Retired race car driver Richard Berry lists Evergreen mansion for $25M

Just after pulling it from the current market through the pandemic, retired race auto driver Richard Berry listed his personalized-designed Evergreen mansion for $24.8 million this week.

Soon after Berry bought 24503 Chris Push in 1998 for $895,000, he designed a 10,000-square-foot store for his automobiles.

Then he expended extra than $30 million to make the mansion, identified as Thunder Ridge, which was completed in 2004, with aid from Boulder-based KGA Studio Architects to Denver-centered Sprung Construction.

“The architect camped up in this article for five days to get the feng shui of the house,” reported Berry, who set his stamp on his dwelling with every little thing from a Playboy mansion-encouraged pool with waterfall and grotto to a planet-course film theater.

He also expanded the first house for his cars and trucks to a 27,411-square-foot hangar-model area that consists of a car or truck wash and experienced-quality mechanic’s products.

Listing agent Sean Endsley with LIV Sotheby’s said the home’s new operator could convert the climate-managed hangar room into an art gallery, sporting activities complicated, or equestrian barn.

The 22,864-square-foot mansion contains seven bedrooms and 16 bathrooms on 1.25 acres. The home’s primary suite, which consists of a steam shower and massive stroll-in closet, occupies the entire second flooring.

Other highlights incorporate:

• A professional-grade elevator
• Laundry rooms on each of the home’s three concentrations
• A kitchen with a double island
• An in-property elegance salon
• A doggy grooming area with a shower and a dryer large more than enough for a Excellent Dane
• A globe-class movie theater with a 200-inch display and D-Box Emersion movement seats.

Berry, an investor and auto enthusiast, was a driver, sponsor and group operator in the American Le Mans collection from 2002 to 2009. His grandfather, Loren Murphy Berry, was recognized as “Mr. Yellow Pages” for inventing the phone e-book and founding the L. M. Berry & Firm. The corporation was bought to BellSouth Corp. in 1986.

When he moved into the household in 2004, Berry’s family members, together with 7-calendar year-previous triplets, lived there with him, but now they are grown, and it is much too much house for a person individual.

He initial listed the mansion for practically $20 million in December 2019 ahead of pulling it off the sector in November 2020.

Berry plans to keep in the Denver region but “downsize” to a little something in the 7,000-sq.-foot vary.
