Nestled on lower Star Mesa Road just 10 minutes from Aspen, this one-of-a-kind private property offers breathtaking views of the upper Roaring Fork Valley and is surrounded by open space. Set on 17.6 acres, it features a charming, historic log home and barn—ready to be transformed into a spectacular estate. This unique opportunity allows you to live in the future guest house while building a main house, and also have a barn and greenhouse. Enjoy the romance of true Colorado mountain living on this ranch. The land's unique layout includes flat, usable spaces on the lower portion and gently sloping hillsides with scrub oak, aspen, and pine, making it ideal for development. The north boundary is defined by the picturesque Salvation Ditch, enhancing the property's tranquil setting and adding valuable water rights.
With southern exposure and unobstructed panoramic views of Mount Daly, Hayden Peak, and all four local ski areas, this site offers endless possibilities. Imagine transforming the existing structures with a new residence that blends cutting-edge design, modern craftsmanship, and the timeless charm. Bring your vision to life and create something truly exceptional. Recently updated with light renovations, the property is ready for its next chapter.
