone steps and walkways wrap around the house and lead past aspen trees to hiking trails and ski-in/ski-out access.
