The 2008 house at 31 Albion Place, honored as a Colorado Home of the Year, was designed by Chris Davis of Boss Architecture and Sarah Brown of Semple Brown Design. Its September 18 closing led five reported home sales across the Denver metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026, a group totaling $22.90 million.
Two closings landed inside Denver, in Observatory Park and Hilltop; the rest were in Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch and Cherry Hills Village. Across the five, the communities are Castle Pines Village, Backcountry, Observatory Park, Cherry Hills Farm and Hilltop, and the houses range in age from a 1931 Colonial to a build completed in 2026. Compass – Denver held the listing side of both the leading sale and the No. 4 closing in Cherry Hills Village.
No. 1 — $7,400,000 · 31 Albion Place, Castle Rock, Colorado
Known in listing materials as the Garden House, 31 Albion Place occupies a Castle Pines Village site overlooking the 12th hole of Castle Pines Golf Club. The four-bedroom residence, built in 2008 and carrying a reported 11,147 square feet, closed on September 18, 2026, at $7,400,000.
Listing materials identify Chris Davis of Boss Architecture and Sarah Brown of Semple Brown Design as the architects, and the house has been honored as a Colorado Home of the Year. A gallery-style entry opens onto rooms defined by tall ceilings and walls of glass that turn toward the gardens.

The primary suite looks out over the grounds and includes a spa-style bath.

The property stands in the Castle Pines Village community in Castle Rock.
