Presenting The Powder House. Watch the Silver Queen spin from this rare ski-in Aspen Mountain retreat, on the market for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century. Tucked at the base of Aspen Mountain, The Powder House is one of the most extraordinary private estates in Aspen, with a 7-bedroom main house, a 2-bedroom guest house, and sweeping gondola views. Thoughtfully reimagined, this is a legacy property for every generation. Close to everything, hidden from everyone. Live water cascades from the mountain into an alpine pond, setting the stage for an Arcadian Garden that invites contemplation, entertainment, and of course, mountain recreation. Soaring skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the line between interior and landscape, transforming the surrounding forest into living artwork. Rich natural wood flows throughout, creating a seamless dialogue between structure and wilderness. The main level was made for gathering. The kitchen, dining, and living areas open to a spectacular outdoor patio oasis where the pond, stream and hot tub sit tucked among the trees in total privacy. A family room and two powder rooms complete the level. The upper-level houses five ensuite bedrooms, anchored by a magnificent primary suite with his-and-her bathrooms, two custom closets, laundry, an expansive outdoor living area, and a loft office with Juliette balcony. A dramatic staircase rises to the fifth bedroom, an architectural moment as functional as it is unforgettable. The lower level offers a generous rec room and bar, two ensuite bedrooms (one currently staged as a gym), and a powder room. The guest house ADU is fully self-contained with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a private garage, ideal for guests, staff, or rental income. 3-car garage split between the main and guest house, with thoughtful outdoor storage throughout. Ski in directly on Aspen Mountain. Walk or bike to town. Ski out with a short stroll past The Alps. nine bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, multiple patios and balconies extending into the natural landscape. Powder House delivers the complete Aspen lifestyle without compromise. For those who want to be close but hidden, accessible but with extraordinary privacy.

Downtown Aspen, located between Aspen Mountain and the Roaring Fork River, is a walkable and resort-town Aspen neighborhood with Victorian-era storefronts and a plaza-centered street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Cooper Avenue Mall and Mill Street, where galleries, espresso bars, ski outfitters, and late-night dining keep the sidewalks in motion. Wheeler Opera House, the Aspen Art Museum, and Belly Up Aspen act as cultural anchors with year-round calendars. Brick sidewalks and restored façades frame boutique hotels and contemporary infill. Paepcke Park and Wagner Park add green breathing room beside the retail core. Winter brings boot-packed streets; summer shifts to patios, bikes, and festival crowds.
