If your idea of roughing it in the Rockies involves private snowcats and a concierge on call, Hideaway Creek Cabin may be your kind of splurge. The fully finished private ski compound, tucked inside the members-only Cimarron Mountain Club, is headed to auction with a $25.7 million asking price. The cabin sits at about 10,000 feet on roughly 35 acres and is pitched as the club’s only completed private residence. Instead of a standard mountain driveway, owners rely on snowcat access and round-the-clock concierge services that come with membership.
Per the auction house's listing, online bidding opens July 14, with registration due by July 13, and the sale will close live in New York on July 28 as part of the firm's summer live sales slate, according to Concierge Auctions. The auction page lists the property at $25.7 million and identifies Compass broker Steven Shane as the listing agent.
What’s Up For Auction
The Hideaway Creek Cabin is roughly 4,181 square feet with four bedrooms and five full bathrooms, plus two wood-burning fireplaces, radiant and solar heating, and a fully furnished interior, according to Compass. The home sits on about 35.23 acres, and the listing notes sizable annual association dues and club fees that accompany membership, so buyers are very much signing up for a lifestyle package, not just a remote ski cabin.
Club Perks And Access
The Cimarron Mountain Club spans about 1,900 acres and limits ownership to just 13 families, pairing three snowcats with a newly completed private lodge and professional concierge services, per the club's materials at Hideaway Creek. Club marketing also highlights more than twice the skiable terrain of Aspen Mountain and Michelin-caliber dining for members, positioning the property as part ski sanctuary, part ultra-luxury clubhouse.
What The Sellers Say
Listing broker Steven Shane is leaning into the exclusivity angle, framing the sale as far more than just a luxury mountain home. “You’re not simply purchasing a home; you’re gaining access to an entire private mountain lifestyle that very few people will ever experience,” the agent told The Denver Post. A company executive also told The Denver Post that “extraordinary properties deserve extraordinary exposure,” language that mirrors the auction firm's broader marketing push. The pitch is clear: buyers are paying for membership and mountain access as much as square footage.
Timeline And How To Bid
Two public preview events are scheduled for June 18 and July 9, and prospective bidders must register by July 13 to participate. The auction page notes that registrants may save on fees, according to Concierge Auctions. The sale will culminate with a live close in New York in late July as part of the firm's America 250 live sales events.
Why It Matters
Beyond the eye-watering sticker price, the listing underscores growing demand among ultra-wealthy buyers for private, members-only mountain enclaves and raises questions about how remote communities absorb the economic and environmental impacts of such developments. Sotheby's Concierge Auctions also promotes a Key For Key giving model that helps fund homes for families in need when the firm completes sales, a program described in industry coverage and company materials; see Global Real Estate Watch.
