Troy Lowrie, the Denver entrepreneur who built and then sold a portfolio of strip clubs across six states, is selling his Castle Pines mansion because he says the house deserves an owner who will be there full time.
Lowrie and his wife, Tenicia, are asking $7.8 million for the 11,147-square-foot home at 31 Albion Place, which overlooks the 12th hole of Castle Pines Golf Club. The couple bought the property in 2022 for $6.3 million after selling their longtime Golden mansion for $6.4 million.
Jerome and Mary Kern built the home in 2008. Jerome Kern, who died in 2024, was a telecommunications attorney and philanthropist widely credited with rescuing the Colorado Symphony from bankruptcy in 2011.
The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home was designed by BOSS Architecture and Semple Brown Design and named Home of the Year by Colorado Homes & Lifestyles magazine in 2012. It has a Castle Rock address because it’s in an incorporated part of Douglas County, just outside Castle Pines limits.
The Lowries weren’t in the market when they stumbled on it.
“We had already bought land in Sedalia and were planning to build,” Troy Lowrie said.
But then they walked through Albion Place. “It’s impossible to build something like this now. The concrete alone would cost at least $3 million,” he said.
Lowrie said the grounds hooked him, especially the year-round heated pools, the glass-walled garden studio and tea house, the koi pond with cascading waterfalls, fire features, and mature 250-foot pine trees on the 1.11-acre lot.
“You feel like you’re in the mountains,” he said.
The home blends centuries-old materials with a modern aesthetic. A 16th-century granite fireplace mantel anchors one room; a 17th-century marble mantel anchors another. Walls of glass throughout dissolve the boundary between inside and out, and a dramatic gallery-style entry opens to soaring ceilings.
After moving in, the Lowries put their own stamp on the home.
Tenicia Lowrie overhauled the kitchen, adding a pizza oven, a full-size refrigerator and freezer, a larger range and a warming oven.
She also updated her bathroom in the primary suite. Step 1: removing an empty fish tank from the shower.
“It looked like a hospital, not a home,” Tenicia Lowrie said. She converted it into a spa-inspired bath, with lighting that mimics falling raindrops.
They added a massage table to the tea house, already a meditative retreat.
Troy Lowrie said there’s room downstairs to add a golf simulator — though he admits he’s not much of a golfer. He plays pickleball and tennis.
“This house probably should belong to someone who plays golf,” he said.
The primary suite is a particular favorite. In addition to double baths and walk-in closets, it includes a sitting area with a television and couch — something Troy Lowrie was initially skeptical about.
“Now I couldn’t live without it,” he said.
The suite also has a small kitchen, and when they are home, the couple admits they often spend most of their time there. Tenicia Lowrie said she already knows she’ll miss her walk-in closet.
The retired couple plan to stay in Florida full time. Tenicia Lowrie is a co-founder of Lucy Sky Cannabis Boutique, a retail cannabis shop.
They have been splitting their time between Colorado and Florida, and if they could, Tenicia Lowrie said they would take their house with them.
During one of their extended absences, a bear got into the koi pond and ate all the fish.
“We feel like we’re cheating the house by only being here four months out of the year,” Troy Lowrie said. “It deserves a full-time caretaker.”
Listing agent Christine Malara with Compass-Denver said the home in the gated community likely will appeal to an executive or an athlete. Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix owns a home nearby.
Although the home feels secluded, it sits near Interstate 25. Denver Tech Center is about 15 minutes away, Dove Valley is 24 minutes, and Denver International Airport is 35 minutes away.
