Set on twelve private acres on Aspen's coveted East Side, this distinctive estate offers a rare balance of seclusion and proximity, located just 1.5 miles from downtown Aspen with effortless access by foot, bicycle, or car. Directly across from the private driveway entrance, a dedicated bike path provides a scenic and safe route into town, seamlessly connecting the residence to Aspen's core while preserving a sense of retreat.
Thoughtfully screened from Highway 82, the property enjoys a tranquil setting with the opportunity to selectively open views toward Aspen Mountain and the adjacent 250-acre protected nature preserve, renowned for its cross-country trails, walking paths and river beaches accessed by paddle board. The home spans approximately 5,200 square feet, all above grade, where cathedral-height wood ceilings and custom beams anchor the living spaces, creating warmth and architectural continuity throughout.
An open kitchen and dining area flows into the living room, where two gas fireplaces create an inviting atmosphere for gatherings and relaxed evenings, with easy walk-out access to a patio overlooking a grassy, tree-framed yard ideal for outdoor enjoyment. The main-level primary suite features a marble bath with double vanity, steam shower, jetted soaking tub, and a walk-in closet with stacked laundry. A private office and powder room complete the main level.
A dramatic spiral staircase rises beneath an architectural glazed cupola, filling the entry with natural light and serving as a striking focal point, leading to a walk-out lower level with garden access, a custom mountain-western bar with cooled wine storage, an additional living area with gas fireplace, three bedroom suites with ensuite baths, and a full laundry room. An additional non-conforming ADU-style suite above the garage provides flexible guest accommodations, bringing the total to five bedroom suites.
With seasonal closure of Independence Pass ensuring quiet winter living and direct, traffic-free routes into town, this East Side offering delivers privacy, connectivity, and lifestyle in equal measure. A parking motorcourt exists at the entry for guests directy off the two car garage.
