Tom Cruise's Colorado Mountain Estate Sells for $39.5 Million

The 320-acre Telluride ranch is where the actor vacationed with his children and ex-wife Katie Holmes.

Protected by a gated entrance, once through you’ll ascend up a mile-long driveway, which leads to the 10,000-square-foot cedar-and-stone main house and three-bedroom guest lodge. Sweeping mountain views surround the property, which has easy access to forested trails and is near the historic downtown area. The home was sold by Eric Lavey and Dan Dockray of LIV Sotheby's International Realty. “If you spend any amount of time in this unique estate, you recognize that it is truly a once-a-generation type of offering—which makes it a bit impossible to let that opportunity pass you by,” says Lavey, the the lead agent on the listing. Read more on the sprawling property below.

The property is surrounded by rolling hills and mountains.

There's also a private gate into the Uncompahgre National Forest, perfect for hiking and other outdoor activities.

Views of the nearby mountain range can be seen from an array of balconies and patios.

The home's architecture is striking-yet-subdued, blending in with its natural surroundings.

Both the main house and guest house are clad in bleached cedar timbers and native stone.

The home's large dining areas, including the main house's dining room (pictured) make it perfect for entertaining.

The home's two fireplaces offer a great source of warmth, especially during colder months.

Vaulted wood-beam ceilings give the space a cozy sense of grandeur.

Other highlights of the home include a gym, recreation room, and library.

The wood-clad eat-in kitchen blends in seamlessly with the rest of the home.

Tom Cruise Sells His Longtime Telluride Ranch for $39.5 Million - See Inside!

The 320-acre Colorado property was the setting for the actor's 2008 Oprah interview, and where he and then-fiancee Katie Holmes shared the first photos of daughter Suri in 2006

Tom Cruise is officially saying goodbye to his 320-acre estate in Telluride, Colorado.

The actor, 58, has sold the 7-bedroom, 9-bathroom property where he famously sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2008 and, a year and a half earlier, opened up to Vanity Fair alongside then-fiancée Katie Holmes , sharing the first photos of their daughter, Suri.

The home is was listed for $39.5 million in March, with lead agent Eric Lavey and Dan Dockray of Sotheby's International Realty . It has now sold at asking.

According to the home's listing, the secluded, sprawling ranch was "custom-built for privacy, where unspoiled natural beauty, sweeping mountain vistas and outdoor recreation abound."

There's an impressive 11,512 square feet of living space split between an almost 10,000-square-foot main house and a guest house with three bedrooms.

Warm wood is the star of the show throughout the interior, featuring heavily in the furnishings, flooring, walls and even the kitchen's counters and island.

Amenities on the property include a game room that currently holds a billiards table, foosball table and piano; a fitness center; two fireplaces; an outdoor terrace and a three-car garage.

"Enveloped in mountain majesty and boasting extensive forested trails, this secluded estate - accessed via a scenic one-mile drive from a secure gated entry - is only minutes from historic downtown Telluride for world-class skiing and golf," the listing notes.

According to Vanity Fair , Cruise began making plans for the compound more than 30 years ago. He completed it in 1994, and put it on the market for $59 million back in 2014.

In her 2006 interview with Cruise and Holmes, 42, Vanity Fair 's Jane Sarkin described the home as having the feeling "of a sprawling lodge or chalet , with rustic, log-cabin touches-informal, airy, built with honey-colored deadwood from Oregon."

According to Sarkin, Holmes, Cruise and their kids (Suri, then 5 months old, and Cruise's son Connor , now 26, and daughter Isabella , now 28) spent their days at the ranch riding around a makeshift motocross track, jumping on an in-ground trampoline, playing golf and sitting around an outdoor fire pit.

Award-winning actor Tom Cruise is selling his 320-acre Telluride ranch in the Colorado mountains for almost $40 million. 

Tom, who is best-recognized for his leads in Mission Impossible , Top Gun , and Jack Reacher , chose the property for its privacy before spending several years renovating the stone-and-cedar-kissed ranch. He completed the redesign project in 1994. 

