Fireside Chat

Welcome to the winter edition of Elevate. Beyond a showcase of our incredible listings and vacation rentals, this issue is a fête of winter and spring in the Roaring Fork Valley. In the following pages, we pay homage to one of the Valley’s most enduring and beloved architectural styles and share behind-the-scenes insight on some of today’s most highly-coveted Aspen photography from the man behind the camera, Gray Malin. Plus, get an inside look at Sotheby’s new global headquarters, along with the annual Aspen sporting event becoming winter’s hottest ticket and its impact on local equestrian culture and real estate.

in Aspen and being a real estate professional in a variety of roles here. Why not tap into those resources and do 30 -minute open interviews with people? I chose to host the conversations on Zoom so people can listen in in real time and participate. I want these calls to be open and available to the public. So far, we’ve talked to a very well -known local appraiser Randy Gold, top real estate attorney Chris LaCroix, and an amazing real estate entrepreneur and current city council person, Bill Guth. I ask some questions that are intentionally targeted based on their profession and some that are more open. The hope is for whoever is listening in or participating in the conversation—whether it’s my two teenage sons, our agents, staff, clients or the general public—to learn a little bit about that person, what they do, what they enjoy about what they do, what the challenges are, and then also just some off-the-cuff stuff information that might be general life or business advice. So far, it’s been really fun, and I’ve got dozens more people, topics in line. Andrew Ernemann’s words to work by? Do right. Do good. Just do it. (Thank you Nike for the last part.) Visit AspenSnowmassSIR.com to watch the rest of this fireside chat in real time and view all Andrew’s conversations, which we will continue to post on the Aspen Real Estate Experience page of the website.

o kick off this issue, we sat down with Andrew Ernemann, Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty CEO, to talk real estate, culture and leadership, and get the scoop on his latest series of conversations, The Aspen Real Estate Experience. Enjoy this fireside chat between Andrew and Sophia Ponton, Director of Marketing. When you took on a leadership role with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty, one of your first initiatives was creating a formal Mission, Vision & Values statement. Why was this a priority for you? I wanted to have what I felt was a foundation in place for all of our staff and agents to refer to, to understand, to think about, to hopefully believe in, and then to go forward and act upon. I also felt very strongly that for us to continue to be the most successful number one real estate firm in the Roaring Fork Valley, we really needed to have a culture that everybody could feel and grab on to. That culture built itself organically over the years in a really cool way. By codifying a mission, vision, and values statement, we give people the opportunity to identify with who we are as a company and discern how we are different from other real estate firms and companies in our area and beyond. Tell me about the Aspen Real Estate Experience. What it is? How did it evolve? I feel one of my duties in helping to lead our company, agents, and staff is to continuously be at the tip of the spear in terms of our quest for knowledge and professionalism, and our ability to serve our clients in the best possible way. I really try to take a holistic approach to that because it’s not all just nuts and bolts about knowing real estate, the blocking and When I asked myself, “What are things that will help our agents, staff, younger generations and even just the general public grow, be better, be interested, and be engaged?” The concept of The Aspen Real Estate Experience is very simple. I’ve actually done things like this in very different formats in different areas of my life previously for different purposes. I have a deep black book of contacts from my years of growing up

Gray Malin opens up about inspiration, nostalgia, and why Aspen remains his ultimate muse.

