wsjrealestate Christy Thompson, the daughter of late Texas oil executive J. Cleo Thompson, has sold one Aspen, Colo., mansion for $60 million and is purchasing another for $51 million. The deals will be some of the most expensive ever recorded in the affluent mountain destination, records show. Ms. Thompson and her husband, Stephen Hill, who are real-estate investors, have sold a mansion near the center of downtown Aspen in an off-market deal for $60 million. The buyer was Todd Lemkin, chief investment officer at Canyon Partners, the Dallas-based investment firm. Earlier this month, Mr. Lemkin and his wife, Kasey Lemkin, sold a historic home in the center of Aspen for $32.25 million, records show. Mr. Lemkin didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Ms. Thompson and Mr. Hill are now slated to pay $51 million to buy a house about 3.5 miles from downtown Aspen from the venture capitalist Lawrence F. De George, though the deal has not yet closed. The house came on the market for $49 million in July 2020, but the price was increased to $51 million last summer because of how hot the market had gotten for high-end homes in the area, said listing agent Carrie Wells of Coldwell Banker Mason Morse.