The home, which is hidden amid the organic haven of The Centennial State, is a spacious, secure sanctuary that is discreetly hidden from the rest of the world.

The Wall Street Journal revealed the actor first looked into selling the estate to Telluride ski resort for $59 million seven years ago - however, the current listing with Sotheby's is the first time the property has been publicly advertised. 

The interior of the property epitomizes Alpine style and sophistication, boasting a pair of rustic fireplaces, a fitness center, and an outdoor terrace. 

There are also seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms - three of which are hidden in the additional guest house, which comes as part of the estate.  This means there is plenty of room for guests to recharge after enjoying the neighboring world-class skiing and golf scene.

Telluride was also a natural choice for Tom Cruise, as the town hosts a highly anticipated film festival every September. We can't help but imagine how many after-parties the actor has thrown in this stylish retreat over the years.

Inside Tom Cruise’s $40M Telluride Ski Chalet

Mission Impossible mega star Tom Cruise equipped his luxe alpine escape in Telluride, Colorado with all the bells and whistles. The 11,512-square-foot living space was built in 1994, and includes the 10,000-square-foot, four-bedroom main house and a three-bedroom guest house. Tom has owned the mountain retreat since the ’90s and sold the property for $39.4 million last spring. With ski season upon, we thought it was worth a peek. Scroll down!

Nestled deep within rolling meadows and mature forest, the Telluride home holds a lot of history for Tom, according to Dirt.com . It is where he enjoyed time with his children and much of his marriage to actress Katie Holmes. It was also the location of his last major interview with Oprah , who was so taken with his ranch and its views that she bought her own home nearby in 2016.

The grounds are beautiful in all seasons. Outside is a sports court for tennis, basketball or ice hockey and a private trail system. The property’s 298 acres are threaded with hiking and riding trails, and tracks for dirt bikes and snowmobiles — plus there’s a private gate leading to the Uncompahgre National Forest.

The living room features beamed ceilings with bleached cedar timbers, an oversized fieldstone fireplace and charming French windows to frame  dramatic views of the tall peaks outside.

In this casual seating area, the walls are clad in rustic cedar timbers assembled by dovetail joinery; and the angular fireplace built from local stone echoes the mountains outside.

The dining room continues the Western theme, with a metal cowboy chandelier and art. The trestle table and farmhouse wood chairs drive home the casual, family friendly vibe.

The chalet kitchen features luxury appliances — including three refrigerators. A hanging wrought iron pot rack gives the space a personal feel.

This cozy den has plenty of rustic log shelving. The knotty wood walls and timbers give this space an intimate feel, perfect for après ski.

The games room also embraces a Western spirit, with Navajo-style rugs laid causally on the wood plank floors and a cowboy-theme parchment shade.

This picturesque spot outfitted with a timber bench is an ideal perch to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate as the sun climbs over the peaks in the morning.

Reclusive ranch

Nestled in the majesty of the mountains, Cruise’s home was custom built for privacy. After years of planning the house was finally erected amongst “breathtaking alpine views.”

Luxury meets legendary

On the inside, the mountain views are framed gorgeously. The main house sprawls out at about 10,000 square feet, with an overall lumbery look perfectly complementing the great outdoors.

Mountainous

The home boasts seven bedrooms and nine full bathrooms, so you can have a room for every single day of the week!

Guest rooms galore

The cozy atmosphere is “clad in bleached cedar timbers and native stone.” There is also a three-bedroom guest lodge in the aspen groves (just in case you need more room).

Culinary delight

The custom kitchen offers many amenities, but if you’re feeling like a night out don’t worry - the house is located a mere minutes from historic downtown Telluride.

Fun and games

Other amenities include a game room (pictured here), gym and stunning outdoor terrace to take in the breathtaking scenary.

Tom Cruise sells Colorado mountain retreat for $39.5 million

Tom Cruise’s home-selling mission was possible. In the Colorado mountain town of Telluride, the movie star just unloaded his 320-acre retreat for the full asking price of $39.5 million after just two months on the market.

It’s a huge sale, but not a surprising one considering the resort city’s in-demand market. During the pandemic, the popular skiing and hiking destination became a hot spot for second homes as buyers flocked away from cities in search of more space.

