Unveiling Steve Wynn’s Snowy Mansion Empire in Idaho: A Casino King’s Expectations of Massive Profits
The expansive Ketchum, Idaho mansion that Steve Wynn owns and is selling for $27 million. The most costly property in the state.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the 81-year-old man has been gradually selling $300 million worth of real estate from his own portfolio, starting with a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, that cost $78.5 million and ending with a penthouse in New York City that cost $90 million.
He received $17.5 million for the sale of his home in Las Vegas, and $32 million for the sale of his mansion on the lake in Palm Beach. the year before.
The four-acre megacompound in Idaho is spread across two separate homes. Both the main house and the guesthouse date back to 1979 and were built on the same property.
The mountain retreat spans 15,453 square feet and features 11 bedrooms in addition to 14 bathrooms.
According to Sue Engelmann, an agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Sun Valley Properties, the casino magnate purchased the property in 2009 and totally renovated it in 2014.
According to Engelmann, Steve purchased a rustic cabin in the mountains that was mostly dark wood. “He brightened up the place by making additions to the residence. After opening the windows, everything became noticeably brighter. He gave it a complete makeover and added two wings to it. In the year 2021, he constructed a swimming pool and a spa.
The primary residence has a massage room, a gym, a catering kitchen, and a movie room in addition to its “hotel-caliber” six en suite bedrooms. The great area features a cathedral ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the mountains.
Windows, built-in shelves, and a fireplace can all be found in a nearby pub. The open kitchen features wood-beam ceilings, high-end appliances, and a sizable granite center island for additional seating and preparation space.
According to Engelmann, the property is remote despite its proximity to the town. It is adjacent to 16 acres of open space that is held by the group.
The lavish amenities of the mansion give the impression of being on vacation all year round.
Engelmann claims that the home is comparable to living in a suite at the Wynn Hotel, complete with amenities such as slippers, robes, and his-and-hers toilets in each bathroom. The lighting he uses is worthy of a museum. The lanes of the pool are lit up so that people can swim at night. Remodeling scrutinized every detail.”
A gorgeous primary suite that includes a fireplace, an extra-long vanity, a walk-in closet, and sliders that lead out to a private terrace may be reached by way of a floating, illuminated, curved stairway.
“The whole house runs on a Crestron system—lighting, blinds, fireplaces, security, AV, etc.—and can be controlled remotely,” Engelmann continues. “The Crestron system is responsible for all of these functions.”
“I think the next owner will probably be someone who has grown kids or grandchildren and might want to build next door for extended family,” she says of this exceptional property. “I think the next owner will probably be someone who has grown kids or grandchildren.”
People have expressed interest in purchasing the guesthouse on its own, but Steve is adamant that the buyer of the main house also acquire the acreage immediately adjacent to it.
