There’s a reason Starwood founder Edgar Stern chose 1020 Carroll Drive; it is simply the finest Aspen estate. Enjoy end of the road privacy and top of the world Elk Mountain views on six Starwood parcels totaling 115.7 acres. The 13,175 sq. ft. main house was designed by Thomas Kligerman of Ike Kligerman Barkley with an arts and crafts style on a Rocky Mountain scale. The vaulted great room ceilings are accented by artistically formed structural trusses creating light filled spaces with perfectly framed Mt. Daly, Capital Peak, and Snowmass Ski Area views through the Case Teak Windows and exterior doors. Book matched full length Claro Walnut paneling adorns the great room. Nine wood-burning fireplaces warm the main house including the impressive Colorado dry stack moss rock fireplace found in the living room. A sitting area next to the fireplace is a favorite après ski winter hangout. Built by Hansen Construction with the finest materials with the majority of millwork by Kol Industries including: wide plank European White Oak flooring from Germany, petrified wood bar and Douglass Fir and Pacific Yew in the family room, and California Bay Laurel and Myrtle in the dining room. The entry, chimney caps and sills are covered in Carmella Sandstone from Oklahoma. The generous main level master suite looks out over the upper pond. Four en suite-bedrooms, an office, library, and two powder rooms complete the upper level. The lower-level consists of laundry room, office, powder room, storage, kids’ playroom with wood burning fireplace, and an approximately 1,750 bottle wine room with additional 900-bottle case storage. An expansive Colorado buff sandstone front patio extends from the main house, taking advantage of all day sunshine and endless sunset views. A hidden snowmelt path leads to an oversized outdoor spa set amongst massive sandstone rocks.

A spectacular bluff with rocks weighing up to 96,000 pounds sourced from Crawford, Colorado and the eleven Bristlecone and Limber Pine “Ancients” overlook the main house. Nature trails weave through the numerous native Rocky Mountain plantings. There are two ponds on property, the 3-acre lower Saddle Pond and the Upper Pond; both are aerated and stocked with various Brown, Brook, Donaldson Rainbow, Colorado River and Snake River Cutthroat Trout. The Saddle Pond riparian areas are a favorite of migrating elk and wildlife. A guest house with four en suite studios and three wood-burning fireplaces is adjacent to the main house. Two 3-bedroom caretaker’s homes plus a 3-bedroom apartment, offices, garages and maintenance facilities are situated below the main house. There is a beautiful lakeside site, ideal for a pool and a yoga studio gym or additional guest housing to create a family compound. Access Shadyside and Sunnyside trails directly from the property. Starwood is Aspen’s only gated community with 960 total acres, x-country ski trails, tennis courts and on-site fire station. Red Mountain ditch provides excellent water rights. This is a one-of-a-kind private Rocky Mountain legacy estate with every amenity, direct USFS access, and forever views.

Three Pitkin County TDRs are included in the sale and will not be sold separately from the Property Sale.

Be the first to occupy this newly constructed one-of-a-kind Calabasas hillside retreat, a striking contemporary-style residence whose French Modern exterior shines in the ultra-exclusive, double-gated celebrity enclave of The Estates at The Oaks. Indulge in all the five-star amenities you could ask for—a modern wine room, wellness spa, basketball court, putting green, 10-car garage, an elegant theater, and an infinity-edge pool backdropped by alluring vistas. The tri-level dwelling, along with the landscaping, hardscaping and interiors, were conceived by Palumbo Design whose impeccable craftsmanship boasts opulent finishes and materials of the highest quality, including a slate roof, and lime-based plaster stucco. Michael Palumbo meticulously designed the interior with premium bespoke furnishings imported from Italy, lustrous marble hand-selected from Italy, wood floors by Virtu of New York and top-tier Italian cabinets throughout.

Spanning approximately 22,000 square feet of grandeur and emphasizing an outdoor connection, the sprawling sun-splashed residence includes eight en suite bedrooms with walk-in closets, a maid’s quarters with separate entrance, and a chic casita. Enter through a lofty foyer brightened by skylights and clerestory windows, flanked by two distinct wings—each graced with an open floor plan and seamless access to the breathtaking exterior grounds. To your right, a formal dining room, handsome bar and lounge open to the formal living room where bold, colorful paintings pop against tastefully minimalist walls and built-in shelves provide a decorative, yet practical design layer, while a soothing LED bubble wall steals the spotlight. To your left, a sophisticated family room is framed by a sleek ultramodern kitchen, wine room and an adjacent breakfast nook enclosed in walls of glass. The main floor is completed by a spacious study, fully equipped catering kitchen carefully tucked away from the living area, an elevator and two staircases.

Ascend to the upper level where you’re met by six ensuite bedrooms and a lavishly appointed primary suite clad in gorgeous paneling and thoughtful built-in shelving with inlet lighting. The posh suite features a coffee bar with seating area, dual closets and dual bathrooms, both of which open to a private terrace overlooking picturesque landscapes. Your recreational paradise awaits on the lower level. The stunning 14-seat luxury theater provides a state-of-the-art sound and visual experience, complemented by the comforts of fully automated Bugatti chairs with cooled cupholders, and a popcorn and refreshment bar. Highlighted by a marble waterfall countertop, floating shelves, and inlet lighting, the tequila bar sets the stage for elevated celebrations amongst family and friends. Rounding out the impressive entertaining options are a dapper billiard lounge with a custom-made, Italian manufactured Teckell all-glass pool table and two high-top table areas.

Pampering is a priority in the tranquil spa boasting a fully electric massage table with wet steam shower and dry Nordic Sauna, as well as a calming fireplace. The neighboring gym is outfitted with best-in-class equipment, a protein shake bar and a wallpaper-thin LG TV mounted on the mirror. Additional home features include fully integrated Crestron automation and Lutron lighting systems.

The main level opens to a delightful outdoor seating area with a warming fire pit and a PGA championship-inspired putting green with sand trap, adjacent to a fully appointed casita. Traverse the verdant courtyard anchored by a slate wall fountain set against the landscaped hillside, and take a dip in the infinity-edge Baja shelf swimming pool. The poolside cabana with outdoor kitchen, full separate Island bar, firepit, and full bath promise endless alfresco adventures amid unencumbered views of the Santa Monica mountains. Wind down beneath a canopy of stars in the sunken fire pit lounge with built-in sound system and an 85” outdoor Séura weatherproof TV. A basketball half-court completes the splendid backyard oasis. Secure your spot in the last of the sought-after view lots in The Estates, and treat yourself to the elegant life you deserve.