The 10,000-square-foot home was built in 1994, and Cruise, star of “Top Gun” and the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, bought it a year later. Fit for an action star, it features a sports court, snowmobile track, dirt bike course and a series of hiking trails that snake through the aspen-laden grounds.

Bleached cedar timbers and native stone give the main house a cabin-like feel, and the estate also holds a three-bedroom guest lodge. Throughout both homes, walls of windows take in views of the surrounding forests and snow-capped mountain peaks.

Highlights include a great room under towering beams, library, billiards room, media room, gym and wood kitchen with an oversize island. Elsewhere are six bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

Cruise, 58, has film credits that include “Risky Business,” “Rain Man” and “The Last Samurai.” A winner of three Golden Globe Awards, he also received Oscar nominations for his roles in “Born on the Fourth of July,” “Jerry Maguire” and “Magnolia.”

Eric Lavey and Dan Dockray of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty held the listing.

Joshua Johnson, LIV SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY

Over the years, the Aldasoro Ranch near Telluride has been carved into numerous developments. Part of the ranch is now the largest star-studded subdivision in this high-dollar region. Another piece is home to the highest commercial airport in the country.

Tom Cruise is off the market — well, at least his Telluride estate is.

The “Mission: Impossible” star sold his 320-acre dwelling for the full asking price of $39.5 million , making it the highest residential sale ever in the Telluride region.

The 11,512-square-foot, custom-built home features seven bedrooms, nine full bathrooms. A guest house has three additional bedrooms.

The luxury property, which was listed in March, was on the market for less than a week before it was under contract, said its co-listing agent Dan Dockray. A Telluride-based senior global real estate adviser for LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, Dockray said Monday he and co-listing agent Eric Lavey had expected to have Cruise’s mountain abode signed by April 1.

The fast transaction illustrates Colorado’s red-hot real estate market, where the median price for a single-family reached over $500,000 for the first time in April . Celebrity homes, especially those like Cruise’s, don’t become available too often, Dockray said.

“This is an uncommon property,” he said. “With a property like this, we don’t have comparables. We priced it in the zone that made it attractive.”

Cruise, who completed the custom home in 1994, tried to sell the estate for $59 million seven years ago , but did not have a public listing. The market has changed since those days.

“It was priced correctly and correctly placed for such an incredible property,” Dockray said.

While Dockray is familiar with the Telluride market, Lavey is seeing its potential. The Beverly Hills, Calif.-based agent, who is also a senior global real estate adviser for Sotheby’s, called it, “one of the most special places in the world.”

“You’re not going to Telluride and find luxury cars,” Lavey said. “Locals are passionate about keeping it T-ride.”

Lavey said his client, who he did not disclose, and the locals are involved in the community and described Telluride as “not a playground for the rich.”

As a whole, Telluride does not have many properties with price tags over $20 million, and those that do often are not the subjects of a bidding war, Dockray said.

“We’re still a much younger market than Aspen and Vail,” Dockray said. About 20 luxury dwellings sell in both Aspen and Vail annually, he said, but Telluride only averages a handful.

One of the factors for Telluride’s growth has been the pandemic, with people leaving highly populated areas like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles for more private settings that offer family activities, Lavey said. While the worldly centers are opening up again, these second- and third-tier markets will continue to attract house hunters who demand remarkable homes.

“These markets have been the best possible during that last 12 months,” he said.

Both Dockray and Lavey foresee high-end listings performing well in Telluride beyond this time, with Lavey calling it a “once-in-a-quarter-century scenario.”

“People are seeing the value of Telluride,” Dockray said.

Stardom surged for Cruise in 1983 when he was 19 and slid into the hallway in  Risky Business . Now in his fourth decade as one of the world’s most successful and wealthy actors, Cruise also owns homes in Beverly Hills and Clearwater, Florida.

The structures are clad in rustic bleached cedar timbers and native stone with beamed ceilings.

