NFL Player Alvin Kamara Lived at This $10 Million Colorado Home

An NFL star hunkered down in this Boulder, Colorado, home all summer long, but it could be yours by the start of winter.

The $10 million property served as the home base for New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara while he trained in Boulder over the summer. The 30-year-old NFL vet is a five-time Pro Bowl player and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year during his first season in the league. Joel Ripmaster at Slifer Smith & Frampton holds the listing.

The wood-and-glass abode cuts a striking figure among Colorado’s Flatirons, with the structure actually carved into the slope and mimicking the chunky shapes of the rock formations. Designed by local architect Matt McMullan, the residence is meant to be one with nature, incorporating aspects that nod to all four elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. One of the most striking features lies between the kitchen and the dining room, where water runs over a massive boulder from the Flatirons.

The emphasis on water continues in a koi pond next to the kitchen. It’s also visible from the floating glass stairwell that leads to the primary bedroom—dubbed the Bird’s Nest, as it’s suspended above the rest of the home. Earth, meanwhile, is evident in the materials used throughout: mahogany ceilings and floors, Jerusalem stone, and wenge wood and ebony macassar millwork. Three fireplaces on the main level, along with the radiant-heated floors, nod to fire, while the cantilevered Pilkington structural glass walls expose the house to the wind and air just outside.

Sitting as it does amid the raw Mountain West landscape, the abode offers plenty of additional space and amenities for relaxation. Outdoors, there are three separate garden terraces, with one above the garage providing a prime location for grilling and alfresco dining. If you consider yourself more of an indoor animal, the home theater is outfitted with theater recliners for kicking back. And, for overflow guests—or to get away from guests—a total retreat is found in the one-bedroom guesthouse, which has a private entrance, a full kitchen, and even its own garage.

In total, the property includes five bedrooms and six full baths over 8,427 square feet. An elevator connects all the different levels, with the high-altitude location offering sweeping views of the surrounding community, from downtown Boulder to the university campus to the surrounding Flatirons.
