This top floor, Chateau Roaring Fork corner condo with 270-degree views is located just three blocks from the Aspen Mountain Silver Queen Gondola, City Market and Downtown. The cathedral ceiling and floor to ceiling glass wall make it feel even larger than it is. From the spacious living/dining room you are treated to views of Aspen Mountain; and from the Master Bedroom are views of the Roaring Fork River and Independence Pass.
The owners of this beautifully furnished mountain home just completed a designer re-model of the living, kitchen and bedroom areas in 2008 with the goal of capturing the spectacular views and location; while stressing comfort, coziness and convenience. The floor to ceiling glass on the south and west sides of the dining room brings the mountain inside. You have your morning coffee while watching skiers on Little Nell. This is the best location to watch Aspen’s renowned fireworks displays.
The kitchen and dining room feature granite countertops with a matching granite table for eight. There is a new gourmet kitchen, including cherry cabinets, a large gas range, and all new stainless steel appliances with a convection oven/microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with icemaker, a separate wine cooler and a gas grill on the deck.
The living room has a gas fireplace inserted in an artist designed tile chimney and a flat screen television with DVD. You relax on a large, upscale leather couch, with both cove and Italian glass lighting fixtures. The unit is fully serviced by Wi-Fi, allowing you to work comfortably on your laptop. Comcast cable to all of the televisions includes HBO.
The Master Bedroom has a king size bed with a superfoam mattress, a flat screen television, an I-Pod docking system with a clock radio and a wall mounted fountain.
The other two bedrooms have wall mounted flat screen televisions with DVD’s, I-Pod docking system with clock radios and two extra length twin beds. At your request, the twin beds can be joined and made as a king size bed.
Your stay includes DAILY MAID SERVICE. Fresh towels and linens are provided daily, and sheets are changed after three days. Free domestic long distance calling is provided. There is also a full size washer and dryer, and a Rinnai Instant hot water system assuring that you will never run out of hot water.
The Chateau Roaring Fork has the largest pool in Aspen, accompanied by two large hot tubs. They are great meeting places in which to soak after skiing, and a wonderful amenity in the summertime also. There is also a sauna, a small workout room, and community access to computers in case you didn’t bring your laptop.

Sunny Aspen Penthouse - Par 4 to Gondola - Call 4 Details
Year Purchased: 1986
Why the Owner Chose Aspen
We had owned another condominium about a block away from this one since 1972. It did not have the open sunny feel we now enjoy, nor did it have the spectacular views that we always coveted in this Chateau Roaring Fork unit. When this high ceilinged, south facing unit, with 270 degree views including both the Roaring Fork river and Aspen mountain came available in 1986 we jumped on it. We knew that its sunny exposure with all day sun, and high ceilings made it very special. We were right.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We try to never touch a car while we are in Aspen. We either walk or take our bike everywhere. The Gondola and Little Nell Hotel are straight out our door, down the street, a par 4 away. City Market is two blocks away. All of downtown Aspen is at your fingertips, as are bike paths, the Ute Trail, and the bus station. This is the perfect example of Location, Location, Location!
Until late 2008 we rented our unit through management companies, but frankly, after our unit fix up we wanted to know who was staying our unit; and we wanted to provide our guests with a higher degree of cleaning and service than what we were experiencing with the management companies.
Our housekeeper, Abi, is loved by all of our guests. Abi usually provides daily maid service. Abi was previously a supervisor of housekeeping at one of Aspens best known hotels. She has taught us a lot, that has made our guests very happy.
The Silver Queen Gondola is the primary access up Aspen Mountain, the plaza down below connects it to the world renowned Little Nell Hotel.
Regular bus service to Snowmass, Highlands, Buttermilk, Glenwood Springs.
Pedestrian mall with great restaurants, boutiques, people and dog watching
The complex has the largest swimming pool in Aspen. It is open year round. Busiest apres ski, and with families in the summertime, after morning activities before the music festival.
Owner's Map of Aspen
We met on a chairlift on Aspen Mountain in 1974. We live in Colorado, and so come up often, skiing and snowshoeing in the winter, hiking, riding our tandem bike (the adjoining picture of us with our tandem is on the bike trail in Glenwood Canyon), enjoying the music festival in the summer and relaxing by the pool complex at our place. In 2008 we completed a designer remodel of our unit, with the goal of making it the most comfortable and inviting. After an active day we often times grill on the barbecue on our deck, a wonderful place from which to toast the sunset and appreciate what a wonderful place Aspen is.
