Discover the Colorado dream at this remarkable stretch of land in Woody Creek, with a vast expanse of river frontage in a truly extraordinary setting. The landscape is a stunning arrangement of manicured lawns, lush gardens with flowers and vegetables, and a large pond - all bordered by the Roaring Fork River constantly flowing through. The 8.78 acre property spans the river width, with two separate entrances to fish and relax on the shore. The main residence currently includes three bedroom suites and lives mostly on a single level, with walk out access to the grounds at every turn. Curated to feel like a luxury mountain lodge, the home features great open spaces with sturdy timbers, stone and river rock. In the summer, connect the indoors with the surrounding beauty through doors that open on each side of the home. A sensation for outdoor entertaining, there is a large dining terrace, a hot tub mere feet from the water's edge, and a covered grill and kitchen area which connects to a wraparound deck overlooking the river. Approach the rustic yet comfortable guest cabin through a covered walkway to find a one bedroom apartment with a separate kitchen, living room and laundry. A mountain retreat which could not be recreated so close to the water by today's building codes, this riverfront property is a rare and valuable offering. The location on Lower River Road is an excellent gateway to fishing, biking and hiking, as well as proximity to both Aspen and Basalt.

A true gem! There are properties that claim to be ''river front'' and then there is the Cottonwood Cabin perched right over the gold medal Roaring Fork River. Timeless, elegant, breathtaking. The wonderful mountain home offers three bedroom suites in the main house and a detached one bedroom apartment known as the Cowboy Cabin. This magical setting is truly irreplaceable. New building codes would never allow this home to re built this close to the river ever again. The Great Room is a wonderful gathering place for family and friends with multiple decks to flow out to the edge of the river. On over 8 acres, the property offers private fishing on both sides of the river on one of the best trout streams in the entire United States. Convenient to Aspen, the Roaring Fork Club and Basalt, this is a magical river front home. Bring your fly rod, your cutting shears to clip beautiful flowers in the cutting garden, and your croquet set to play a match on the perfectly manicured grounds.
