Overview

Description

A truly remarkable offering in Aspen's iconic West End, this expansive 17,165 sq ft parcel presents a rare chance to create a multi-residence compound with all major approvals already in place. The property is entitled for two free-market homes, including an approximately 8,000 sq ft primary residence and a 4,000 sq ft secondary home, thoughtfully designed to capture sweeping west-facing vistas toward Mt. Sopris. Tucked away with discreet access from the enhanced 8th Street alley, the setting offers remarkable privacy while remaining moments from the heart of town. Generous grounds allow for a pool, substantial outdoor living, and beautifully scaled green space—delivering the feel of a private estate within one of Aspen's most distinguished neighborhoods. Notably, this represents the largest available lot within Aspen town limits.
