It starts with the light. No other home in Aspen is lit so elegantly, though it’s not fixtures that make the magic here. This experience is all natural, with unhindered northern light filtering through the impossibly tall windows. But the light is just the beginning. At Wood Duck Lane, a series of inspired design decisions reveal themselves, room by room, space by space. This is a deliberate design choice: a progression that is elegant and logical. The result is a home that’s as impressive as it is immersive – comfortable for a family large or small, ready for world-class entertaining, and still perfect for intimate nights by the fire. Each room flows gracefully into the next, with areas of activity smartly removed from spaces intended for study, work and quiet contemplation. 

Just through the front door of Wood Duck Lane, owner and visitors are greeted by the heart and soul of the residence: a great room fully deserving of the name. The walls are clad in imported stone and a large hearth provides a linear point of interest on the eastern wall. But it’s the windows that create awe, rising twenty-eight feet high, with unobstructed views of the adjacent Hallam Lake Nature Preserve and Smuggler Mountain beyond. Outside, expansive deck space provides an intimate outdoor experience as well as a unique space for entertaining. A custom hot tub and fire pit invite a longer stay in any season, while glass railings provide unimpeded views from anywhere in the home. (Yes, your home on Wood Duck Lane will provide an occasional glimpses of actual wood ducks.)  

It is conveniently located near the Music Tent and minutes from the downtown core yet overlooking 40 acres of the most pristine and protected land in all of Aspen. This is a home for those whose Aspen idea involves both nature and neighborhood and for those yearning for that special home created without compromise.