The Art of Living

BEAUTIFULLY 6

or fine-art photographer Gray Malin, Aspen is more than a destination—it’s a muse. Through his lens, the town’s snowcapped peaks, vintage ski culture, and effortless sophistication transform into living art. From the glamorous nostalgia of his Gray Malin in Aspen series to the playful warmth of Dogs of Aspen, Malin captures what makes this mountain enclave so enduringly magnetic: its ability to be both aspirational and deeply human. Over the years, Malin’s creative connection to Aspen has evolved into a full-fledged love affair — spanning installations, collaborations, and his newest aerial photographs that reveal the town’s rare beauty from above. In this exclusive conversation, he reflects on Aspen’s unique brand of grounded luxury, the art of living beautifully, and the inspiration he continues to find in the mountains that feel like home. Aspen has clearly become one of your great muses. What is it about Aspen’s landscape, culture, or energy that continues to inspire your creative vision year after year? Aspen is incredibly unique in the value it brings to all who visit and reside in this special place. There is so much it offers, while it retains its charm as a small town. That value (outdoor activities, fashion, music, art, restaurants, family experiences to name a few) is unmatched and keeps Aspen feeling aspirational yet relatable. When I create artwork I want it to feel the same... relatable yet aspirational. I am inspired to continue to create work in such a valuable community. Aspen Sotheby’s International Realty celebrates the art of living beautifully. How do you see your photography aligning with that idea — of turning life itself into a kind of art form? I love that phrase, “the art of living beautifully.” I think it perfectly aligns with my vision and my work, in a way, celebrates that. A great house is a canvas, and the things you fill it with, including the art, are what turn it into a home. When

people see my photography, I hope it inspires them to find that beauty in their everyday lives. When you fill a home with wonderful things that bring you joy, combined with the backdrop of a gorgeous natural destination like Aspen that brings joy as well—that’s truly the art of living beautifully. Your Gray Malin in Aspen series feels like stepping into a snow globe — equal parts fantasy and nostalgia. Can you share what first sparked that mid-century, vintage-ski aesthetic and how you brought it to life on the mountain? I was originally inspired by my grandparents. They led a very glamorous life and left nearly 50 photo albums of their adventures. They traveled to 100 countries, and I love looking through those albums. There’s something about that time period—the ‘60s and ‘70s—that makes me tick, and I wanted to bring that aesthetic to Aspen. The shoot was no easy task, having to source so many vintage props and get them up the mountain via snowcat or gondola, but the effort was worth the reward. Shooting this series was all about creating images that celebrate local ski culture in a retro chic way, with a nod to Aspen’s alpine elegance. From The Little Nell partnership to Snow Beach at the top of Ajax, your projects in Aspen have evolved in scale and concept. How do you decide when a creative idea is ready to move from imagination to execution? I love pushing boundaries. Though I started as a photographer, my creative intention quickly expanded from taking the image to creating experiences based on my artwork for others to enjoy and capture their own pictures and memories. There is a lot of power in giving others the tools to become the photographer themselves–and I love being the vehicle that inspires them. The Dogs of Aspen series was a runaway success—pun intended. Why do you think people connected so deeply with that collection? I wanted this series to be an expansion of my love letter to Aspen through a new subject matter, dogs, that brings joy to all. The idea for the series came to me

while I was playing with my kids at Wagner Park admiring the many incredible dog breeds running in the rugby field. I think people related to this series because pets are like family members and it was a unique combination capturing man’s best friend in a beloved destination with a snowy escape backdrop. I was so proud that through this series we were able to raise over $60,000 for the Aspen Animal Shelter. You’ve captured Aspen from so many angles—on the slopes, at après, even from the sky in your newest aerial collection. What does photographing Aspen from above reveal that can’t be seen from the ground? Seeing the four mountains from above was sensational, and they each felt unique in their terrain and landscape. The standout moment was flying over Aspen Highlands and seeing the hikers headed to ski the bowl. Flying above and seeing all the movement of the lifts and the skiers traversing down the slopes against the backdrop of Aspen’s otherworldly beauty is something that is hard to describe. Seeing it all at once is a unique vantage you won’t be able to quite get on the ground. You’ve worked with some of the most iconic destinations in the world—from Bora Bora to the Amalfi Coast. In your eyes, what makes Aspen’s brand of luxury distinct? Aspen’s luxury is distinct because it’s so grounded. It’s not just about a five-star hotel or an exclusive restaurant, it’s a luxury that’s earned. It’s in the physical challenge of earning your turns on the mountain, the deep sense of community you feel in town, and the simplicity of spending time with family. It’s an authentic luxury that’s rooted in experience and in the natural beauty of the place itself. Finally, when you think about Aspen—its mountains, its community, its sense of magic—how would you describe what it feels like to you, beyond the image?

