Owned by Billionaire Bill Koch.
The 17-bedroom, 28,000- square-foot lodge compound, which includes a swimming pool and tennis court, sits on 52 acres near the ghost town of Ashcroft. The sale closed Tuesday.

First a homestead in 1907, then a dude ranch in the 1930s, the Elk Mountain Lodge became a popular wedding and event venue in the late 1980s.

The property sold for $ 3.5 million in 1992 and was listed for $ 24.5 million before it went under contract in September 2006, according to county records and published reports. It was listed as one of the most expensive ski homes in the U.S. by Forbes in 2005.
