Like living in a van Gogh painting on top of the world here...This extremely rare, stylish, and private gem sits perched within the only 24 hour guard-gated community in 81611. Located less than 10 minutes to Aspen core, 15 minutes to skiing in Snowmass Village, and only 5 Minutes to the perennial W...oody Creek Tavern. This warm, sunny home was designed by the Godfather of mid-century modern architecture Alan Golin Gass (who studied under famed architect I.M. Pei) and sits on over 3.5 pristine acres backing up to conserved open space. Panoramic mountain vistas peer through every window and the structure is cleverly situated for no airport/runway visibility from this perfect location. The home itself has been immaculately maintained and the bridge/wing addition was constructed in 1999 with radiant floors throughout. Starwood boasts their own private fire department and EMS services, a private community water supply, security, professional snow plowing on all community roads, and miles of private hiking trails/open space all for only $400 HOA dues annually. No 1% City of Aspen real estate transfer tax at this address (Starwood lies in unincorporated Pitkin County just outside the City limits). This exact property was only the 2nd in Starwood to be developed and has only changed hands once since it was constructed. Lot 47 was cherry picked by original owner and renowned chemist R. Stephen Berry for its views, privacy, size, and location adjacent to protected open space. 623 Johnson is almost directly across the street from the famous John Denver home and recording studio. Dr. Berry and John were good friends for many years. From the living room with a telescope you can watch skiers descend all four resorts and can even spot the top of the Highland Bowl. This particular estate is a crown jewel of any real estate portfolio and a true intellectual paradise. 623 Johnson is one of only 108 total building sites within the exclusive community. This getaway sets the standard for peace and quiet in Aspen. Some neighboring estates within the gates at Starwood trade for nearly $50 million today. My photographs from this site don't do it justice- it's impossible to capture the true beauty of being here (I tried). The panoramas and serenity from this home at the end of a quiet street need to be seen personally to understand. Refined yet unpretentious; this unique home imbues everything that is Aspen. Also available for monthly lease at $45,000 USD. More community information can be found at starwood.org