AspenSnowmassSIR.com

Aspen is a place that recharges my creative spirit and fills me with a sense of peace. From the locals you meet there is a sense of kindness and welcoming that envelops you. It’s a place where I’ve created so many memories with my family, like watching our kids learn to ski for the first time. It’s a feeling of pure, unadulterated bliss that I’m so lucky to get to experience. It’s that deep sense of contentment you feel when you’re in a place that just feels right and you breathe in, and truly exhale.

Ode to the

LOG CABIN

Step inside some of the Roaring Fork Valley’s most timeless homes, where mountains, memory, and modern life converge. 94

here’s a quiet kind of magic in a log cabin — the kind that seeps into the beams and lingers in the air. Step inside and time slows; you exhale without realizing you’ve been holding your breath. A log cabin is more than a house — it’s a way of living, built from wood, fire, and intention. In Aspen, a cabin is both a retreat and a stage, a place where floorboards creak under bare feet, soups simmer slowly on the stove, and laughter echoes beneath high ceilings. Cabins here were born of necessity. More than a century ago, early settlers and trappers built rough shelters along creek beds, handnotching logs and fitting them together by lantern light. They were practical, sturdy, and built to last. Over time, those shelters evolved into sanctuaries that balance raw nature with refined design — a blend that still defines mountain living today. That legacy endures far beyond the valley floor. High in the mountains, historic log cabins continue to serve skiers, hikers, and dreamers alike. The ghost town of Ashcroft stands as a reminder of Aspen’s mining roots, while the 10th Mountain Division Hut Association carries on the spirit of backcountry refuge, with more than 30 cabins scattered across the high country for winter adventurers. On Aspen Mountain itself, the Buckhorn Cabin — now owned by Aspen Skiing Company — welcomes skiers for cozy lunches and après-ski gatherings beneath timbered rafters. These storied shelters remind us that the log cabin is not a relic —it’s a living part of Aspen’s landscape, as relevant to modern ski culture as it was to early settlers seeking warmth and shelter. “Log homes in Aspen tend to have been custom-built by master craftsmen,” says Etta McLendon, real estate agent with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty. “They are impeccably tight and efficient homes. And, because they have been around for generations, they can often be picked up at a steep discount to new construction. Log homes can be tailored to suit a variety of aesthetic tastes: from classic Ralph Lauren Americana to sand-blasted Scandinavian minimalism. Frankly, our most

astute buyers seek log or traditional homes and go from there.” Becky Dombrowski, broker associate with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty notes that the log home embodies the very idea of mountain living. “It offers mountain elegance with rustic charm so every detail radiates warmth and character,” says Dombrowski, listing agent for 776 Snowmass Creek Road, Snowmass, a sprawling log home built in 2009 surrounded by 12+ acres of pristine wilderness in the heart of Snowmass. “The home features soaring ceilings adorned with exposed wood beams and rich hardwood floors. It truly blends with nature.” In the following pages, we’ll explore several remarkable Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty listings — each a love letter to the land, a story of heritage, design, and the enduring allure of the mountains. Aspen’s Hidden Landmark on the River Tucked along the banks of the Roaring Fork River, the historic log cabin at 117 Neale Avenue in Aspen is a living relic of Aspen’s past — a one-bedroom, one-bath home with as much life outside as within. Originally built in the 1880s by a Scandinavian woodsman and trapper known for his craftsmanship, the cabin first stood in Snowmass, on the site where the Timbers Club now sits. In the 1960s, it was rescued by Fritz and Fabi Benedict — two of Aspen’s most visionary figures, known for their influence on the town’s postwar architectural renaissance. Fritz, a Harvard-trained architect and protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, helped shape Aspen’s design ethos, blending modernism with mountain sensibility. The Benedicts relocated and rebuilt the cabin on their Stillwater Road property before it was ultimately moved to its current Neale Avenue setting.