Game room with Western theme

Nestled deep within rolling meadows and mature forest, the Telluride home holds a lot of history for Cruise, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com . It is where he enjoyed time with his children and much of his marriage to actress and producer Katie Holmes. It was also the location of his last major interview with Oprah , a follow-up to Cruise’s exuberant couch-jumping episode with Oprah in 2005. Oprah was so taken with his ranch and its views that she bought her own home nearby in 2016.

Hiking and riding trails and dirt bike and snowmobile tracks thread throughout the 320 acres.

Telluride has long been a destination for celebrities who like to ski or just get away and chill from their high-octane professional lives and now is even more popular for second-home buyers during the pandemic. Other stars who also find Telluride to be a great getaway include Robert Redford, Jerry Seinfeld and designer-to-the-stars Ralph Lauren.

Inside Tom Cruise’s massive $39.5M Colorado estate featuring a gym, game room and stunning mountain views

TOM Cruise's incredible Colorado estate featuring a gym, game room and stunning mountain views is for sale - for a monumental $39.5M.

The 58-year-old actor , who also owns homes in Beverly Hills and Clearwater, Florida, is waving goodbye to the idyllic 320-acre ranch.

Situated in Telluride, Colorado - the beautiful home is where Tom, a father of three , enjoyed much of his marriage to Katie Holmes.

It has further strong ties to the family as it was the location of his first major interview with Oprah , who later bought a home nearby.

The home is set within an incredible mountain range, with a mile-long driveway from it's gated entrance overlooking the valleys below.

Taking full advantage of it's 360 degree views, the 11,512-square-foot living space includes a four-bedroom home and a three-bedroom guest house, both featuring panelled windows.

The houses blends in with the surrounding forest thanks to its rustic cedar-wood clad exterior and large boulder stone accenting.

Inside, the home is equally impressive, featuring a large kitchen with a wooden kitchen island, double oven and plenty of fridge space.

The space opens up into a large living room and dining room, that has enough seats for a small crowd of family and friends.

Looking out onto the neighbouring mountain range, the living room sports two large leather sofas and a collection of smaller leather armchairs.

No TV in sight, home owners are invited instead to relax in front of a wood-burning stove on large, hand-woven rugs.

For more private occasions, there is a smaller living room that doubles up as a library, with shelves to stack books high up to the ceiling.

Perfect for entertaining guests, there is also a recreation room with games tables including snooker and table football, as well as a wooden piano.

Within the main home there is also a gym, while the charming guest house has its own living spaces for guests to relax.

Combined, there are seven bedrooms and nine bedrooms across the property, which has 320 acres of land to explore.

The grounds, which include a court for tennis, basketball or ice hockey depending on the season, has a private trail system up the mountains.

There is also a private gate into the protected Uncompahgre National Forest where homeowners can ride on dirt bikes or snow mobiles.

"Tucked away in the majestic mountains of Telluride, Colorado, a rare and expansive 320 acre retreat awaits," the Sothebys listing describes the home.

"Legend is created here. Memories are made here. Adventure awaits here. This one of a kind property is much more than a home, it's a way of life."

It describes the space as the "promise of a mountain lifestyle you can pass down the generations" for families seeking adventure.

The home move comes shortly after The Sun exclusively revealed that Tom had turned his penthouse into "fortress " installing over 100 spy cameras.

Finally moving into the home four years after buying it, the security-conscious star purchased the exclusive apartment in October 2016.

Locals say he turned the property, yards away from  Scientology's global headquarters  in Clearwater, Florida, into a fortress.

The secretive  Top Gun actor  has even destroyed his top-floor luxury 39ft infinity pool, hot tub and outdoor bar by completely covering it with a surrounding wall and roof, and the windows are covered with a white film, as seen in our exclusive photos.

Local resident Clay Irwin has been keeping tabs on developments and told The Sun there are dozens of cameras just on the ground floor of the building.

He claims there’s CCTV, motion detectors, and infrared, heat seeking cameras on site.

The penthouse has remained vacant, until just before Christmas, when the cameras were fixed all around the condo, according to Irwin.

Irwin, 57, said: "There’s security cameras everywhere, all round the condo - every five feet, there’s a camera.

