Inside James Packer’s lavish Aspen property

The past six months have had dramatic twists and turns for James Packer following his dramatic split from Grammy winning diva Mariah Carey.

But the 50-year-old Australian casino mogul seems to have bounced back after recently enjoying the holiday season with his nearest and dearest at his jointly shared Aspen property, West Buttermilk Estate.

The billionaire confirmed with the Sydney Morning Herald that he had enjoyed the ‘best Christmas ever’ and ‘magical’ time with his three children Indigo, nine, Jackson, seven, and Emmanuelle, five, their mother and his ex wife Erica Packer, whom he shares the estate with.

The lavish property offers seven spacious bedrooms and seven bathrooms, enough to accommodate his kids, family and guests. 

The home also has a state-of-the-art kitchen with an island breakfast bench and solid timber cabinetry, a medieval-style dining room and a generously sized living room with ceiling-to-floor windows looking out to the scenic hills.  

But the home isn’t without its luxurious features including a theatre room, bar, steam room, a games room with a Billiard table, a cosy library filled with a large collection of books and a fire place.

Stone masonry and iron chandeliers are present throughout the home giving it a stylishly antiquated feel.

For outdoor entertaining, the house has beautifully landscaped front and backyards with a fire pit, a man-made rock formation waterfall and lake with views looking out to the picturesque mountain views. 

The former couple purchased the estate for over $20million according to the Sydney Morning Herald in 2013, the year they split up.    

The publication also reported that Erica recently met with James’ new flame, New York-based socialite Kylie Lim, and it happy he has found love again since splitting up from Mariah Carey last October. 

It is also understood that he has even introduced his kids to the Canadian-born beauty.

This is the first holiday Erica and James have spent together since their split in 2013.

James also spent the holiday with his first wife: glamour-model-turned-sportswear-designer Jodhi Meares.

He admitted to the publication: ‘For better or worse, the two women who know me best are my best friends.’

Last August, the luxurious property also played host to Erika’s Midsummer Night’s Dream themed 40th birthday bash.

The former model’s milestone occasion was attended by her friends Orlando Bloom, Lachlan and Sarah Murdoch.