In the mid-1990s, the cabin was carefully reassembled “from a pile of boards,” its original logs preserved plank by plank. Today, it stands protected under the City of Aspen’s Historic Landmark designation — a rare piece of Aspen’s architectural soul. “It’s such a peaceful, grounding place,” says Lex Tarumianz, listing agent and broker associate with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty. “The way the windows are positioned, you’re completely surrounded by nature. You look out and see the river flowing past. In winter, when the snow is falling and the light filters through the trees, it feels almost magical.” The cabin’s welcoming front porch invites long afternoons spent listening to the river, while inside, vaulted beams and warm light create an atmosphere of intimacy and nostalgia. “You really feel the history in the presence of the cabin,” says Tarumianz. “It reminds you where Aspen came from — it’s an ode to the town’s roots.” Despite its modest footprint, the home surprises visitors with its sense of space and openness. “When you walk in, it just expands — the energy, the light, the connection to the outdoors,” Tarumianz says. “When you think about classic mountain living, the log cabin is quintessential. It’s the heartbeat of the mountain lifestyle — rustic, rare, and utterly timeless.” A Log Estate in the Heart of Snowmass Set against the sweeping backdrop of Mount Sopris, QTR Ranch at 1301 Shield O Road, Snowmass is the kind of place that still echoes with the rhythm of hoofbeats and the hum of ranch life — a timeless expression of Colorado’s western soul. At its center stands a grand log home that feels both timeless and monumental. Soaring cathedral ceilings, broad terraces, and generous living spaces create a sense 96

Living in a log home constructed from natural materials that are derived from its immediate surroundings (or feel like they are) doesn’t just speak to some high-minded concept of sustainability; rather, it touches something primal in our souls. This is why people move to the West in the first place, isn’t it? - Etta McLendon, broker associate with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty

of harmony with the surrounding wilderness. The property, listed with Tara Cathcart and Susan Lodge, broker associates with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty, is a place where land and legacy converge — a true mountain estate designed for those who seek both beauty and purpose. “There’s a visceral comfort to log homes—both visual and physical,” Cathcart explains. “Many Aspen/Snowmass log home estates strike a perfect balance between rustic and refined—massive stone fireplaces, vaulted timber ceilings, and expansive windows paired with high-end finishes. A log home in the mountains feels like a true retreat.” That feeling of sanctuary is palpable here. Built in 1993, every window frames another postcard view — the pond glinting in afternoon light, the pastures rolling into distant peaks, and the ever-present silence that seems to steady the soul. As Cathcart notes, “QTR Ranch is unique as it is truly a one-of-a-kind legacy property with endless views of the surrounding peaks and the ski runs of Snowmass Mountain. There is simply nothing else on the market that compares — between the exquisite Western barn, riding ring, private lake, classic log home, and breathtaking views — a true mountain paradise.” QTR Ranch is less a home than a heritage — a private world built for generations, where mornings begin with mist over the meadows and evenings end beneath the alpenglow. It’s an enduring reflection of Colorado’s wild, sophisticated heart. Modern Soul, Historic Bones in Aspen’s West End

In the heart of Aspen’s West End, 109 North 2nd Street blends the warmth of a 19th-century log cabin with the polish of modern mountain design — a home where history and innovation coexist seamlessly. Originally built in the 1930s, the cabin carries the charm and character of an era when Aspen was still emerging from its mining town roots. Over time, the cabin was meticulously remodeled and expanded with a contemporary wing, designed by local architect Charles Cunniffe,

109 North 2nd Street, Aspen

creating a home that seamlessly blends old and new. The original cabin houses the main living area, a bedroom, and an office, while the modern extension accommodates the remaining bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and an additional living area with a bar. A playful “secret” powder room connects the two wings — accessible by tugging on a book in the bookshelf — a nod to both whimsy and the home’s layered history. You can stay in this property for yourself, as it is available for rent with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty with broker associates Ashley Feddersen and Sarah Pegler. Fedderson describes the property as “one of the oldest cabins I know about in Aspen, and it really stands out. The dichotomy between the historic 1930s cabin and the contemporary side of the home is just so unique.” She highlights the cabin’s imaginative details: “The bunk room was designed to look like a train car, complete with a picture of an old train at the entry and a working train light. It makes the space feel like a piece of history with an eclectic touch for whoever is staying there.” Beyond design, the cabin tells Aspen’s story. “Most of the bedrooms feature photos from Aspen’s history — there is one of a parade with elephants down old Main Street, for example. They are contemporary rooms with exquisite finishes from Aspen’s past. It’s the perfect juxtaposition of where Aspen began and where we are today,” Feddersen explains. The cabin’s location further enhances its appeal. “It’s right on Main Street, so you can walk to the gondola, shops, and dining, yet it has a large yard and can fit a household of 20. It’s perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the town’s energy while having your own private retreat,” Feddersen notes. 109 North 2nd Street, Aspen is more than a residence; it is a celebration of Aspen itself — its history, its evolution, and its ability to embrace modern luxury without erasing the past.

