Paradise Found at 1500 Ute in Aspen, Colorado

Located at the end of Ute Ave. at the bend in the Roaring Fork River, this spectacular 2.45-acre piece of land is just outside Aspen city limits. This legacy property has been passed down from generation to generation in one family since the 1950’s. Long before Aspen became the boom town it is today, 1924 Olympic Gold Medalist Bill Stevenson and his wife “Bumpy” purchased the property from legendary Aspen architect Fritz Benedict. Savor the vistas of New York and Sunshine Peak up Independence Pass overlooking Stillwater open space meadow. Enjoy the twilight magic of riverfront serenity and wondering wildlife from the elevated stone terraced fire pit. Over the decades descendants have enjoyed the property, including the historic barn which currently serves as an artist’s studio, the charming cabin, and the beloved main farmhouse. A skier’s and snowboarder’s dream property, just .6 of a mile walk along Ute Ave. to Silver Queen Gondola at Little Nell. This is a recreational paradise with your own swimming hole, private access to the famous fly-fishing waters of the Roaring Fork, and the future Aspen Club & Spa and Ute Trail just around the corner. There is no property as glorious so close to downtown Aspen with its soaring Independence Pass views, solitude adjacent to a protected meadow, and river frontage along a winding stretch of the Roaring Fork River.
