In June, a storied Vail icon made a transition: A For Sale sign appeared on one of the most Instagrammed landmarks in Vail Village. Dating to 1969, the five-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot penthouse unit of the Bell Tower Residences (a three-story cuckoo clock on Gore Creek Drive with an elevator and a central spiral staircase; listed with Tyra Rudrud of Engel & Völkers, 970-376-2258) has been in the same family for 40 years. Asking price? $13.2 million. Too steep for you? The condo sleeps 10 and is available for rent ($1,600/night, five-night minimum). belltowervail.com
