set on over 11 pristine acres along the banks of the roaring fork river, this exceptional property in woody creek offers unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and more than 1,000 feet of coveted river frontage. mature trees, open meadows, and direct access to the water create a rare sense of seclusion. the existing home, designed by acclaimed architect jack walls, reflects the aspen modern ethos of the 1940s, with clean lines, expansive glass, and open living spaces that blur the line between indoors and out. a contemporary of the celebrated group of modernist architects who helped shape aspen’s post-war identity, walls′ work remains a testament to timeless, site-sensitive design. while the home offers architectural significance and enduring style, the true value lies in the land and the unique opportunity it presents: to either restore the residence to its original modernist glory or reimagine the site entirely as a new legacy estate. whether preserved or transformed, this riverfront property is a once-in-a-generation offering in one of the valley’s most private and peaceful settings.
