A newly constructed estate in Old Cherry Hills Village sold for $9.3 million, making it one of the highest priced residential transactions in metro Denver over the past year and the first ultra luxury home sale to close in 2026.
The home at 20 Viking Drive was represented by The Hoholik Team at milehimodern. Only eight residential properties in the Denver metro area have sold for more than $9 million in the past 12 months, placing the transaction among a small group of top tier sales in a market where inventory at the highest price points remains limited.
Designed by architect Murphy Mears with interiors by Susan Weiss of Emerson Bailey, the residence sits on just under one acre on a prominent corner lot. The exterior blends limestone and concrete, setting the tone for interiors defined by plaster walls and ceilings, European wide plank white oak floors, and custom raw steel detailing.
The main living areas center around a chef’s kitchen that opens to a great room designed for both daily living and large scale entertaining. Architectural features include reclaimed herringbone brick, cedar wrapped beams, and a French antique stone fireplace. Throughout the home, materials and finishes emphasize craftsmanship and durability rather than trend driven design.
The property is equipped with whole home automation controlling lighting, climate, and security, along with a custom white oak elevator connecting all levels. The primary suite functions as a private retreat with dual walk in closets, a full wet bar, a limestone fireplace, and a spa inspired bathroom featuring European tumbled limestone, Calacatta marble countertops, a soaking tub, and heated stone floors.
A detached one bedroom carriage house with two bathrooms provides additional flexibility for guests or extended stays. Outdoor living spaces include a heated patio with a stone fireplace and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen anchored by a built in Wolf grill. A heated four car garage with polished concrete floors completes the property.
The sale reflects continued confidence among buyers at the highest end of the Denver market and reinforces Old Cherry Hills Village’s position as one of the region’s most desirable residential enclaves heading into 2026.
