The upscale Rocky Mountain residence of Lois Pope, the widow of media mogul Generoso Pope Jr., who is credited with transforming the National Enquirer into the sensationalist tabloid it is today, has just sold for $24.5 million.

Built in 2001, the seven-bedroom house sits on nearly 200 acres in Snowmass, Colorado, an affluent ski resort. Listing records show the house had been on and off the market since at least 2008, with asking prices ranging from $25 million to $36 million. It was most recently asking $34.5 million.