"It’s crazy. It’s like a fortress and he’s got this white film on the windows, it looks horrible, they’re blocking a beautiful view and you can’t see in.

See Inside Tom Cruise's Colorado Mountain Ranch, Which Just Sold for $39.5 Million

Protected by a gated entrance, once through you’ll ascend up a mile-long driveway, which leads to the 10,000-square-foot cedar-and-stone main house and three-bedroom guest lodge. Sweeping mountain views surround the property, which has easy access to forested trails and is near the historic downtown area. The home was sold by Eric Lavey and Dan Dockray of LIV Sotheby's International Realty. “If you spend any amount of time in this unique estate, you recognize that it is truly a once-a-generation type of offering—which makes it a bit impossible to let that opportunity pass you by,” says Lavey, the the lead agent on the listing. Read more on the sprawling property below.

According to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com , Tom Cruise's Colorado vacation home—where he enjoyed his free time with his children and ex-wife Katie Holmes—hit the market for $39.5 million in March 2021. Just two months later, and the home has sold for the asking price. The 320-acre ranch, located in Telluride, CO—an area known for world-class alpine skiing (and its fair share of celebrity residents)—is an ultra-private rustic dream surrounded by miles of natural beauty. Fans of Cruise may be acquainted with the retreat, as it was the location of a follow-up interview with Oprah Winfrey (that came shortly after his dramatic 2005 appearance on her show), but the property itself has much more to offer than what was revealed during their sit-down.

Breaking news, tom cruise sells colorado home for $39.5m.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

He was cruisin’ for a sale — and, boy, did he get one.

Just two months after listing his Colorado estate for $39.5 million, actor Tom Cruise has sold the 320-acre spread for its full asking price, its listing brokerage told The Post.

The property snoops at the Wall Street Journal first reported news of the sale Friday. Listing agent Dan Dockray, of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, told the paper that the Telluride property entered contract within its first week on the market.

“It all really depended on who had their Gulfstream warming up on the tarmac to get out there first,” Eric Lavey, Dockray’s colleague, told the Journal.

The March debut of the listing marked the home’s first time publicly available for sale. In 2014, Cruise — known for his roles in “Top Gun” and “Vanilla Sky” among many other films — hired a broker to market the property in a hush-hush manner for a much higher $59 million ask.

Cruise spent several years designing the home, made with stone and cedar touches, which finished up in 1994. There are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, and the home, nestled in the mountains, is built for privacy. It’s also accessed via a 1-mile driveway and stands behind a gate.

The main house measures nearly 10,000 square feet — and comes equipped with a chef’s kitchen, wood-beamed ceilings and oversize windows that look out to the mountains. Other perks include several fireplaces, a gym, a three-car garage and outdoor entertaining areas.

The grounds also have a three-bedroom guest lodge.

Tom Cruise’s Colorado house for sale: actor lists 320-acre ranch he helped design for £29 million

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is selling the 320-acre Colorado mountain ranch he helped design, with an asking price of $39.5 million (£29 million).

Located in the celebrity-favourite ski town of Telluride, the 10,000 sq ft, four-bedroom home comes with its own three-bedroom guesthouse, forested trails and spectacular views of the surrounding San Juan mountains.

The property hosted Cruise’s 2008 interview with Oprah Winfrey – a follow-up to the famed “couch-jumping” interview in 2005 – who was reportedly so taken with the location that she went on to purchase a home nearby in 2015. More celebrity residents of the area include Jerry Seinfeld and Ralph Lauren .

Cruise reportedly first put the estate on the market in 2014 for $59 million (£43 million), but has now lowered the asking price after the property failed to sell.

The home boasts a gym, recreation room, two wood-burning fireplaces, and a library, as well as bleached cedar timber cladding throughout and nine full bathrooms across the two houses.

The secluded property can be accessed via a secure gate located a one-mile drive away from the main house.

Considered a year-round outdoor pursuit haven, Telluride boasts world-class skiing; golf courses; facilities for rock climbing, horseback riding, and 4x4 Off Roading; as well as ample opportunities for hiking, cycling and camping.

