Meticulously updated Mid Century Modern masterpiece! Originally designed and crafted to embrace the views and natural landscape of Missouri Heights in 1966, this architectural gem was carefully updated and expanded in 2020, seamlessly blending contemporary comfort with the integrity of its classic design. Situated on over 18 acres of picturesque land, this retreat offers unparalleled privacy and breathtaking views. Integration of indoor and outdoor spaces is achieved through extensive use of glass doors, large windows and skylights, resulting in a home bathed in natural light. Every room features a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The traditional open-concept layout fosters a sense of casual elegance, with interior components such as LVT flooring, exposed beams, and natural finishes, all carefully selected to enhance the simplicity and warmth of the original design. Entertain in the stunning living room, or gather within the expansive kitchen and dining areas. The luxurious primary suite offers comfort and tranquility and is thoughtfully secluded from the auxiliary bedroom wing. (A second suite is located at the other end of the house.) The lower ''walkout'' level includes a family room, (or 5th bedroom) with a wet bar, bath, and wood-burning fireplace. Skillfully laid out to embrace its natural surroundings, this exceptional residence invites outdoor living with numerous decks and patios, and an ''endless spa'' for swimming or relaxing. If you have horses, chickens, goats, or other animals, they are welcome on this 18-acre parcel with no covenants and a great well. A south facing greenhouse tucked into the landscape is a bonus if there's a gardener in the family. In addition to the main home, a charming two-bedroom two two-bath ''guest'' house with a hot tub was built in 2019, situated a short walk from the main house for maximum privacy. Overlooking the heart of the Roaring Fork Valley, this property boasts views from Independence Pass to the Flattops, including Aspen and Snowmass ski areas and spectacular Mt. Sopris front and center. Mid-way between Basalt and Carbondale, just a few minutes to Willits and Whole Foods, the location has convenient access to all the recreational amenities the area has to offer. Skiing, biking, hiking, and fishing are nearby,
plus Aspen's Music Festival, JAS Aspen Snowmass, The annual Food and Wine Classic, Aspen Ideas Festival, numerous local events, great restaurants, and lively arts scenes are found up and down the valley. Owned and loved by just three families over nearly 60 years, this special property has been reimagined for the modern era and is ready for the next family to call it home.
