Inside The Ranch at Owl Creek, an $80 Million Contemporary Mountain Retreat in Aspen
After a series of interior and exterior upgrades over the last year, The Ranch at Owl Creek in Aspen, Colorado, is back on the market with a Rocky Mountain high price tag of $80 million, $10 million more than it was initially priced last year. Exterior improvements include a new pool, driveway, and exterior lighting, while interior improvements include new HVAC and electrical systems and a SAVANT smart home system. The property is listed with Doug Leibinger of Compass
The 60-plus-acre legacy property, about 12 minutes from downtown Aspen and just five minutes from the lifts at Snowmass and Buttermilk, is bordered by 850 acres of preserved open space and offers majestic scenery, total privacy, and relaxed, sophisticated luxury.

Hidden at the top of a snaking drive in a dense stand of Aspens and other towering trees, the sprawling contemporary home blends top-flight materials and finishes and expert craftsmanship with a sleek design that showcases an eclectic collection of artwork and comfortable designer furnishings. Hardwood planks, stone tile floors, and smooth wood paneling add natural materials to the clean-lined living spaces, while extra-tall doorways add a subtle sense of grandeur.
Capable of hosting a large group of family and friends, among the 12,500-square-foot home’s eight ample bedrooms and eight bathrooms, plus three more powder rooms, is a spacious principal suite warmed by a fireplace and a self-contained two-bedroom guest or staff apartment.
In addition to an immense living room roomy enough to accommodate multiple seating areas under a uniquely wood-paneled vaulted ceiling, the home offers a more intimately scaled library/family room, a cocktail lounge, a spacious dining room, an art gallery, and a plush, state-of-the-art movie theater with a bar/snack area that leads to a wine cellar. Elsewhere, the kitchen adjoins a cozy TV lounge and a casual dining space.
Aspen is all about the outdoors at every time of year, and The Ranch at Owl Creek offers plenty of options for both leisurely relaxation and active pursuits. A stone fireplace and ceiling-mounted electric heaters warm a covered patio, and Aspens shade a heated swimming pool surrounded by extensive terracing and a fire pit. There are two hot tubs, and a glass-walled poolside pavilion houses a gym with a kitchenette.
Beyond the lush lawns and trees that envelop the home, the landscape opens to rolling fields with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. And, for anglers, a series of steps and bridges alongside a pebble-lined stream and a series of waterfalls leads to a stocked trout pond.
