WINTER BENEFITS! We only get about 25% of the snow that is received in Aspen which means you almost never have to worry about getting out of your driveway to go skiing. Our south facing home overlooks a deer and elk migration corridor. This means that you will watch animals cross the river and feed on our south facing river banks almost on a daily basis. We live close to Highway 82 which is the four land road leading to the ski slopes. This road is usually the first cleared and ready for full operation by 8 am in the morning. In addition, we also offer heated sidewalk and garage aprons for easy access for your guest and cars.

PRIVATE FISHING - a tributary of the Roaring Fork River runs in front of the house and the river is about 100 years away. The tributary averages 40 feet in width with 9 separate pools. Hundreds of catch and release trout. We are located across from a nature conservancy--a path leads across the island in front of our house to the roaring Fork River. This opens up over A MILE of fishing in both directions with no access allowed from the conservancy side of the river. For fishermen interested in floating the Roaring Fork or Colorado River, the owner could make available his river boat.
