A mansion on 667 acres in Evergreen sold for $10 million last month, topping local home sales.
Captain’s Rock Ranch, as the property at 3999 Evans Ranch Road is known, includes an 11,376-square-foot mansion with five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The home was constructed in 1995 of chinked logs and Gallegos stone.
The property includes an indoor riding arena with eight stalls, a tack room, and an office, as well as a refurbished 1900s schoolhouse that the owners saved and moved to the property. That building could be used as a guest retreat or a studio.
The property, sold by Brent Redstone and Anne M. Vanderwerken, was initially listed by Farm and Ranch in 2024 for $16.4 million before the asking price was reduced that May to $14.8 million.
It was relisted for $10 million on March 24 by Josh Behr with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty and went under contract on May 13.
Keri Duffy, a member of the Denver Metro Area of Realtors market trends committee, said in comments with the association’s July report that the original list price “clearly overestimated the market.”
After being relisted, the property spent 45 days in the MLS, which is comparable to the 41-day average in the $1 million-plus segment in the Denver metro, Duffy said.
Kenneth Mirr with Mirr Ranch Group represented Captains Rock Ranch LLC, a Colorado corporation formed on April 28 to purchase the property.
Redstone, the seller, is the son of the late media mogul Sumner Redstone, who built the Paramount Global empire. The younger Redstone is a former Boston prosecutor who moved to Colorado in the mid-1990s and previously worked for the Denver law firm Davis Graham.
Redstone was estranged from his father and sued him in 2006, claiming he was pushed out of the family business in favor of his sister, Shari, and that his father misappropriated company assets. The lawsuit was settled in 2007 for approximately $240 million.
The couple purchased an English Tudor-style mansion near Asheville, North Carolina, for $9.6 million in 2023. In June 2024, Redstone and Vanderwerken sued a Denver auction house for failing to pay them the proceeds from the sale of more than 300 items from their Evergreen home. The case was later dropped.
