A heated and finished two-car garage provides convenience and comfort, plus a brand new DaVinci roof and 7 seat hot tub installed in June 2025.

At the heart of the ranch's equestrian infrastructure is a 3,080 square foot, eight-stall barn built in 2007, accompanied by a beautiful riding arena and fenced pastures. The property is also home to an expansive flat lawn leading to a grand, aerated pond with a sand beach perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking or just relaxing by the water. A charming gazebo at the top of the property offers 360 degree views from Snowmass Mountain to the Old Snowmass Monastery and beyond, creating an unmatched setting for sunset views. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the estate includes multiple outdoor living and dining spaces, adjudicated water rights, a private well, and an intricate irrigation system that nourishes lush landscaping and produces fresh hay each summer.
