Broncos Ex-Coach Mike Shanahan Sells Lavish Denver Home for Record $15.7M

Published: November 18, 2021 | By: American Luxury Staff

A bona-fide sprawler in the Denver area was, until recently, hearth and home to former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan. The property changed hands recently for $15.725 million, a record for a single-family home in the area.

According to public records, Shanahan had been trying to sell the estate for five years when it closed late last month, with listings going back as far as 2016. Along the way, asking prices were as high as $22 million.

The home’s 32,254 sq. ft. is distributed along a single level, making the home’s footprint very large indeed. It contains six bedrooms and thirteen baths; the relative dearth of sleeping accommodations suggests that the house was designed for an entertainment- and amenity-oriented lifestyle, as a look inside confirms.

The home’s interiors suggest the palatial, with plentiful ornament, including columns, conceptual ceilings, molded plaster, wrought iron, hardwood paneling, and stone tile floors. The second level features a herringbone floor in black brick and a center landing for the staircase, which features black tile risers; the room is lightened by warm neutrals and plentiful natural light through multi-pane bay windows.

Amenities include a lounge with a curving full-length bar, a conservatory imported from England, a great room that opens to courtyards and the pool area, a wine grotto, and a wellness studio with a racquet ball court.
