A $5.25 Million Architectural Gem in Colorado with Majestic Mountain Views by Suzanne Allen
Set on a granite ridge just north of downtown Breckenridge, 455 Highfield Trail is a masterclass in elevated mountain living. Priced at $5,250,000, this custom-designed estate offers commanding views of Colorado’s Tenmile Range, refined finishes throughout, and seamless access to both nature and community. Built in 2017 by renowned builder Ken Colvin and designed by Suzanne Allen, the home is a standout in the competitive Breckenridge Real Estate market.
“This property is a true work of art, both architecturally and geographically,” said listing agent Luke Paffrath of Paffrath & Thomas Real Estate. “You’re perched above the valley with direct views of the Breckenridge Ski Area, yet only minutes from the restaurants and culture of Main Street.”
With its soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and over 5,200 square feet of interior space, the home manages to feel both intimate and expansive. Its five en-suite bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or multi-generational living, while a three-level floor plan—complete with elevator—ensures comfort and accessibility.

A Home Built for Vision and Value
Set on 1.04 acres, 455 Highfield Trail boasts seven bathrooms, a spa, steam room, and extensive outdoor living areas that capture sunlight throughout the day. Interior touches include wide-plank wood flooring, a gourmet kitchen with luxury appliances, and a living room framed by panoramic alpine views. A wine cooler, gas fireplace, and custom cabinetry contribute to the home’s elevated design language.
“The current owners are visionary,” Paffrath told Luxury Houses Magazine. “They bought this land when it was valued at just $200,000 and created a retreat that’s now worth over $5 million. It’s one of the strongest examples of investment growth in Colorado Real Estate that I’ve seen.”
In fact, public records show the land was sold in 2017 for $200,000 before being developed and sold again in 2019 for $3.2 million. Now on the market in 2025, it commands nearly double that price—testament to the strength of the Breckenridge luxury market and the home’s enduring value.

A Life of Connection—To Nature and Community
While privacy and tranquility define the home, its location ensures deep connection to the outdoors. The Blue River runs just steps from the property, and residents enjoy immediate access to hiking trails, bike paths, and the famed Colorado Trail—all without leaving their backyard. During winter months, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling are just as accessible.
“This location truly offers the best of both worlds,” said Paffrath. “Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or simply want to soak in the view with a glass of wine from your spa deck, 455 Highfield Trail delivers.”
The home is part of the Highlands at Breckenridge community, specifically in the Braddock Hill enclave—an area known for its exclusive homes, natural beauty, and year-round recreational opportunities. From here, residents are just minutes from the Breckenridge Golf Club in summer and the Gold Run Nordic Center in winter.

With more than 2,900 acres of skiable terrain, five mountain peaks, and nearly 300 days of sunshine a year, Breckenridge continues to be one of the most sought-after mountain towns in the West. For those seeking an uncompromising lifestyle in a legacy destination, 455 Highfield Trail is an exceptional opportunity.
