0.75 million. The Denver Gazette called it the priciest home listing in the city of Denver. a national listing site and Yahoo ran it as the city's second-most-expensive listing and tagged it with its nickname, the "Tom Shane" estate. Katie Hoster of LIV a national brokerage has the listing, MLS number 6542435, which is the same agent the Wilsons used on that FaceTime call almost a decade ago.
So what does ten-plus million buy you in Country Club? Depends who you ask on the square footage, honestly. The Denver Gazette lists it at 10,370 square feet on a three-quarter-acre lot (0.76 acres to be exact), with 6 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The MLS record pegs it at 10,013. Either way, this thing is enormous.
Inside there is a ballroom-sized salon on the main level with a large gas fireplace. Five en suite bedrooms on the second floor. A nanny suite on a third level with its own balcony. A 3-car garage. And here is the part Hoster leans on hardest: the backyard. She called it one of the most private lots in all of Denver, mature trees all around, no neighbor behind you at all. And it is about a four-block walk to Cherry Creek's restaurant row and Hillstone, which is dangerous for the dinner budget if you ask me.

The real story here is almost a hundred years old. The house went up in 1931 for Mason A. Lewis, a prominent Denver attorney, and his wife Dorothy Fish Lewis. The architect was Henry A. Koch (you will also see him listed as Henry S. Koch, depending on the source), and the F.J. Kirchoff Construction Co. built it for $38,000.
Sit with that number for a second. Thirty-eight thousand dollars in 1931. Today the ask is
0.75 million. That is the kind of math that makes your head spin.
And the craftsmanship from that era is still here. Carved limestone entrance. Leaded-glass windows. Half-timber framing. A slate roof. Art deco detailing and original millwork throughout. This is not a flip where somebody ripped out the soul and dropped in gray laminate. The old bones are intact.
The neighborhood matches the house. Country Club launched in 1905 and has always been where Denver's power lived. Former Denver Mayor Robert Speer kept a home here. More than a century later it is still the address.

Now,
0.75 million is a big number for a Denver listing, but let me put it in context, because the top of this market has its own ceiling.
The all-time on-market sale record for the Denver area is
7 million, set November 20, 2025 by a Cherry Hills Village mansion at 4603 South Denice Drive. That one knocked off the previous record, Josh Kroenke's
5.75 million Cherry Hills buy from August 2024. And if you count off-market deals, the metro's priciest ever is still Russell Wilson's
5 million Cherry Hills Village purchase back in 2022.
So Country Club is playing at a high level, but Cherry Hills is where the absolute ceiling lives.
Why the top tier does not care about your rate
Here is the part people miss right now. The broader Denver market is getting dragged by mortgage rates. Buyers at the normal price points are doing math every single night, and a lot of them are just sitting on their hands waiting.
The top of the market does not play by those rules. When you are writing a check for eight figures, the rate on a 30-year fixed is not really the conversation. And the numbers back it up. In 2025, 5,567 properties sold for at least
million across the 11-county Denver metro, adding up to $9.1 billion. That is up 5 percent in count and 7 percent in value over 2024, according to DMAR. In a slow, rate-pressured year, the luxury tier actually grew.
Agents working this level will tell you the same thing. Even in a sluggish market, a home that is move-in ready and sits on a standalone, truly private setting can still pull multiple offers fast. Even at the very top. And that is exactly what 575 Circle Drive is selling. Not just the square footage. The privacy, the trees, the no-neighbor-in-back backyard, the walk to dinner.
The Wilsons bet $6.5 million on this house over a video call in 2017. We will find out soon what the next owner thinks it is worth in person.
