luxury houses with terrace for sale Aspen, United States

31 Northstar Circle is honored as Mountain Living's 2024 Home of the Year, a rare Aspen estate defined by scale, privacy, and architectural integrity, thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. Set on two private acres between Stillwater and Northstar Preserve, the property offers true seclusion just minutes from downtown Aspen. Originally designed by Lee Pardee and constructed with reclaimed logs salvaged from the historic Yellowstone fires, the residence underwent a comprehensive, nearly three-year renovation completed in 2023 by Jason Gleasman Construction. The result is a classic Western mountain home redefined by renowned designer Helena Flecker, introducing a lighter, contemporary interior while honoring the home's original character. Venetian plaster walls, bleached white oak floors, refreshed original timbers, and custom furnishings sourced from Milan create a warm, refined atmosphere throughout. All-new energy-efficient windows with slim black frames bring in abundant natural light and frame forest and mountain views. The main level is anchored by a dramatic great room featuring an oversized open-flame river-rock fireplace, formal dining for ten, and a striking Officine Gullo Firenze kitchen with Gaggenau appliances. A monumental butcher-block island (approximately 10' x 25'), oversized wine room, half-log bar, and a fully equipped butler's pantry with custom cabinetry and a Miele espresso station support both entertaining and everyday living. Two powder rooms complete the level. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the home includes an acoustically engineered, soundproofed theater by Autograph Home Entertainment with flexible stadium seating and spillover guest capability. An adjacent den features a Giorgio Glass and leather foosball table and rattan walnut library shelving by Baxter. The residence is fully integrated with Sonos whole-house audio, Savant control, dual staircases, and an elevator servicing all three levels. Outdoor living is expansive and private. A wraparound covered porch offers two distinct dining experiences: a monumental stone table seating twelve or more with exterior-grade leather and wood chairs, and a more intimate round dining area with leather lounge seating for six to eight. Additional seating areas capture views in all directions, alongside a sheltered Barcelona ping-pong table. On the south end of the home, a large hot tub accommodating ten comfortably with a mechanical cover sits adjacent to an outdoor lounge and gas fire pit. A BBQ patio with an EGG cooking oven connects directly to the kitchen. On the north side, a stocked and aerated pond, suitable for pond hockey, is framed by a stone patio, yoga deck, and seating area, with a private nature trail and landscaped grounds by Escape Garden Designs, including a hidden garden shed integrated into the landscape. The bedroom layout is ideal for both family and guests. A main-level VIP suite features a walk-in closet and spa-style wet room. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a gas fireplace, private office, hidden standing safe, and breakfast bar, along with two custom walk-in closets featuring automatic lighting, leather-lined drawers, and tailored storage, handcrafted in Carimate, Como, Italy by Porro. The primary bath includes marble dual vanities, an infrared sauna, a soaking tub, and a double shower wet room. A covered terrace captures sunrise views of Sunshine Peak and the Continental Divide. Also on the upper level is an en-suite guest bedroom with custom wallpaper incorporating a subtle 14K gold leaf motif inspired by falling foliage. A signature bunk room with queen beds, dual walk-in closets, a fire pole, full bath, walk-out terrace, and adjacent laundry complete the level. A porte-cochere arrival, radiant in-floor heating, central air conditioning, a new standing-seam metal roof, a full fire-suppression system, and turn-key furnishings (excluding artwork and perso

At the base of Tiehack, tucked among towering aspens and the sound of Maroon Creek, lies one of Aspen's most remarkable opportunities. This rare dual-lot estate encompasses two adjoining parcels, combined permitting up to 24,000 square feet of living space. Together, they create the possibility of an extraordinary mountain compound - a rarity in Aspen. Step through the stone courtyard and into a residence where rustic mountain charm meets modern luxury. Newly and completely renovated, this 10,861-square-foot retreat offers 8 bedrooms, 7 full baths, and 2 half baths. Inside, stone and wood floors anchor the interiors to their alpine surroundings, while soaring windows frame commanding views of Aspen Highlands and the Thunderbowl ski run. The effect is both dramatic and grounding - the mountains feel like part of every room. The great room, accented with reclaimed timbers and a roaring fireplace, is designed to welcome both large gatherings and intimate conversations. Flowing seamlessly from this central space, multiple patios invite you outdoors to gather by the fire pit, listen to the serene waterfall, or simply take in the mountain horizon while Maroon Creek provides a natural soundtrack. The kitchen is its own private domain, thoughtfully crafted with dual workspaces. A scullery, prep kitchen, and butler's pantry allow the artistry of cooking to happen behind the scenes, while the main kitchen remains a hub for entertaining. Off the kitchen, a cozy den with fireplace offers the perfect retreat - a warm spot for the chef or family to unwind with a glass of wine and a book. The dining room, perfectly positioned between the kitchen and great room, invites family and friends to gather without ever feeling separate from the flow of conversation or the mountain views beyond. A lodge-like study adds another layer of retreat - with its fireplace, bar, and game tables, it's a room designed for late-night storytelling and laughter. Upstairs is the heart of family life. The primary suite is a sanctuary, complete with its own fireplace and wraparound deck. From here, mornings begin with coffee overlooking fresh snow on Thunderbowl and nights end to the soft rhythm of Maroon Creek below. The spa-inspired bath includes a soaking tub, walk-in shower, generous closet, and a fireplace for the ultimate sense of comfort. Four additional bedrooms, along with a central den, complete the upper level - offering privacy for family and guests within easy reach of the primary suite. The lower level extends the home's versatility with a secondary living room, perfect for movie nights or game-day viewing. Two additional ensuite bedrooms, a spacious mudroom with storage for every season, and a large laundry, storage area and two-car garage make this level as practical as it is welcoming. The backyard provides yet another venue for fun, games, and family memories. Directly beside the main residence lies 1400 Tiehack Road, an equally valuable component of this offering. With ability to design a new main residence (totaling up to 10,000 square feet), this parcel allows the creation of a custom retreat to complement 1470 Tiehack - whether as a guest home, wellness sanctuary, or legacy estate for future generations. Approved plans call for a beautifully landscaped guest house and pool - envision a one-bedroom suite with office, music room, ample storage, and additional garage bays. Here, lifestyle is defined by access and ease. The Tiehack lift is just steps from your door, inviting early-morning ski laps or evening skin-ups for fresh tracks at sunrise. Miles of hiking and biking trails unfurl in every direction, while downtown Aspen is a beautiful walk or short bike ride away via the Tiehack Bridge. Aspen Highlands, Snowmass Village, and the Aspen Airport are all within minutes. This is more than a home. It is a legacy compound.

Perched atop prestigious Red Mountain with sweeping views across Aspen and all four ski areas, Summit House stands as one of Colorado's most exceptional residential offerings. Set on a private six-acre enclave, this extraordinary estate pairs a premier setting with a scale and presence that are simply unattainable today. The 17,000-square-foot main residence is a rare expression of grandeur, privacy, and livability--made all the more significant by the fact that a home of this size could not be replicated under current land use codes. An additional building right of nearly 4,150 square feet, plus deck space, offers the opportunity to further expand and create a true legacy compound. In Aspen, where location, view, and scale define enduring value, Summit House represents an irreplaceable offering of a kind that today's regulations no longer allow.

Outside, enjoy beautifully landscaped terraces, generous decks, and multiple outdoor living areas that feel like an extension of the home. With its ideal location, ample space, and inviting ambiance, this home offers the perfect balance of comfort and sophistication.
