Nestled in a private enclave just above Boulder, Colorado, this stunning, one-of-a-kind home is an experience meticulously curated for the discerning guest. Formerly owned by the legendary Beach Boys producer, this home boasts a celebrated history, having privately hosted a roster of NFL stars, college football icons, country and rock music artists, and corporate executives.

This home is the ultimate base for the Sundance Film Festival, which officially makes Boulder its new home in January 2027. It offers the rare ability to enjoy a private, high-end mountain sanctuary without sacrificing accessibility to the festival's heartbeat. We tested the routes ourselves: you are a seamless 10-minute drive to the historic Boulder Theater and less than 15 minutes from Macky Auditorium on the CU campus—two of the festival's primary screening venues. Whether you are hosting an industry gathering around the selenite dining table or retreating to the cedar hot tub after a day of premieres at the Pearl Street Mall, this estate provides the exclusivity and "mountain-modern" luxury that Sundance attendees have come to expect.
