Do you like your mega-home with a dose of transcendentalism? Look no further than this 70 acre/10,000+ square foot property outside Beaver Creek that was inspired by Henry Thoreau’s Walden. It’s not hard to make fun of how contradictory this $29 million home is to Thoreau’s cabin on a pond but if guess if you want to live deliberately woods is woods:

“Inspired by Thoreau’s Walden, about living in natural surroundings for personal growth, this home commands dramatic scenery, unrivaled privacy and close proximity to world-class skiing in Beaver Creek and Vail. Designed by renowned architect Annabelle Selldorf, this 7-bedroom, 9-bathroom home is a modern work of art, recognized worldwide. Built in 2009 by George Shaeffer, this home includes a large pond, pool, gym and 9-miles of trails surrounding the property.”
