Impressive
Chateau In The Pines Ranked as One of the Top Ten Most Impressive Golf Homes by CNBC Monumental in scale with traditional symmetry, hipped roof, and dormers, this home is rich in ornamentation with lavish stones, rich woods and discerning attention to detail. And tastefully elegant from the colors and textures of the walls and flooring to the wainscoting, moulding, and other exceptional finishes that adorn this modern interpretation of a classic style. The well sourced natural stone and walnut wood floors are radiant heated on the main level. Walls are adorned with lush upholstery, chandeliers reflect a designer’s eye and bathroom vanities reflect the comfort that comes from hand painted Habersham detailing. This home is an exquisite example of neo-French Country architecture and offers the lifestyle that only Castle Pines Village can provide.

Timeless
CHâTEAU ELEVÊ Castle Living in Colorado This 35-acre French Castle dominates the landscape. Poised atop a knoll in a gated community in Castlewood Canyon, this French Renaissance Chateau is a modern interpretation of what it was like to live as a royal. You are met with statues, a large stone terrace and a fountain as you approach the grand entrance that leads you to a home not often found this side of the Atlantic.
Chateau ElevĂŠ, as is carved in the stone at the entrance, derived its name from its first owner who created the home to pay homage to the fairy tale lifestyle that is the French Castle. With architecture not seen since the Guilded age, this home brings a level of character to Colorado living with grandeur surrounded by fantastic nature and views.

LIVING LEGEND
Every house has a story; truly special properties have history
magine sitting under the portico above the expanse of what was once one of the largest cattle ranches in Colorado. Or picture yourself strolling the halls of this historic Georgian-style mansion that has for the last century played host to artists, politicians and where Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft escaped their fast-paced lives for holidays. A spectacular example of turn-of-the-century architecture and environmental planning in the expansive KenCaryl valley. A respite where the grounds were
the site of grand picnics and where conversations of art and politics may have changed the world we know today. Buying an historic property is more than
purchasing a unique piece of the past. It is an investment in a living legend. Residing in such a place of craftmanship, lore and genuine old-fashioned beauty takes you far beyond simpy following in the footsteps of presidents, scandalous newspaper entrepe-

It’s the comfort of permanence, the romance and charm of imaging the past. Historically significant homes add their own lives to yours. It is our privilege to represent many exceptional residences of historical significance. Homes that have acquired the charm, quirks, and character of past lives lived out within their walls. Houses with soul.

neurs, family relatives or celebrated personalities of earlier eras. Owning a truly historic home opens a window to hundreds of years of insight into who we were and are as a nation, people, culture and society. While many properties have a story, only a select few have authentic history. The definition of an historic home depends upon a combination of criteria, of which only one is age. In some cases, location alone is enough

to secure historic status. Other times, designation by a governing body signifies a special historical interest. Or it could be as simple as who was born there, who visited, who designed it, or its cultural, political, religious or archaeological significance. The Manor House is truly one of Denver’s most storied addresses. A place where Presidents sat in front of the fireplace of the grand house, smoking a cigar discussing the politics of the day with friends. A place where the great artists of the 20th century came to escape from their fame -- and relax. A place that, along with all those famous guests, DenHistoric Manor House 1 Manor House Road Littleton, CO 80127 www.1ManorHouse.com For more information 303-917-8000
ver’s high society has gathered for holidays and events. They would keep a watchful eye on the opening in the Dakota hogback. When the light that sits on top of the flagpole was lit, it would signify that the Denver aristocrats were invited to come out to the Manor House for a gathering. Over the years that tradition has remained as the property has transformed into a restaurant and event center. The light that has invited so many over the years, continues to shine as a friendly beacon and reminder of our shared local and national history.

Portfolio Buyers “After years of saving, months of looking, and days of debating, we finally bought a house. And we love it.
Highlands
We had the best real estate agents in Colorado, Faun & William Hauptman of Portfolio Fine Homes who went above and beyond the call of duty in aiding us in selecting our home and negotiating the best price we could afford. We recommend them 110%. We visited 50+ homes in the Denver metro area over an 8 month-period (via hundreds of listings), and Faun & William made searching for our new home not just a fun-filled-jacked-up-on-espresso-totally-gonna-love-itexperience, but a buying experience with 100% no remorse. And if there is a single purchase when buyer’s remorse isn’t your cuppa joe, it when you buy a home.

Our home-buying experience could have been filled with stress, anxiety, confusion, and uncertainty. However, Faun & William made certain they wouldn’t let us buy a home unless they knew it was best for us, considering both the short-term lifestyle advantages (R. J. wanted to walk to a coffee shop and Nicole wanted a cute Tudor-style) and long-term financial benefits (we want to sell in perhaps 10 years and be happy with the profit). We closed and moved in about 2 months ago and have enjoyed the entire experience.” R.J., Nicole & Dash, August 2009
“We were relocated from the East Coast and were lucky to find Portfolio Fine Homes on our first visit. They not only introduced us to Denver, but educated us on the neighborhoods, and found a home we love in the Cherry Creek School District for a price that was unbelievable, thanks to some great negotiations. Faun and William have become friends and they have our highest recommendation.” Dan, Deb, Toni & Jack, March 2009

We are so happy in our new home that Faun helped us find, we feel as if she is an angel from heaven. We were lucky enough to find Portfolio Fine Homes through one of their listings we found from California on the internet. We were very much interested in that home & even made an offer, but it was in a short sale situation, & if we had bought it, we would have had to live in an apartment in Denver to make it habitable. Faun said she would not let us have to live in an apartment, & she followed through with her intentions though we thought that that house was “the only one”.
we are so happy with the home Faun helped us find, we feel as if she is an angel from heaven
Faun showed us many houses on our first trip to Denver in late September which met our stated requirements. We came here again when it looked as if the other house wouldn’t work out. She rushed us over to see a home which had just come on the market at a greatly reduced price. We fell in love with the home, & Faun guided us through our offer the same day, with the knowledge that the listing agent said there was another offer. WE GOT THE HOME! We just moved into the home last week & couldn’t be happier. We know it couldn’t have happened without Faun’s expert and caring assistance. Bennett & Joan, October 2009

THE BENTLEY COLLECTION. DIFFERENT CHARACTER. SAME DNA. If you have always dreamed of Bentley ownership, there has never been a wider choice. Or a wiser one. For some, the bespoke exclusivity of the Arnage four-door will exert the greatest appeal. For others, it will be the performance focus of the 552 hp all-wheel drive Continental GT coupé; or perhaps its spacious four-door stablemate, the Continental Flying Spur. Still undecided? Bentley Denver has the complete story. Rest assured: there are no wrong choices.
