I know, I know...you're concerned about that 25 mile drive to Aspen. Here's why it's not as big a deal as it may appear:
First, that distance is what allows this house to be such a great value. You'll be hard-pressed to find a house in Aspen (or even just outside Aspen) as nice as this, in such a nice spot, for less than twice the price.
Second, the drive is actually quite easy. Highway 82 is less than 1 mile from the driveway (but you can't see or hear it from the house). After that, it's a pretty straight shot into Aspen and parking is either free or just a few dollars a day.
If you want to stay in a quiet, secluded, luxurious house at a reasonable cost, you can't do much better than this.
