A rare opportunity to create a private riverfront estate on 9.55 acres along Snowmass Creek. This affordable, substantial river-frontage property offers an exceptional sense of serenity just minutes from Aspen and Snowmass Village. The property includes two existing living spaces: a charming historic cabin that is over 100 years old and a separate studio with a private balcony immediately above the creek, offering a unique connection to the surrounding landscape. A similarly historic barn further enhances the property's character and heritage.
Entitlements allow for the construction of a new residence of up to 5,750 square feet by right, with the potential for additional square footage through Pitkin County's TDR or GMQS programs. The property benefits from a 6,591-square-foot grandfathered agricultural barn, exempt from current floor-area calculations and providing exceptional utility for agricultural operations and estate stewardship.
