About This Property

MLS ID 185835

Immerse yourself in one of the few remaining, untainted areas of Snowmass. This is a very unique opportunity to inhabit the modest and authentic Rocky Mountain abode of a sculptor and scholar celebrated and featured throughout Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. (His most recent show entitled 'A Hoof Print In The Sand Slowly Filling With Water,' was on display in August 2024 at the Aspen Collective at the Wheeler Opera House gallery) Step into the mind's eye of a true local Aspen artist! Immerse yourself in their wild kingdom. Mr. Fulton's work has decorated, celebrated, and enhanced many stomping grounds of Aspen and Snowmass over the past 50 years. He co-founded Anderson Ranch in Snowmass and has his fountains and sculptures in some of the most notable and trafficked locations in downtown Aspen. Escape the crowds, commerce, and contrived fashions and lose yourself in a true, original Aspen artist's home, among reclaimed barn beams, an ambient wood burning fireplace, a rogue cat, breathtaking views of Sopris, idle strolls, cross country skiing, or snowshoeing through the surrounding meadows and valleys...tickle the piano keys, stream an aria through the high powered speakers, or write, read, think, play, create, inspire all that is frivolous, free and fancy in your own quiet space and place, in a home of one who embraces and inspires the same passions of artists, writers, lovers, sinners, and bon vivantes! Let the walls of this sculptor's self-built refuge, infuse itself into your innermost senses and desires. Creativity will flow, from your pen, your keyboard, your brush, your palate, your chisel, spatula, spoon, voice, strum, or stroke. This is the last of the small time Aspen artists' retreats....raw, pure, natural, cozy, calm and ready for your ideas and heart to sing! A cylindrical custom copper railing leads to the primary bedroom with window framed views of Sopris, which resemble an oil painting! The farmhouse style country table is also positioned perfectly to take in Sopris and wandering wildlife while dining. Over the rivers and through the woods, watch the snow fall while celebrating a holiday meal. This is a very authentic and sparsely decorated property. There are deer, bear, horses, various species of birds, elk and other flora and fauna sharing space outdoors. Little Elk Creek is for someone seeking refuge, away from modernity, crowds, chaos, and commercial infrastructures. It is a place for quiet, romance, inspiration, and peace. This is a no-frills home to get away from it all. The ambiance is puritanical, something Jeremiah Johnson or JB Blunk would have built for themselves.