A Riverside Cabin with Soul At 1637 Emma Spur Road, Basalt, a log home captures the spirit of country living — rustic yet refined, expansive yet deeply connected to the land. Nestled among rolling pastures and mature pines, the estate spans four acres of meticulously groomed lawns, riverfront, and multi-building architecture. At the center stands a classic Ackerman Log Cabin, a handcrafted design renowned for its precise joinery and timeless, rustic aesthetic — a style that embodies the tradition of log cabin craftsmanship while accommodating modern luxury. “It’s a one-of-a-kind, meticulously groomed property that lives like a private compound,” says Ivan Skoric, listing agent and broker associate with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty. “There are multiple dwellings and buildings, yet you’re so close to everything Basalt offers. It’s rare to find that balance of privacy and proximity.” The cabin itself is a masterclass in nostalgia and refinement — a place that feels both timeless and elevated. “As soon as you walk in, you’re overwhelmed with that sense of serenity and comfort that only a log cabin can offer,” Skoric explains. “It’s been distinctly upgraded throughout, but never at the expense of its traditional spirit.” Outside, a massive wraparound deck overlooks more than 400 feet of river frontage. “The property is spread over four acres of golf-course-grade lawns and old pine forest,” Skoric says. “We’ve hosted large gatherings out on that deck, and everyone is just mesmerized by the sound of the river flowing past.” For buyers, the appeal is emotional as much as it is aesthetic. “This is for anyone who wants to capture the spirit of older days in Colorado,” Skoric notes. “It’s perfect for families who crave space and privacy without having to drive twenty minutes out of town — and for anyone who loves life on the river.” At 1637 Emma Spur Road, Basalt, luxury and legacy coexist. The result is a home that feels less like an address and more like an heirloom — a private sanctuary where the hum of the river and the serenity of the forest combine to create the quintessential mid-valley retreat.

1637 Emma Spur Road, Basalt

Coming Home These log structures each tell a different story about the Roaring Fork Valley’s evolving relationship with shelter, landscape, and memory. To own 117 Neale Avenue is to hold a fragment of Aspen’s origin story; to vacation at 109 North 2nd Street is to inhabit Aspen’s constantly shifting identity; to retreat to Emma Spur Road is to find peace and belonging in the valley’s timber and water; to reside at QTR Ranch is to step into a mountainscape that transcends generations. The log cabin, showcased throughout these listings and luxury vacation rentals, is more than just an architectural style or timber and nails. It is a vessel, a chronicle written in wood. Each beam bears the imprint of weather, light, and time; each wall carries the residue of warmth and endurance. To stand inside one is to feel the quiet conversation between past and present, between human hands and the natural world. To cross through the doors of a log cabin, whether built a century or a decade ago, is to enter the pulse of the Roaring Fork Valley, to listen for its stories, and to become part of the conversation. As the Roaring Fork Valley changes, historic architectural styles like the log cabins anchor us. They ask us to slow down, to feel wood’s weight, to listen for seasons in shifting light. In their logs, we hear echoes of Aspen settlers — but also of architects, craftsmen, and buyers who curate history deliberately, asking what it means to belong to a place. Across these log cabin properties, whether modern or historic, that dialogue is alive and evolving. Each home honors Aspen’s origins while embracing what it has become — a place where craftsmanship meets imagination, where heritage is not preserved in amber but reinterpreted through design. These cabins remind us that a home can hold memory, that architecture can deepen our connection to the landscape rather than obscure it. In their grain and geometry, they tell the ongoing story of Aspen itself — enduring, evolving, and endlessly alive. Written by Shannon Asher

