Homestead 3 at Double Bar X Ranch presents an exceptionally rare Aspen offering: a legacy-scale homesite with remarkable building rights, expansive acreage, and a level of privacy and lifestyle infrastructure seldom found this close to town. Set on approximately 9 acres within the storied Double Bar X Ranch enclave, this is a rare opportunity to create a true mountain compound less than two miles from Aspen, within walking distance of Maroon Creek Golf Course, and moments from all four ski mountains. With private fly fishing, irrigated pastures, horse property potential, and private walking and hiking trails, the setting captures the essence of Aspen ranch living without sacrificing proximity, prestige, or convenience. The planned residential program for Homestead 3 is conceived at an estate scale by Olson Kundig, with a 15,630-square-foot main house, a 2,800-square-foot greenhouse, and a 2,400-square-foot barn--a compound designed to balance architectural significance with effortless indoor-outdoor living. The main residence includes 7 bedrooms, including a primary suite, ADU suite, guest suites, and bunk accommodations, along with an amenity package more often associated with a private resort: wine room and lounge, theater, game room, golf simulator, fitness studio, massage and spa, library, multiple entertaining spaces, catering kitchen, elevator, and a three-car garage. Outdoor features include ponds, a private drive, autocourt, fire pit, recreational water feature, and trails, creating a fully immersive Aspen estate experience. In a market where large acreage near Aspen is extraordinarily scarce, it is even rarer to find a property with such generous and flexible development rights. The result is a legacy offering that combines scale, entitlement strength, ranch utility, and luxury lifestyle in a way that is virtually impossible to replicate today.
