With the amount of snow in the alps slowly declining, it’s easy to see why there has been an increase in Aspen’s popularity. From culinary delights to shopping and the Highland Bowl, considered among the state’s most extreme runs, Aspen offers just about everything the winter traveler could ask for. For those seeking the best of Aspen, a luxurious Aspen Highlands estate situated on over 2 acres awaits its next discerning owner. Located on Falcon Road in the prestigious Five Trees community is a five bedroom six and a half bath home that exemplifies the phrase ‘Winter Retreat’. With custom made furnishings, high ceilings, and warm woodwork the house is grand yet cozy.
“This property is unique on a number of levels. It provides end-of-the-road privacy, world-class skiing right out the front door and is move-in ready. The furnishings are top of the line and in perfect harmony with the home’s proportions. Purchasing a home of this stature, fully furnished, is a rare opportunity,” stated Colter Smith of Christie’s International Real Estate Aspen.
Entering through the porte cochere the home is instantly characterized by it’s open floor-plan. The sunken living room and raised dining area benefit from ample windows, which flood the living area with picturesque views of the mountains, and open to a heated slate patio.

Downstairs a suite of entertaining spaces await, including a home cinema, game room, wine cellar, gym, and outdoor spa. A three car garage completes the home.
