This home was originally designed and built by Daniel Gale, a renowned Aspen architect who also designed the Aspen Chapel. The property in its current state builds on Gale's vision and is primed for the next owner to complete a remodel. Set in an ideal location within Aspen's premier gated community of Starwood, this exceptional 2.6-acre lot offers options to either complete the current home or build on another portion of the lot to take advantage of the wide-open views from Independence Pass to Mt. Sopris. The acreage borders approximately 50 acres of protected open space that creates a serene setting, reduces airport impact and provides a rare sense of privacy and an extraordinary natural backdrop. Enjoy 24/7 gated security, private tennis courts, Nordic trails, horse pastures, open meadows and hiking paths... all just 5 miles from downtown Aspen.