Where Passion Meets Place

Snow Polo Photography by Austin Colbert, Courtesy of The Aspen Times

SNOW POLO & THE SPIRIT OF EQUESTRIAN ASPEN

n the United States, snow polo is played exclusively in Aspen, a winter haven perfectly suited to the sport, thanks to reliable snowfall, high-altitude light, a rich equestrian tradition, and a community that embraces athleticism as lifestyle. Each December, the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship—now in its 14th year—transforms Rio Grande Park into a world-class arena, drawing patrons for both sport and spectacle. “The atmosphere is electric: horses on snow, the mountains and ski slopes as a backdrop, and an audience that ranges from lifelong horse people to visitors seeing polo for the first time,” says Noël Hallisey, former professional Equastrain, longtime horse polo player with the Aspen Polo Club, and a pioneer of women’s polo in the Roaring Fork Valley. “It’s a unique combination.” Known for its rare blend of horsemanship and pageantry, the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship has become one of Aspen’s most coveted winter experiences—a glittering celebration where winter light, alpine vistas, and the grace of the horse take center stage. General admission is free, yet the VIP experience in the St. Regis hospitality tent is a masterclass in alpine luxury: front-row views, flowing bubbles, and the kind of curated winter spectacle only Aspen can deliver. Chantal Henderson, a lifelong horsewoman and equestrian property specialist with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty calls the event “aspirational and symbolic.“ Polo’s influence here has been more cultural than commercial. It’s about the lifestyle, the fashion, the image of equestrian elegance. The snow polo championship amplifies that appeal—

it’s Ralph Lauren meets Rocky Mountain ranching. People want to live that story, or at least dress like they do.” But the tournament’s allure extends beyond the fashion or clatter of mallets and thundering hooves. Polo has quietly reshaped Aspen’s cultural DNA, fostering a heightened appreciation for equestrian living. “Aspen has always been a place where sophistication meets the rugged West,” says Hallisey, also an agent with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty. “Polo complements the western traditions, like rodeo and ranch life, and the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship really elevated the equestrian scene and attracted folks who might not otherwise have been involved with horses or polo at all.” Equestrian culture has long been a cornerstone of the Roaring Fork Valley’s identity, shaping both land and community. Horse polo bridges the local traditional western heritage with a larger, more international equestrian community. “Aspen has always been a place where sophistication meets the rugged West,” says Hallisey. “We have such a great blend of horse worlds here. It’s one of the things that makes Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley so special. You might have a fifth-generation rancher and an international polo player riding side by side. There’s a shared respect for the horses and the land that connects everyone.” The St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship is the only official snow polo tournament in North America. The sport of snow polo itself traces its origins to St. Moritz, Switzerland, where it began in 1985. “It’s fantastic to see Aspen named alongside St. Moritz, where they play on a frozen lake,” says Hallisey. “Aspen, already an international destination for skiing, suddenly added snow polo to its list of world-class winter experiences.” 162

Traditionally, winter isn’t a riding season in the mountains, but snow polo has shifted that mindset. “This event proves that it is possible to enjoy horses here in the winter with the right amenities, like heated barns and indoor arenas,” notes Hallisey. The horses are actually transported in just for the event. They’re trained in Florida and brought to Aspen with warm winter blankets and special snow shoes that give them traction to play safely on snow. It’s an incredible sight and a real feat of horsemanship and logistics.” Horses polo’s influence naturally extends beyond Aspen to the rest of the Roaring Fork Valley, where some of the nation’s most impressive ranches and equestrian estates reflect a lifestyle rooted in heritage, elegance, and outdoor living. “Post-COVID, we’ve seen tremendous demand for ranch properties that offer the Colorado lifestyle—horses, open land, big views,” Henderson says. “Most buyers aren’t serious equestrian competitors; they’re lifestyle equestrians. They want that ranch aesthetic and experience, with horses as part of the picture.” While the valley may not rival Wellington, Florida, or Thermal, California, as a year-round equestrian hub, it draws buyers seeking something rare: space, serenity, and style. “Equestrian properties are more desirable than ever,” Hallisey notes. “Buyers who might have been looking for just a home in the Valley are now

