Discover Maroon Creek Lot 16—an exclusive 2.3-acre ski-in ski-out property at Tiehack, boasting the closest driveway to the Tiehack Express Lift. This south-facing site enjoys abundant sunshine and panoramic views of Aspen Mountain, Red Mountain, and Highlands Ski Area. The property is vested for a 14,000 sq. ft. residence without TDRs, exempt from affordable housing fees, and unaffected by new Pitkin County regulations as it lies within Aspen's jurisdiction. Renowned architect Tom Kundig is directly involved in the current project that can be scaled up in size or modified by the team at Olsen Kundig pending a contract with a buyer. The residence will blend seamlessly into its private setting, featuring a green roof with native grasses and minimal street visibility. Designed to overlook Maroon Creek, the home integrates the river's sights and sounds, with a unique breakfast nook offering a treehouse-like experience over the water. Inside, the living areas showcase breathtaking mountain and river views, complemented by a south-facing kitchen leading to a spacious stone patio with a hot tub and fire pit. Additional highlights include ground-level access to bedrooms and an office, potential for expansion, and a pickleball court integrated into the courtyard. The property provides direct access to Maroon Creek Golf Course, Maroon Creek itself, and protected open space, ensuring privacy and no future development. Tiehack offers uncrowded skiing and easy access to hiking, biking, and recreational amenities such as the Aspen Rec Center, just a short walk away. City-provided sewer and water services and proximity to Aspen Sardy Field Airport further enhance convenience and lifestyle. Maroon Creek Lot 16 presents a rare opportunity to own a bespoke mountain retreat, combining unrivaled location, architectural excellence, and seamless integration with Aspen's natural beauty and recreational offerings.
