ASPEN, COLORADO

Aspen, Colorado
Aspen, Colorado

It’s about the altitude in the High Rocky city of Aspen, which at almost 8,000 feet above sea level, offers a bird’s eye view of the world. And it’s about the lifestyle. Building on a reputation for its world-class slopes and the best in Colorado luxury homes for sale, Aspen draws not only ski-lovers but also many for its leadership in environmental stewardship. Residents never take their breathtaking natural assets for granted.

Aspen was first developed around the 1880s as a silver mining camp. By the 1940s it became better known for white powder than silver, in large part to Chicago industrialist and philanthropist Walter Paepcke and his wife, Elizabeth. The two became Aspen’s cultural ambassadors, touting Aspen’s natural aesthetics as a place where the body, mind and soul could thrive. Minions joined them creating an Aspen renaissance. Today, this alpine village nestled at the head of Roaring Fork Valley and surrounded by the public lands of White River National Forest, is an eco-oasis.

It has, at once, both a small-town charm and an urban sophistication, among the reasons international second and third-home owners are drawn to one of the priciest real estate markets of luxury ranches, private estates, mansions, ski homes and condos in the country. That only a small percentage of land can be developed due to zoning laws and the physical constraints of the surrounding mountains keeps values strong.  Fine dining abounds, along with cultural amenities and institutions, arts, culinary and food festivals and exclusive shopping.

We were able to purchase our home within weeks – not easy coming from another state, and not easy during Covid! Chris was always available, seemingly in the middle of the night at times, to review options, set appointments, and make sure we understood the process and market. He knows the market and understood how to navigate it. To do all of this, in a matter of weeks, during very difficult circumstances was quite a feat. He has our highest recommendation!

Chris did an excellent job of finding me the perfect Aspen property… and it took a while! He hung in there and showed me tons of homes that met my criteria. And, once we had a contract, his attention to detail and follow through made my closing possible without a hitch despite my international travels. I highly recommend Chris!!!
