Oil executive Stephen Rector is selling his home at 7 Village Road in Cherry Hills Village, which he and his wife spent years crafting.
Rector, president of Rim Operating, a private oil and gas firm, and his wife Susan bought the 2-acre property at 7 Village Road for $3 million in 2007.
They began working with an architect and spent two years creating the plans. Then, builder Lynn Harrison of Harrison Custom Homes spent 26 months constructing the 22,000-square-foot mansion, completed in 2011.
The Rectors wanted to give their home a Tuscan feel using wooden beams, stone, and brick. They used clay tiles from Portugal for the roof and created custom mantels from salvaged materials.
Susan Rector traveled to Paris and brought home the statue of a wine goddess to place in front of the home.
“No expense was spared,” Stephen Rector said.

It also features practical amenities, including in-floor radiant heat and a heated five-car garage.
The heated floors are one of Rector’s favorite features. The home also has forced air heat, “but in the direst, coldest times of the year the in-floor radiant heat feels so good.”
Among the mansion’s standout characteristics is a primary suite with wood-planked ceilings, a spa-like six-piece bath, dual closets and a library with outdoor access to a private patio and fireplace.
The main floor also features a gourmet kitchen with two islands and a butler’s pantry, three additional bedroom suites, a two-story family room with a stone fireplace and an office with custom-carved entry doors.

The outdoor space features landscaping with red maples, spruce, and pine trees to ensure privacy, a pool, a lighted tennis court and outdoor patios with fireplaces. The home also has an attached pool house with an indoor pool and a hot tub.
But as much as he loves his home, Rector said it’s time to downsize, so he listed the mansion for $10 million on Sept. 10 with Kate Perry of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty.
