About this property

Come relax in our mountain residence on high mesa grasslands in the heart of the Rockies. This stunning luxury home sits on 35 acres with expansive views of the Elk Mountain range. The natural materials used to build this home speak to the clean living that abounds here in the Roaring Fork Valley. With red oak flooring, trusses and beams crafted from the wood of a Midwest barn, the open-plan is designed to maximize the warmth of the south-facing windows: part solar, part geothermal-heated, a home built for the future. With two master suites, each complete with walk-in closets and private decks looking out on ranchland pastures framed by Mount Sopris, the property boasts 5 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, two living rooms, a workout space for stretching, double steam shower, and seven fireplaces, including three imported English Rumford stone hearths - perfect for year-round relaxation. Fifteen minutes to Whole Foods, 45 minutes to the slopes, with gorgeous spaces to enjoy right on the property. Every detail of the home is tuned to the play of light on the 8,278 square feet of architecture, a celebration of timber, iron, stone, clay, and open space. At the heart of the property is an infinity party pool with waterfall, adding warm waters to the ever-present elements of earth and sky. Please, however, no weddings, elopements, or any kinds of events at our home. These are prohibited.

Mountain Vistas, Rural Serenity

The house is large enough to accommodate two families, with two primary suites, a large kitchen, a generously sized dining table, and two living rooms. The pool is comfortably warm and clean. There is a well-appointed gym in the basement. The property is large and scenic. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.

Beautiful Home and Setting

Prettiest view of anywhere I have stayed. Lovely home. Everything as advertised. House was very clean except the bathroom rugs needed washing and the coffee pot hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. Other than that it was great. Would highly recommend.

Summer Vacation

Outstanding property with a beautiful view of Mt Sopris. The location is away from town, a very tranquil setting; yet close to several amazing towns. We hiked in Aspen, biked from Carbonale and paraglided and rafted in Glenwood Springs. The swimming pool on the property was fun to relax in. Coffee on the deck with the hummingbirds was an incredible way to start the day.

Relaxation at it best

Amazing! Stayed here with my husband, dog 3 other adults and a 8 yr old. The house was laid out perfectly to give all of our guest space and had everything we needed so we didn’t leave much. We enjoyed most of our time on the patio enjoying the pool and taking in the view. You can even get in a short easy hike on the property right from the patio. The kitchen was great and well stocked so we enjoyed cooking in for most meals. No one in our group wanted to leave we had such a great time here, we would definitely come back.

About the host

Hosted by Liesl Clark

I am both a host and a frequent traveler, a filmmaker making documentary films for NOVA and National Geographic. Our Carbondale home is a testament to our decades of Himalayan work in film, mountaineering, exploration, and archaeology. My husband, Pete Athans, is a 7-time Everest climber and Himalayan explorer. We both have strong ties to the Roaring Fork Valley and Colorado, having lived here off-and-on for the past 35 years. We are grateful for the wonderful relationships we've established through this sharing platform which is similar in spirit to the gift economy model I co-founded called the Buy Nothing Project. We're big believers in the importance of human connection through creatively sharing.
