The former residence of late musician John Denver has been listed for sale
One lucky (and wealthy) buyer could be the next owner of the stunning Rocky Mountain paradise once owned by John Denver. The 5-acre estate is located just fifteen miles from downtown Aspen, Colorado, and offers an unobstructed view of the Aspen Valley floor and the surrounding mountain ranges.
John Denver used the retreat as his music studio and guest house up until his death in 1997. The 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom house totals 2,912 square feet and has the potential to be built on to for additional space.
The current asking price for the estate is $8,495,000.
Additional features of John Denver’s one-of-a-kind property
According to the listing, which is held by PJ Bory of Christie’s International Real Estate, the kitchen and bathrooms in the house have been recently renovated, but the house still maintains the original influence of John Denver.
The interior features lots of natural wood and exposed beams to reflect the rustic Colorado scenery.
Built into the hill in front of the home is a beautifully finished outdoor space with a gazebo, dining area, and fire pit.
Additionally, the home had a large covered patio complete with a jacuzzi to take in the panoramic views.
John Denver was inspired by his place of residence
The property is located within the sought-after Starwood community, which includes luxurious amenities such as private tennis courts, cross-country ski trails, horse pastures, hiking trails, and even its own postal office and fire station.
In fact, Denver was so moved by the community’s natural beauty that he wrote “Starwood In Aspen.” Listen to the song below!
