A heated and finished two-car garage provides convenience and comfort, plus a brand new DaVinci roof and 7 seat hot tub installed in June 2025. At the heart of this ranch's equestrian amenities is a remarkable 3,080-square-foot, eight-stall barn built in 2007. Designed with both beauty and function in mind, it offers individual stalls with turnouts, rubber pavers and mats, a wash stall, tack room, spacious hayloft, and an office with a full bath. Complementing the barn is a premier riding arena with a lava floor, along with fully fenced pastures that complete the equestrian setting. The property is also home to an expansive flat lawn leading to a grand, aerated pond with a sand beach perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking or just relaxing by the water. A charming gazebo at the top of the property offers 360 degree views from Snowmass Mountain to the Old Snowmass Monastery and beyond, creating an unmatched setting for sunset views. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the estate includes multiple outdoor living and dining spaces, adjudicated water rights, a private well, and an intricate irrigation system that nourishes lush landscaping and produces fresh hay each summer. Comprising two legal parcel, one of which allows for the construction of a 5,750 square foot additional residence, the estate offers both flexibility and long-term potential for a family compound.
