A dramatic ridgeline residence overlooking the rugged landscapes of Colorado has entered the luxury market as former Olympic skier, NFL player, and tech executive Jeremy Bloom lists his custom-built mountaintop estate for $14 million.
Perched in the exclusive hillside enclave of Pine Brook Hills, the architectural residence blends contemporary design with raw natural terrain, reflecting a six-year design and construction journey that began after Bloom acquired the land in 2017 for approximately $291,000.
Public records reviewed by californialuxuryhouses show the home was completed in 2023 after an extensive collaboration with Adam Oklesh Architects, whose work integrates modern geometry into the region’s sandstone formations.
Bloom, who currently serves as CEO of the globally recognized action-sports brand X Games, designed the property as a personal retreat before recently deciding to bring the home to market.
Architecture Carved Into the Landscape
Unlike traditional mountain homes that sit atop the terrain, this residence is sculpted directly into the sandstone ridgeline, creating a structure that feels embedded within the landscape rather than imposed upon it.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls stretch across both the eastern and western exposures, capturing sunrise and sunset while framing sweeping views of Boulder Valley. Vaulted ceilings and exposed stone accents reinforce the organic-modern aesthetic that defines the home’s architectural identity.
According to listing agent Zach Zeldner, who spoke with californialuxuryhouses, the design process focused on preserving the raw character of the site.
“The vision was to create a home that feels inseparable from the mountain itself,” Zeldner said. “Every structural decision was made to maximize views while respecting the natural rock formations.”
Fire-rated materials, reinforced structural systems, and radiant floor heating were also incorporated to address the demands of the mountainous environment.
A Great Room Designed for Light and Scale
At the center of the residence, the great room unfolds as a double-height gathering space where glass and stone intersect to create both openness and warmth.
Natural light moves through the interior throughout the day, reflecting off textured surfaces and enhancing the layered material palette. The room’s proportions are intentionally expansive yet grounded through natural stone detailing and warm wood tones.
Zeldner noted to californialuxuryhouses that buyers touring the home often respond first to the spatial drama.
“When people step into the great room, the reaction is immediate,” he explained. “The glass walls make it feel like you’re floating above Boulder.”
The open layout seamlessly connects the great room to the kitchen and outdoor terraces, reinforcing the indoor–outdoor living concept.
Chef’s Kitchen With Sculptural Material Contrast
Flowing directly from the main living area, the chef’s kitchen is anchored by an oversized marble island wrapped in warm wood cabinetry. Waterfall stone edges and integrated storage enhance functionality while maintaining a refined visual composition.
Floating wood shelving softens the architectural lines, while brass fixtures introduce subtle contrast against the neutral palette.
californialuxuryhouses reviewed listing materials indicating the kitchen was designed not only for daily use but also for entertaining against the dramatic mountain backdrop.
“The kitchen is positioned so that every gathering naturally centers around the views,” Zeldner added.
The breakfast nook extends toward panoramic glass, creating a casual dining space that visually connects to the surrounding terrain.
Private Primary Wing With Lounge and Spa Bath
The primary suite occupies a dedicated wing of the home, emphasizing privacy and retreat-like comfort. The bedroom features minimalist styling layered with warm wood textures and soft neutral tones.
A private media lounge sits just beyond the sleeping area, centered around a marble fireplace and built-in shelving. Large glass panels open directly to outdoor space, reinforcing the connection between architecture and nature.
The en-suite bathroom continues the material narrative with marble surfaces, natural wood cabinetry, and oversized windows that frame forested views.
According to Zeldner, the suite was designed as a complete personal retreat.
“It functions almost like a private apartment within the home,” he told californialuxuryhouses. “The layout supports both relaxation and everyday living.”
Guest Suites and Flexible Living Spaces
Additional bedrooms are arranged to provide both comfort and flexibility. Two guest rooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom featuring marble countertops and matte black fixtures, while a separate suite includes a wet bar and private patio access—ideal for extended guests or creative studio use.
Clean architectural lines, built-in cabinetry, and expansive glazing ensure each room benefits from natural light and surrounding views.
Property records reviewed by californialuxuryhouses confirm the residence spans approximately 4,348 square feet with five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Elevated Outdoor Living Above Boulder Valley
Outdoor spaces play a defining role in the home’s lifestyle appeal. Three separate terraces provide distinct experiences tied to the terrain and views.
The main terrace features an infinity-edge pool that appears to hover above the valley, accompanied by an outdoor kitchen, fire lounge, and heating systems for year-round use.
Above the main structure, a rooftop deck offers panoramic vistas stretching from the iconic Flatirons to the expansive Continental Divide.
At night, the elevated position transforms the rooftop into a natural stargazing platform—one of the property’s most distinctive lifestyle features.
Zeldner told californialuxuryhouses that this element has become a major selling point.
“There are very few homes where you can see both city lights and untouched wilderness at the same time.”
Transaction Timeline and Reason for Sale
Jeremy Bloom purchased the ridgeline parcel in 2017 and spent approximately six years designing and building the residence before its completion in 2023. The home is now listed for $14 million, just a few years after construction concluded.
Sources familiar with the listing indicated to californialuxuryhouses that Bloom’s evolving lifestyle influenced the decision to sell, particularly as family priorities and spatial needs have shifted.
californialuxuryhouses also attempted to reach Bloom for additional insight into the architectural process but did not receive further comment prior to publication.
Boulder Luxury Market and Community Appeal
The property sits within one of Boulder’s most sought-after mountain communities, offering both privacy and accessibility. Downtown Boulder’s dining scene, boutique retail, and cultural attractions are approximately 15 minutes away, while nearby trail systems and outdoor recreation continue to attract luxury buyers seeking a nature-driven lifestyle.
Easy access to regional highways and Denver’s economic corridor further strengthens the area’s long-term real estate appeal.
According to Zeldner, Pine Brook Hills remains one of the most architecturally distinctive micro-markets in Boulder.
“Homes at this elevation with custom architecture and unobstructed views are extremely rare,” he said.
