1425 Red Butte Drive , Aspen, CO 81611(Pitkin County)

Picture this: You're pulling up to 1425 Red Butte Drive and the first thing that hits you is the lot-two-thirds of an acre of old-growth aspens and pines that feel like they've been here since the miners were still arguing over silver prices. In a town where most yards are either akin to a courtyard or basically decorative postage stamps clinging to a cliff, this place has a legit flat, grassy meadow big enough for touch-football games, snowball fights, or that inflatable unicorn your kid swears is 'essential.' Yeah, that kind of rare. The house itself? A classic 1970s Aspen charmer that never got the memo to become a soulless glass box. Four bedrooms, every single one with its own en-suite bath (because no one should have to negotiate shower schedules on vacation... or on a Tuesday in February). All the living happens above grade, so sunlight pours in like it's got a personal vendetta against gloom. Massive windows, vaulted ceilings, and a living room that begs for hot toddies, hot chocolate and tall tales after a big day on Highland Bowl or Hero's. Need to actually get work done between powder days? There's a big, separate office that doesn't feel like a converted closet-perfect for Zoom calls where you casually flex the lush foliage in the background. Outside: multiple fire pits (yes, plural) for nights when the stars feel close enough to high-five. Parking? Bring the Sprinter van, the Suburban, the Rover, and your buddy's Tesla-he'll still have room to practice his three-point turns. Storage? Skis, bikes, fat tires, snow shoes, climbing gear... it all disappears into the ample storage space like a magic trick. Location is the quiet little secret locals don't like to shout about. Red Butte is the hidden tree tunnel neighborhood everyone wishes they lived in-dead silent at night, zero through traffic, yet you can be sipping a martini In The Hotel Jerome living room in no time. And with the nearby shuttle stop picking up and dropping off every 20 minutes, you don't even have to drive yourself. Or skip the autos entirely: hop on the Rio Grande Trail two blocks away and roll straight into town on your ebike. Going the other direction? You have access to the entire Aspen trail network. Translation: your kids can bike to Aspen Elementary and the ARC without you having a panic attack, and you can pretend you're training for the Elk Mountains Grand Traverse when really you're just sneaking off for morning turns. Available for the perfect week-long ski bender, a remote winter-season getaway, or an epic summer of hiking, biking, wildflowers, and music festivals. Bring the dogs, bring the kids, bring the au pair, bring the skis, and (if you must) even bring the snowboards ;) -this place has room for the whole circus. Your friends will hate you - In the best way possible. 1425 Red Butte Drive. Old-school soul, new-school convenience, and a yard that makes the rest of Aspen look spatially challenged.
