There are homes that reflect Aspen. And then there are homes that rise to meet it.
Now finished, furnished, and ready for immediate occupancy, 401 Carroll Drive represents a rare convergence of architecture, landscape, and lifestyle within the gates of Starwood, Aspen’s most established private community. After more than five years of thoughtful design and meticulous construction, this contemporary estate stands fully realized, just in time for a new owner to enjoy the remainder of the ski season and beyond.
Recently featured in The Resident, Robb Report, Haute Residence, and Yahoo! Life, the property has drawn national attention. Yet its true impact is best experienced in person, through scale, setting, and the quiet confidence of its execution.
Six Acres Above Aspen
Set on approximately six private acres, 401 Carroll Drive offers a sense of openness rarely found so close to downtown Aspen. Rolling terrain, mature trees, and sweeping Elk Mountain views create a setting that feels both expansive and deeply private.
Within Starwood’s gated entrance, residents value discretion, security, and space, while remaining just minutes from Aspen Mountain, the downtown core, private aviation at Aspen Pitkin County Airport, and the cultural calendar that defines the Roaring Fork Valley.
Here, arrival feels intentional, unhurried, and elevated.
Modern Mountain Architecture, Fully Realized
Encompassing nearly 15,000 square feet, the estate was designed to embrace its surroundings. Expansive walls of glass frame Mount Sopris and the surrounding Elk Mountain peaks, while a seamless indoor-outdoor flow allows every season to be experienced fully, from snow-covered mornings to long summer evenings under alpine skies.
The home was:
- Designed by Ken Adler of KA DesignWorks
- Built by Janckila Construction, Inc.
- Developed by Whitecap Designs
- Interiors by Chris Powell of Studio 133
Italian imported furnishings, curated by Malibu Design, complement the home’s clean architectural lines, while artwork staged by Tania Dibbs of Big Sky Studio introduces warmth and regional texture. The result is a refined interpretation of modern mountain living, sophisticated without excess and striking without distraction.
Every detail feels considered, and every space purposeful.
A Private Resort Experience at Home
401 Carroll Drive was designed not only as a residence, but as a retreat.
Amenities include:
- 7 ensuite bedrooms
- A dedicated office
- A full wellness center with spa features
- Gym and private theater
- Wine room
- Pool with integrated hot tub
- Cabana lounge
- 7 gas fireplaces
- 3-car garage
- Extensive snowmelt systems for effortless year-round access
Mornings can begin in the wellness suite before first tracks at one of the four Aspen Snowmass ski areas or many local hiking and biking trails in the warmer months. Evenings unfold beside the fire or in the cabana lounge, with the Elk Mountains silhouetted against the fading light.
The estate balances grand entertaining with intimate comfort, equally suited to hosting holiday gatherings or enjoying quiet family weekends in the mountains.
Designed for Enduring Comfort
Beyond aesthetics, the home was built with long-term livability in mind. A 20 kW solar array and 80 kW battery system support energy efficiency and reliability, while robust infrastructure ensures seamless performance through every season.
From winter snowfall to summer storms, the property is designed to function beautifully and effortlessly.
An Aspen Legacy Property
Aspen has long drawn those who value privacy, natural beauty, and cultural depth within a remarkably intimate valley setting. Properties that combine acreage, scale, and architectural integrity at this level are increasingly rare.
401 Carroll Drive is more than newly constructed. It is fully complete, fully furnished, and ready to be lived in now.
For those seeking a modern estate that honors Aspen’s landscape while delivering uncompromising comfort, this is an opportunity to step into a finished vision, one designed for gathering, retreating, celebrating, and returning to season after season.