drawn to properties with stables, paddocks, or proximity to polo. There’s been a clear increase in demand for equestrian-ready estates of land with water that can be developed into horse facilities. Having a world-class polo club here adds prestige and has encouraged more investment in horserelated properties. Buyers interested in equestrian properties today are looking for properties that combine functionality, comfort, and privacy. They value well-designed barns with heated tack rooms, proper drainage and footing in arenas, high-quality fencing, and convenient access to trails or open spaces. Many also prioritize staff accommodations and cohesive designs that seamlessly connect equestrian facilities with the overall lifestyle. There’s an increasing emphasis on sustainability and horse health—features like natural pastures, eco-friendly infrastructure, and improved barn ventilation are in demand. Buyers also seek versatility: estates that can host polo ponies during the summer but easily adapt for family use or guests. Above all, they want a harmonious blend of sport, lifestyle, and scenic mountain beauty that defines this Valley’s unique appeal. Properties like the Red Barn, Merry Go Ranch, and Hill Top Aspen continue that story, where the spirit of horses, heritage, and refined living endures long after the game is over.

EQUESTRIAN PROPERTY SPOTLIGHT Check out some of our incredible equestrian properties

Hilltop Aspen: A Private Horse Retreat 26 Bunker Loop, Aspen Listed with Scott Bayens This gated five-acre retreat, only 15 minutes from Aspen or Snowmass Village, balances privacy with convenience. “It’s unique among other ranch listings as the average is smaller, so you’ve got room to roam and keep a few horses just outside town,” says Scott Bayens. “Convenient but private and bucolic.” The 2,000-square-foot barndominium is fully furnished and equipped, with a chef’s kitchen, outdoor living area, and flexible living or recreation space. The future tack room and indoor stalls open up to the corral and irrigated pasture,” Bayens says.

Brush Creek Ranch 660 Brush Creek Road, Snowmass Village Listed with Chris Klug Set on over 102 acres between Aspen and Snowmass Village, Brush Creek Ranch is a rare, legacy offering bordered by 900 acres of Sky Mountain Park Open Space and the Brush Creek Trail. The property features an updated six-bedroom 1913 ranch house in a grandfathered riverfront setting—an irreplaceable location by today’s standards—along with a 6-stall barn, multiple corrals, and a 5,000 sq. ft. multi-purpose shed that once hosted iconic local gatherings. The ranch is subdivided into three developable parcels, each offering panoramic views of Mt. Daly, Capitol Peak, Garrett Peak, and the Snowmass Ski Area. 164

Merry Go Ranch: Heritage in Motion 1650 McLain Flats Road, Aspen Listed with Soffia Wardy Few properties capture that balance of prestige and lifestyle better than Merry Go Ranch, perched along McLain Flats. Spanning 21.3 irrigated acres and held by the same family for nearly four decades, this Aspen icon fuses history, luxury, and equestrian purpose. “Merry Go Ranch is one of Aspen’s original McLain Flats estates, and that continuity speaks to its significance,” says Soffia Wardy. “It’s a true working ranch that merges heritage, lifestyle, and luxury. Beyond the eight-stall barn and expansive pastures, the estate includes more than 30,000 square feet of improvements—from a residence to a private athletic facility, barn, and employee housing.” The true heartbeat of Merry Go Ranch lies in its barn and pastures. “The land itself is a canvas,” Wardy says. “Wide, irrigated meadows are ideal for riding, training, or even hosting private polo matches. The stables are functional yet elegant, supported by adjacent pastures that flow seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The rhythm of horses grazing beneath mature spruce trees and the sound of the Salvation Ditch running through the fields create an experience that feels timeless and deeply Aspen.”

