This Alabama racehorse owner’s $25 million estate is up for sale in Colorado

It could be your home away from home, all for $25 million.

That’s what a 40-acre Colorado estate is for Gus King, a Guntersville businessman and founder of an Alabama-based flexible packaging company.

You may remember King, 77, who owns the racehorse Publisher, which came in 14th place in the Kentucky Derby in May.

Now King is selling the home he and his wife Tobie bought to be closer to their daughter while she was in law school, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Situated in Longmont, its 20 minutes from downtown Boulder and less than an hour from Denver. The 10,801-square-foot home has 6 bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

The Kings bought the home for $10 million two years and completely gutted and remodeled it.

The house already had a lot going for it, with panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains and the Flatirons.

The main residence has high soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, custom lighting, and expansive windows for those postcard views.

The main floor includes a sunlit great room with a stone fireplace, as well as a chef’s kitchen outfitted with a waterfall island. There’s also a walk-in butler’s pantry with custom shelving and a breakfast area – with a view, of course.

The primary suite has a spa-style bathroom with a zero-entry steam shower and soaking tub. There’s a balcony with a gas fireplace. The next owner can enjoy an office, formal dining room, lounge area, mud room, laundry room and four-car garage with an adjacent pool equipment room.

The upper level offers three spacious bedrooms and a second laundry room. A wet bar adjoins the movie theater.

There’s also a wine cellar, exercise room and an additional bedroom, as well as a separate suite with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and patio access.

On the grounds are two barns, with one for hosting featuring a commercial-grade kitchen, expansive entertaining area, fireplace, bathroom, and oversized garage doors. The second barn is partially unfinished and can be used for horses, storage or workshops.

Need to relax? There’s a swimming pool and spa, tennis court, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, pond, and a covered patio with fireplace.

“I’ve never seen the sun hit the clouds like I’ve seen at that property,” Gus told the Journal. “The sun turns the clouds golden there.”
