Nestled on lower Star Mesa Road just 10 minutes from Aspen, this one-of-a-kind private property offers breathtaking views of the upper Roaring Fork Valley and is surrounded by open space. Set on 17.6 acres, it features a charming, historic log home and barn—ready to be transformed into a spectacular estate.
