Aspen French Chateau
Nestled at the top of Buttermilk superpipe in Aspen Colorado sits the once referred to "Target Chalet".
The 14,000 square foot home sitting on 8.6 acres in Aspen was built as a spec home and has had one tennant to date, The Target Corp; AKA (Targay), who rented out the chateau for Winter X Game athletes and their entourages.
An extremely great place to park it and perform on and off the slopes.
In April of 2009, the palatial residence sold for a mere $12 million an actual real estate bargain as it's original asking price was $26 million. Not a bad price for the buyer of the one time pad to some of the now infamous Olympic medal winners.
The entire interior is very Aspen in theme and the only views that I could find are from a video listed below.A totally different location than the current Olympic competition, but a once home base camp for snow boarders in 2008.
So let's go inside for a tour of the Targay Chalet.
The interior of the Chalet is seen in the new video game from Shaun White, sold exclusively thru Target stores. The interiors of the Chalet are where the snowboarders come back to recoop after competing. The basement has a dungeon themed wine cellar, Fender & Guitar Hero jam room as well as a private chef for evening meals and party planning. The home was considered home base for all things Target at the 2008 Winter X-Games in Aspen Colorado.
