DENVER — For the first time in 70 years, a property in the exclusive Polo Club subdivision of Denver's Belcaro neighborhood has gone on the market with an eye-popping asking price.

"In almost three-quarters of a century it has not been brought to market, and there's nothing like it. It's one of the largest estates in Denver," explained Behr, who is co-listing the property with Linda Behr.
