Former strip club owner selling Castle Pines mansion for $8M
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, 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.

For the last four seasons, Mitch Fraboni has been the Bronco long snapper (he was the LS for part of 2022). Long snappers are critical, but forgotten parts of every football team. Like offensive linemen, they only get noticed if they screw up.
Mitch is not only a competent long snapper, but he is also a decent tackler, getting anywhere from four to six tackles on punt coverage every season. Mitch had four tackles (3.5) last season on 75 punts – only 29 of which were returned. The leader on punt tackles for the Denver Broncos last season was JL Skinner with 5.5.
Position: LS | 6-2, 223lb (188cm, 101kg)
Admittedly only the gunners and the long snapper can be downfield before the punt is away, but Mitch is still an asset as a tackler on punt coverage.
Denver Broncos football is right around the corner.
As the 2026 World Cup nears its July 19 final, sports fans will soon begin turning their attention toward NFL training camps. The Broncos are set to open training camp on July 31 — two weeks from today — with the first of 14 practices open* to fans.
*Due to construction at the team’s facility, capacity at practice will be limited to approximately 1,000 fans, so (free) tickets are required to attend. Those tickets became available on July 1 and were quickly claimed. (Tickets are sometimes returned, though, so fans should check Ticketmaster for potential available tickets.)

Pedal boats are back at City Park in Denver this week and they come in more shapes than just swans.
On Wednesday, the city of Denver opened its newest so-called Adventure Hub where visitors can rent gear to enjoy on Ferril Lake. That includes pedal boats shaped like swans, dragons, ducks and flamingos, as well as kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddleboards. If you’d rather pedal on land instead of the water, the hub also has beach cruiser bikes and surrey bikes, which hold up to six people, available for rent.
City Park’s Adventure Hub is the second to open this year, following another at Washington Park in early June. Stephanie Figueroa, spokesperson for Denver Parks and Recreation, said rentals were supposed to start sooner at City Park, but that the electricity powering the point-of-sale system needed to be replaced after a fire at the historic bandshell there.
Water sport rentals cost range from $15 per hour for a SUP or single-person kayak to $35 per hour for swan, dragon and duck pedal boats, which fit up to four people. Bikes are similarly priced at $15 per hour for a single-person beach cruiser up to $45 per hour for a surrey “stretch limousine” for six riders. Figueroa noted that it is a flat fee and not a per-person charge.
“For families, as long as you fit, you can go,” she said, adding that gear is available for rent during the City Park Jazz series this summer.
This year marks the first time in at least two decades that Denver officials have managed gear rentals in City Park. The city ended its longtime contract with vendor Wheel Fun Rentals, which previously supplied things like swan pedal boats, in early 2026 after more than 20 years, Figueroa said.
Denver’s decision to take over operations was both more cost-effective and enabled the city to have more control over the experience, she added. Part of the impetus was a recent initiative called the Outdoor Adventure and Alternative Sports Strategic Plan, which sought to identify how Denver could offer more recreation opportunities to residents.
“That gave us the tools and knowledge to bring this in-house,” Figueroa said. “We have historically been amazing at indoor recreation and now we want to bring more of those opportunities outside.”
The Adventure Hub at City Park is open every day from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., while the one at Washington Park is open every day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. They are both closed on city-observed holidays.
Another Adventure Hub, currently under construction at Ruby Hill, is expected to open late this year or early next, Figueroa said.
