Public Remarks

Located just outside Aspen, Colorado, the 3,739 +/- acre St. Benedict's Monastery represents the largest holding in the immediate Snowmass/Aspen area. The property sits in a picturesque ranching valley surrounded by the lofty peaks of the Elk Mountain Range. Known for its peace and privacy, the Trappist monks have lived and managed this idyllic ranch for over 68 years. Wildlife and cattle have co-existed for years, and the ranch and adjoining protected lands have retained the same natural habitat and rural characteristics today as they did when the monks first arrived. - 30 minutes from Aspen - Situated in a private mountain valley in the - pristine Capitol Creek Valley - The largest property of its kind near Aspen - Three creeks meander through the ranch for over 5 miles - Irrigated meadows with historic water rights irrigating 1,200 acres - Features three main characteristics: 1.
