Black Birch Estate The most Elegant River Estate in Aspen This elegant Aspen home at the Black Birch Retreat located on the serenity on the Roaring Fork River. This custom family home was designed to capture the elements of light, sound of water, privacy and the energy created by Castle Creek. It is available for long-term or short-term rental. There are over 3,460 square feet of living space, a two-car garage and a sanctuary of landscaped lawn, decks, flowers, and outdoor space to live outdoors and absorb the reason Aspen is so special. From every space, one captures nature and views from this unique property. Although a three-bedroom home, it sleeps like a five bedroom. There are three plush suites, with two primary bedrooms with King Beds that enjoy steam showers and soaking tubs that sit right over the flowing river, for an unparalleled spa-like ambiance. The oversized guest space sleeps up to 10 people with two queens with trundles, and two extra- long twin trundle beds, creating a cozy getaway for family and friends. And don't forget the sleeping porch with a fireplace and TV has a queen sleeper. The home is private and has access to the bike trails and walking trails are out your door. Fish out your back door, or bike or walk into Aspen. You can even bike over the Aspen Institute for special lectures or dining. Although only a few minutes' drive into Aspen, you can take the shuttle if you want to be dropped off in downtown Aspen or picked up to come home. An open and elegant great room and dining area has floor to ceiling glass, all which can be opened to bring in the sounds of the river and is an absolute dream for gatherings as the outdoor area is covered as well. The home is also outfitted with a chef's kitchen, coffee bar and a comfortable family room off the kitchen. The most exception space, and perhaps the highlight of the main level, is a completely custom and heated ''solarium lounge'' with walls that open on three sides and a gas fireplace, television, and convertible sofa bed for the ultimate glamping experience. Designed and built via the talent of top local firms Poss Architecture and Schlumberger Construction, with sophisticated interiors curated by Noelle Hernandez, no detail was overlooked in the creation of this special property. The Retreat enjoys a truly magical setting year-round, with indoor/outdoor components that can be enjoyed throughout every season. Gorgeous landscaping is an extension of the perfect natural setting, and there is ample lounge seating, dining, and room to relax and play along the water's edge. A world away from urban life, yet only minutes from all the dining, shopping, and entertainment in the Aspen core. A quick bike or shuttle ride to schools, skiing, recreation and all the fun of downtown. A rare offering for the most discerning guests looking to find tranquility and balance in the Aspen lifestyle. Wonderful two car garage and additional parking spaces. $125K a month Must pay for housekeeping, departure clean, resort fee, will consider dogs.
