How Many Corvettes in this Garage Mahal Can You Name?


On Friday, our friends at Road & Track brought an interesting real estate opportunity to our attention. The property in question lies about an hour and a half from where this very story is being written, in Evergreen, Colorado. Any interested readers out there who are willing to part with just short of $20,000,000 could find themselves in possession of this 22,864 square foot, 7-bedroom, 12 bath (with four additional partial baths) “sanctuary” on a lovely 74.51-acre slice of the Rocky Mountains.

Some of the home’s highlights include a movie theatre based on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, multiple wet bars and fountains, a wine room, a semi-indoor pool complete with waterfall, grotto, and slide, and, the inspiration behind what you are currently reading, a 27,000+ square foot “car facility” with its own 1 bed, 2 bath live-in caretaker space (if any of you end up buying this thing, your author would like to throw his hat in the ring when you hire for that position!).

I’ll tell you this about Hennessey Performance…they sure know who to keep us entertained!

Hennessey hit a top speed of 200.6 mph becoming the first to break the 200 mph barrier in the C7 Corvette.
