A New Equestrian Estate Overlooking Aspen, Colorado

Listing of the Day

Location: Aspen, Colorado

Price: $44 million

This sprawling mountain contemporary home is awe inspiring, not least because of its immaculate views of Aspen and the surrounding mountains. The large property affords perfect privacy. "No detail has been overlooked and no cost was spared," said Amy Doherty of Douglas Elliman.

The developers even cut in a third-of-a-mile-long driveway and brought in 200 pine trees, making Mopani Estate an accessible, but truly private Aspen retreat. And the compound is equidistant from the airport and Aspen, just 10-minutes drive from each. "This is the closest equestrian estate to Aspen on the market today," Ms. Doherty said.

Every inch of the home, from the wide-plank walnut floors to the tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings to the pristine floor-to-ceiling windows, has been designed to strike the right chord of alpine luxury.

Expansiveness characterizes this home, with ceilings at 11-feet and higher. Custom fireplaces, featuring book-matched marble, bring coziness and elegance, and create warm, inviting areas to take in the stunning views of Mt. Sopris, Red Mountain, and the Continental Divide.

The Stats

Standing on a 44.6-acre equestrian property, the estate was completed in 2016. The compound includes a 13,400-square-foot main house with six bedrooms, six full bathrooms (all en-suite) and two half baths, as well as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom 1,550-square-foot guest house, and a 2,750-square-foot fully outfitted stable.

Amenities

In addition to the many spaces for entertaining throughout the home, the estate also includes a 300-bottle wine cellar, a home theater, and an art gallery leading to the master suite. Two professional-grade outdoor kitchens and outdoor fireplaces make entertaining just as comfortable outdoors as it is inside.  For those who don’t feel like hitting the slopes or going horseback riding, the home includes its own fully equipped gym.

Talking Point

"The property sits right on Buttermilk Mountain, near the top, so you can ski right into the property," Ms. Doherty said. What’s more, "in the summer, there are lots of trails for horses. The stable," which can accommodate four, "is like nothing you’ve ever seen," Ms.  Doherty said.
