A Walmart heir’s purchase of properties in Cherry Hills Village last month easily took the No. 1 spot amongst local residential sales in May.
Ben and Lucy Walton, acting as Terra Nevada LLC, purchased four parcels in Cherry Hills Village for $22 million on May 11, according to property records. Walton is the grandson of Walmart founder Sam Walton.
The Waltons purchased four parcels on East Stanford Avenue and South Vine Way. Arapahoe County records indicate the combined site is nearly 8 acres with three homes.
The properties were sold in an off-market deal by Stanford & Vine LLC, which is managed by local wildcatter William D. Armstrong, the CEO of Armstrong Oil & Gas, records show.
It’s the second priciest residential sale ever in the metro area, trailing only Russell Wilson and Ciara’s purchase in April of a Cherry Hills Village home for $25 million, which BusinessDen was the first to report on.
Here are the next four priciest local home sales from May, according to MLS:
