Tucked away in Aspen, high above the Roaring Fork Valley, sits a striking retreat designed by the late postmodernist architect Robert A.M. Stern. Renowned for legendary luxury Manhattan towers like 15 Central Park West and 220 Central Park South, Stern plotted the sprawling home across 3.5 acres running crosswise along a raw rock face on Red Mountain—an exclusive enclave nicknamed “Billionaire Mountain” due to its clutch of ultra-wealthy residents ranging from media mogul Byron Allen to Walmart heiress Ann Walton Kroenke.
One of only three Stern-designed homes built in the Rocky Mountain resort town, the tawny-beige stucco and wood-trimmed structure hovers atop a native red sandstone base. A curving wall of glass fills the classically elegant interiors with natural light while framing views of Independence Pass and Mount Sopris over the Elk Mountain range.
The elegant living room overlooks scenic views of snow-covered mountains.
