904 Willoughby Way, Aspen, CO 81611

$14,500,000

Nestled into a grove of soaring pines and aspen, the approach from Willoughby Road is discreet, offering maximum privacy and a hushed, woodland silence.

From your delightfully secluded south-facing courtyard, enjoy day-long sunshine, relax to the sound of the Roaring Fork River below, and marvel at your spectacular view of Aspen’s most beautiful peaks.

An elegant stone courtyard with a stunning array of flowers greets you and your guests.

Upon entering through rich, double doors, there is a generous unfolding of space, light and warmth from this central foyer.

The home enjoys two living spaces - a formal living area (pictured in the foreground) and a cozy TV sitting area (in the background).

Designed for comfortable conversation, the living room spills out to the stone patio with two sets of french doors on either side of the room.

Large picture windows frame views of the Continental Divide and AJAX.

A beautiful and peaceful TV area with a stone fireplace.

At the center of the home, the dining room owns the view — from a generous courtyard to the summit of Ajax beyond.

An elegant limestone fireplace warms this welcoming space, while soaring ceilings and double-floor glass windows provide guests with endless vistas.

Adjacent but unobtrusive, the spacious chef’s kitchen converts easily from warm family hub to a second entertaining space. Surrounding the generous central island, a bank of custom-crafted, distressed alder cabinetry – ample enough for a season’s worth of easy entertaining. The resident chef will appreciate the 6-burner gas range, a huge Sub-Zero refrigerator, two dishwashers, a walk-in pantry, and a kitchen desk.

The master suite enjoys dramatic one-hundred-eighty-degree views that traverse from the eastern summit of the Continental Divide, past Aspen Mountain, to Mt Sopris to the west.

A gas fireplace warms the space while sounds of the Roaring Fork River remind you that you're in Aspen. Two glass doors lead to the private hot tub.

Located off of master bedroom, with views toward Buttermilk/Tiehack

The master bath - with stunning views framed from the tub - and spacious dressing room complete this remarkable private suite.

Located next to the living area and a few steps from the master is a quiet and serene study.

Whether welcoming guests or embracing an extended family, this remarkable home continues to unfold into intriguing private spaces.

All of the guest bedrooms enjoy ensuite baths.

Above the garage, a third, spacious, master guest suite perches like a private aerie. Luxurious in dimension, with windows on three sides, this elegant suite feels like a secluded treehouse, with its view of summer’s shimmering aspens.

This space was once a recording studio and could still be used for that function. Adjacent is a soundproof room with pinball machines and an air hockey table for the kids.

The entire backyard of this home has breathtaking views of Ajax, Highlands, Pyramid Peak and Tiehack.

Views of the Continental Divide, the face of Ajax, and Thunderbowl at Aspen Highlands

The lovely backyard perched above the Rio Grande Trail and the Roaring Fork River (which you can hear) is magnificent and extremely private. A path from here accesses the river below and a network of trails to town, the music festival, and to Woody Creek.

From the back yard, meander down a quiet wooded pathway, cross the bridge, and be downtown in less than 20 minutes. Savor the stimulation of the legendary Aspen Institute and, during summer, the Music Festival — all, a short stroll from this remarkable site.

This trail to The Aspen Institute Campus and the music tent is just a short walk away from the backyard of the property.

The river can be easily heard from the master suite and from the backyard. There is access to it from the property via a short path which winds down to the Rio Grande Trail and the Roaring Fork running beside it.

Overview

Description

A warm and elegant mountain estate privately sited in a grove of soaring evergreens and aspens, with front row, pristine views of the Cont'l Divide, Ajax, Highlands, Pyramid, Tiehack, and Snowmass. The secret to this home is its proportion and an almost magical sense of unfolding spaces. It's spacious, comfortable and finely finished. Filled with light, the home features 3 fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen, a study, media and exercise rooms, and a wonderful floorplan. Beautifully landscaped with terraces for dining and lounging, plus a spa tucked into the trees. Easy path down to Rio Grande Trail. The Aspen Institute campus, music tent, and town, all an easy walk. Beautifully maintained. Unusual for Red Mtn, there is virtually no awareness of neighbors here. Extremely private and quiet.