QTR Ranch 1301 Shield O Road, Snowmass Listed with Susan Lodge and Tara Cathcart This magical 107+ acre equestrian estate set high above Old Snowmass with commanding views of Snowmass Mountain and the Elk Mountain Range, all just 35 minutes from downtown Aspen. Equestrian facilities include an eightstall barn, a spectacular riding ring, and ample pastureland. At the heart of this legacy ranch’s equestrian amenities is a remarkable 3,080-square-foot, eightstall 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. An intricate irrigation system nourishes lush landscaping and produces fresh hay each summer. AspenSnowmassSIR.com

MILESTONE MOMENT We are proud to have represented both the buyer and seller in this landmark transaction involving one of Colorado’s most distinguished equestrian estates Roxy’s Red Barn — Colorado’s Equestrian Crown Jewel 5644 County Road 100, Carbondale Listed with Soffia Wardy Buyer Represented by Terry Rogers The Red Barn elevates equestrian living to an art form. “It truly represents the pinnacle of equestrian lifestyle and craftsmanship in Colorado,” says Soffia Wardy.“ Riders can train year-round indoors, then cool down along private riding trails with panoramic Mount Sopris views.” The property is rare in both scale and quality — spanning nearly 38 acres with deeded water rights, multiple irrigated pastures, and two outdoor arenas, all anchored by a 244by-108 heated indoor arena built to commercial specifications.” Every inch of The Red Barn was designed for professional-level performance and comfort, Wardy adds. From the 41 stalls with automatic waterers and 14 grooming bays to full vet and farrier rooms, a staff kitchen, it’s one of the few true fourseason equestrian estates in the valley. “The Red Barn embodies balance,” Wardy concludes. “Between utility and elegance, isolation and accessibility, it’s turnkey for a professional operation or an equestrian family who values design as much as function. It’s not simply a ranch; it’s a destination that celebrates horses, nature, and the art of elevated country living.” In 2022, Terry Rogers, a longtime equestrian herself, brought the perfect buyer. Rogers found it especially fun being involved in the sale of this property because “not only is it a beautifully designed/built equestrian facility, but great friends of mine purchased the property. Before Roxy’s Red

Bar, there was nowhere readily available in the Roaring Fork Valley where I could keep and train my two horses year-round. Now fellow equestrians of all ages and I have the ability to ride, train and gather in a safe and incredibly well-run facility any season.” Now home to Paradise Farms Equestrian, you can board or train with your horse at Roxy’s Red Barn.

Sotheby’s Spotlight

AspenSnowmassSIR.com

A Look Inside Sotheby’s NEW GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS Sotheby’s turned a page in its storied history, relocating its worldwide headquarters in New York to one of the city’s most architecturally revered landmarks on Madison Avenue: The Breuer Building.

riginally designed in 1966 by Bauhaus master Marcel Breuer for the Whitney Museum of American Art, the structure’s bold geometry and expressive concrete façade stand as enduring testaments to modernist vision and creative daring. Over the decades, the Breuer has housed collections by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Frick Collection, and remains one of the city’s most celebrated buildings today. In November 2025, following a meticulous restoration by Herzog & de Meuron—renowned for projects such as Tate Modern in London and the de Young Museum in San Francisco—the Breuer reawakens with renewed vitality as the new auction house headquarters. The architects have preserved Breuer’s iconic elements, from the distinctive trapezoidal “eyelid” windows to the sculptural rhythm of bluestone and concrete while infusing the interiors with a refined modern sensibility that bridges past and present. For Sotheby’s, the move represents more than a change of address; it is a return to artistry. December marked another milestone not only for the auction house but for real estate—specifically Sotheby’s International Realty and Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions, the leading global luxury real estate auction marketplace. In the first-ever live auction of real estate from the Breuer Building, select properties closed live on December 17 during Sotheby’s annual, highly-anticipated End-of-Year Global Sale. The sale drew a global audience of live bidders eager to participate in this significant moment where the gavel fell on extraordinary properties all over the world. During Sotheby’s Luxury Week, also held at the New York headquarters in December, gallery-goers enjoyed a selection of hand-picked properties on display leading up to the live event. Stop by 945 Madison Avenue, New York to see the new headquarters for yourself. Visit Sothebys.com to see upcoming dates on exhibitions and auctions.
