The couple owns a collective 70 acres of land between two adjoining properties in Aspen and Old Snowmass, per a 2016 report from theDenver Post. Hawn owns the 2,700-square-foot guesthouse while Kurt owns the 6,500-square-foot, eight-bedroom main residence.
Hawn's sonOliver Hudsonhaspreviously described the Colorado home as a "time capsule,"which his mom "refuses" to modernize.
While taking a video call onLive with Kelly and Ryanfrom the guest house that Hawn owns in 2022, Oliver, 49, explained, "Mom built this house first, and then my stepdad Kurt built the other house. So we lived here in 1985 for two years."
"It's a bit of a time capsule," he added of the house. "Those curtains that you see are like 30 years old, you know what I mean? Mom refuses to update, which, kind of, is great."
