Amid the tranquility of the Rocky Mountains, just outside the storied resort town of Aspen, this incomparable 74-acre estate represents an unprecedented opportunity to own a lovingly, painstakingly created and maintained alpine compound that can never be matched or replicated.
The property borders public land, yet downtown Aspen is a mere mile away, easily reached via a bucolic riverside stroll, a short bicycle ride, or a quick drive. Decades of vigilant development and care has resulted in a virtual private ecosystem. The gentle terrain is home to miles of formally marked trails--groomed in winter for cross-country skiing--a lake teeming with thriving trout, a vibrant habitat for all manner of birds and wildlife, a refreshing infinity-edge 80 foot pool, breezy covered and open-air terraces for basking in the view, and frontage on the Roaring Fork River. In this luxurious compound, every amenity is in place.
The heart of the estate is a grand 18,466-square-foot residence fondly known as Little Lake Lodge, set beside a pristine, private lake amid thoughtfully chosen native landscaping and preserved wild flora. Conscientious negotiation with Pitkin County has allowed for the future construction of a second, distinguished 19,750-square-foot-residence--far beyond the area's current permitted maximum house size of 9,250-square-feet--resulting in a remarkable multigenerational compound. Completely engineered and ready-to-build plans by award-winning architectural firm Rowland + Broughton are part of the comprehensive offering. Accommodating guests or staff is a 5,286-square-foot modern home on the banks of the Roaring Fork River, constructed in 2014 all with en suite baths, a heated two-car garage, and storage. One charming 2,432-square-foot alpine-inspired residence offers three bedrooms and three baths; another spans 1,024 square feet and includes two bedrooms and baths.
Given its exceptional scale with four parcels of land, Little Lake Lodge represents the opportunity to establish an enduring legacy of luxury and harmony with a majestic natural setting--an opportunity unlikely to occur again in the great Mountain West.
