Private fishing - a tributary of the Roaring Fork runs in front of the house and the river is about 100 yards away. The tributary is averages 40 feet in width with 9 separate pools. Hundreds of catch and release trout.
WINTER BENEFITS! We only get about 25% of the snow that is received in Aspen which means you almost never have to worry about getting out of your driveway to go skiing. Our south facing home overlooks a deer and elk migration corridor. This means that you will watch the animals cross the river and feed on our south facing river banks almost on a daily basis. Our winter fishing is spectacular. We have 9 separate pools and the brown trout spawn in Rainbow Creek in the late fall. For fishermen interested in floating the Roaring Fork or the Colorado River, the owner could make available his river boat for winter fishing. We live close to Highway 82 which is the four lane road leading to the ski slopes. This road is usually the first cleared and ready for full operation by 9 am in the morning. In addition, we also offer heated sidewalk and garage aprons for easy access for your guests and car.
Aspen/Snowmass/Buttermilk/Highlands ski areas are an easy 25 minute drive up valley. Sunlight ski resort is 20 minutes down valley and Beaver Creek and Vail just an hour away. The climate is warmer and sleeping is more comfortable at the lower elevation (6500 ft).
Our home and guest house are expensively decorated and yet have an ease of living to them. The sound of the river and changing lights through the Aspen trees create an atmosphere that cannot be purchased.
Both houses front 1,200 feet at the confluence of the Roaring Fork River. The main house has three bedrooms and three baths. You can relax in the hot tub on the patio or give your muscles a rest on the electric massage table in the master bedroom.
The 1100 square foot guesthouse provides privacy and has its own garage, upstairs bedroom, kitchen, bath and TV. Downstairs there is another TV, pool table, half bath and pull out queen sofa bed. An outside deck has incredible views! Please see listing 370700 for rental of guest house only.
World class restaurants are located just 1 minute from our location and just 1 minute away there is a wonderful grocery store with extensive deli (City Market) and another specialty food store, Epicurious. Excellent carryout is available, too. We have a homebook with all the information you will need.
