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.

One Aspen takes its name from the historic Lift One, installed on Aspen Mountain in 1946. Once the longest ski lift on the planet, Lift One transformed Aspen into an iconic ski resort that grew into one of the most coveted in the world. In 1971, the old Lift One was replaced by the improved Lift 1A, and the lift that launched the Aspen legend earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.

Today, One Aspen welcomes fourteen families to share in the one opportunity to own a piece of Aspen’s rich history within a contemporary on-mountain retreat.

The fourteen residences of One Aspen mimic the lines of their mountain backdrop. These mountain retreats step up the slope sides, allowing each home to have its own distinctive identity. Four understated buildings create a curated collection of connected homes, surrounded by canopied trees and lush greenery. Flow-through floorplans range from 4,385 – 5,920 square feet, showcasing the modern lines and minimalist design of contemporary mountain living.

The design emphasizes indoor/outdoor living, fulfilling dreams of mountain dwelling. Ride the elevator up to the main living quarters, where inspiring views of Aspen Mountain’s beautiful landscape loom large. Escape to a private terrace and soak in the silence of the setting amid the fresh alpine air. The ultimate expression of modern living beckons atop your exclusive rooftop living space—a serene sanctuary above it all, surrounded by unobstructed mountain and sunset panoramas.

Modern, sophisticated and understated, the fourteen residences of One Aspen are architectural gems that set the tone for the new Aspen aesthetic. Lofty ceilings and giant picture windows bring the outdoors in, framing snowy mountain vistas and flooding living spaces with natural light. Sleek lines, extensive metal detailing and creative lighting enhance artistic spaces. Natural Colorado stone, rich millwork and deep wood tones echo the surroundings. Forms reach up and out, complementing rather than competing with the alpine setting. Generously sized gourmet kitchens and lavish spa-like baths feature luxury brands and innovative touches. Every element from fixtures to finishes elevates Aspen décor for modern tastes.
