370 Gerbaz Way, Woody Creek, CO 81656

$23,500,000

Welcome to the Woody Creek River Estate. Situated as close as a handshake to this expansive and welcoming home, the pristine Roaring Fork River is a constant companion. In an exceptional natural habitat, the home is poised on the bank, just 20 ft from the river (a location current zoning… Read More regulations wouldn't allow), yet safely outside the 100-year floodplain. For those who know, this is old Aspen. Elegant, unfettered, exquisitely natural. No need for fussy, manicured grounds, when the masterful hand of Mother Nature is guiding the process on 11 acres of land with nearly 900 ft of river frontage. The home was built to exacting standards, under the confident charge of noted local architect, Tim Hagman, who understood the land, its intrinsic magic, and his clients' desires. Taking inspiration from the Nat'l Park Service's Grand Lodges of the 1920s, Hagman balanced heft and majesty with warmth and open space, assuring that sight lines of the river were unimpeded and that daylight would flood virtually every room. The window design, the custom sconces and chandeliers, the beams and trusses are all magnificent. To achieve the rustic, timeless quality, materials were sourced from a river bottom in the Great Lakes region, a flour mill in Oregon, and a 1904 Sears & Roebuck building in Chicago. This amazing residence accommodates a multi-generational family in grand style. The dining room seats 16 and the house can welcome as many as 100 for a cocktail reception. Yet for all its scale and grandeur, this is a home - an inviting, warm, intimate haven that will become a hub of family life. Exquisitely planned living spaces, including a hickory-paneled library with beveled glass pocket doors, and multiple seating areas, many intimate, create a window into the fragile world of river flora and fauna, and a place where memories will be made and treasured. A massive 2-story stone Rumford fireplace, flanked by high arched windows, is the centerpiece of the living room. Wormy chestnut wood floors throughout the public spaces add a timeless warmth. The enormous kitchen is a master chef's design and connects seamlessly to the living and dining rooms. The handsome primary suite on the upper level is so stunning, one can imagine spending the entire day here; adjacent are an office and fitness room, and all in their own separate wing. Connected by a ''bridge'' overlooking the great room is a separate wing for children with a fanciful bunkroom which will entertain 9 kids and a den with billiards table and awesome upriver views. There are two generous ensuite guest bedrooms on the main floor, along with a large laundry room and wrapping area, powder room and storage. There are 4 fireplaces, RO water & radon systems, elevator. A 1600-bottle wine cellar completes the interior package. Outside, a stone terrace overlooking the river runs the length of the house, and a built-in gas BBQ and hot tub insure easy outdoor living. A deep water habitat for fish, front and center, means exciting, incredible fishing. Adjacent to the home, to the west, is a separately deeded vacant lot which provides an enormous privacy buffer from the nearby world. The site can be left as is or developed with a guest house, caretaker's quarters, or artist's studio. Adjacent to the property is the Rio Grande hiking/ biking trail. There is no sight or sound of the highway, yet you're just 15 minutes from either Aspen or Basalt, and even less to the airport. Read Less