Tom Cruise Tries Again in Telluride: 320-Acre Ranch Available for $39.5M

Tom Cruise is on a mission: The A-lister wants to sell his massive Telluride ranch.

The Colorado spread is back on the market for $39.5 million. Eric Lavey and Dan Dockray of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty hold the listing.

The star of “Mission Impossible” had quietly shopped the property in 2014, at the much higher price point of $59 million. Now it’s officially on the market for the first time.

Cruise, 58, spent years amassing the land. He then had a 10,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom home built on the property back in 1994. It’s reported that he no longer uses the ranch and has decided to pass this premium parcel along to its next steward.

The 320-acre mountain retreat was the location for   a Vanity Fair magazine  profile of the actor in 2006, featuring his daughter, Suri , with his wife at the time, Katie Holmes .

The movie star welcomed Oprah Winfrey to his couch in Colorado for an interview in 2008.

The action star’s home is “built for privacy,” as the listing notes, and offers “unspoiled natural beauty.”

Those natural surroundings include mountain vistas and plentiful outdoor pursuits, from skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing in the winter, to golf, horseback riding, hiking, and biking, during warmer months.

“The biggest draw is how much acreage you have,” says Lavey. “The driveway is over a mile along. The privacy level is outrageous, while also being five to nine minutes away from the downtown and the slopes.”

Although the home is now over 25 years old, Lavey notes that it’s in a pristine state, built to the “highest level of construction.”

Accessed via a scenic driveway from a secure gated entry, the picturesque property sits atop an escarpment overlooking Alpine views, and is the “realization of years of planning and vision.”

The interior boasts a top-of-the-line chef’s kitchen, a fitness center, a rec room, a den, an office suite, two fireplaces, multiple terraces, and outdoor space.

In addition to the main home, which is clad in bleached cedar timbers and native stone, there’s an equally impressive three-bedroom guest lodge, set amongst aspen groves.

Enveloped by mountains, the property includes extensive forested trails for exploring the natural surroundings, yet is only minutes to Telluride.

Lavey notes that he’s already had significant interest in the property. A mere two-hour flight from Los Angeles (by private jet), the property is just minutes away from the private airport in town, Lavey notes, another appealing factor for a buyer looking to drop $40 million on a vacation home.

Cruise, who knows how to entertain an audiences at the box office, also seems to have mastered the art of relaxation with this spread.

Known for performing his own stunts, the actor can also claim some action-packed real estate deals. In 2016, he sold the Beverly Hills compound he’d shared with Holmes for $40 million. He pocketed a hefty profit, having bought the posh place in 2007 for $30.5 million.

The year before, he had  handed off his  Hollywood Hills compound to the actress Eva Longoria  for $11.4 million.

The megawatt star is known for his action-packed blockbusters, such as the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, “Top Gun,” and “Minority Report.” He’s currently filming Nos. 7 and 8 in the “Mission: Impossible” series. The long-awaited sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” is due out in July.

Tom Cruise's ranch in Telluride, Colorado that he helped design, is now for sale at $39.5 million.

The Telluride home holds a lot of history for Cruise. It is where he enjoyed time with his children and much of his marriage to Katie Holmes. It was also the location of his last major interview with Oprah, a follow-up to Tom’s exuberant couch-jumping episode with Oprah in 2005. Oprah was so taken with the Cruise ranch and its views that she later bought her own home nearby.

Other stars who also find Telluride to be a great getaway include Robert Redford, Jerry Seinfeld, and designer-to-the-stars Ralph Lauren.

As with most famous celebrities, Tom has claimed his share of the gossip pages whether it be over his marriages, children or film-role formulas. However, as the reviewers of his award-winning films agree, it doesn’t matter what he says or does or the latest gossip, Cruise is one of the few actors who can be cast in any film with any script and will likely take the film to the top of the box office ratings. Working around the constraints of Covid-19, Tom’s upcoming films are Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible 7 . He is well known for taking risks for his films, even doing his own risky stunts. Rumor has it that he will be going up in Elon Musk’s Space-X rocket to the space station to film Mission: Impossible 7 .
