Welcome to The Peak House Estate, a timeless, striking home located at the apex of Red Mountain in Aspen, Colorado. Atop the most exclusive enclave of real estate in Aspen is this estate that boasts ''Top of the World Views'' from nearly every corner of the 22,000+ square feet of living space and storage/utility room and the garage under roof. The living spaces and chef's kitchen are ideal for intimate events or to entertain on a grand scale, with breathtaking views as the focal point of every room.

With nearly too many luxury amenities to list, some of the home's most exceptional features include two swimming pools & a hot tub, parking for 13-car garage, the Conservatory (or Garden Room), a wine cave that can seat up to a dozen guests, a private gate, extensive snow-melted driveway and courtyards, and full-size gym. Take advantage of all-day sunshine and panoramic views spanning from Independence Pass to Mt. Sopris and the entire Aspen Valley on the over 5,841 square foot of outdoor stone terraces.

This is one of the most precision-built, elegantly executed homes that Aspen has to offer, and includes the incredible benefits that come with being surrounded by world-class skiing, hiking, and Aspen's spectacular restaurants and nightlife.

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to call the top of the world home.

To truly understand the exceptional uniqueness of this estate, one must understand the story of its construction and the uniqueness of the amenities for a Red Mountain home.

The estate took over five years to construct. The first year and a half were simply spent removing 400,000 tons of Redstone, Sandstone, and Granite from the site. The stone materials were then used to construct the interior floors and walls, facings, retaining walls, balconies, and terraces, giving the home a seamless connection to the land it sits on. Even casual inspection will reveal fossil imprints that date back some 80 million years, the date when the current Rocky Mountains were formed. Despite its grand size, the estate, with its myriad of natural hues, magically blends into the Red Mountain hillside with timeless elegance.

The quiet interior of the home was re-designed by the esteemed David Easton. The house incorporates old-world pine paneling, 150-year-old heart pine floors, and a custom oversized limestone fireplace. There is a show-stopping hand build wood staircase in the great room and dining area. Easton used distinct fabrics, lighting, handmade Austrian hardware, and specialized finishes to add warmth to the natural wood & stone materials. Libraries and comfortable seating areas adorn the great room, and floor-to-ceiling windows provide panoramic views. Whether contemplatively taking in the views or entertaining guests, everyone is sure to be comfortable with radiant floor heat and central air conditioning.

The Peak House has several thoughtful spaces for dining to accommodate grand entertaining or intimate family meals. The formal dining room is open to the great room, affording spaciousness and permitting full views of the mountains. Next to the formal dining area is a candle-light Wine Cave with hand-painted murals that can seat additional guests. The wine cave holds 750 bottles of wine and has additional storage for dishes and glassware. These two dining areas allow for more intimate groups, one open to mountain views, and the other enclosed for total privacy and romance. For informal meals, there are two outdoor dining areas with beautiful sunset views, and several areas within the kitchen. There are endless opportunities for entertaining and hosting within this home. In

the middle of the house is the Conservatory (or Garden Room). The Southern Italian Villa feel of this room is a unique complement to the views of the Aspen Valley. Skylights welcome sun into the home and gives life to abundant greenery and flowers, and emanates coveted humidity into its arid environment, year-round, offering an ideal place to swim indoors, enjoy afternoon tea, or have candlelight suppers under starry mountain skies. This stunning room has been the backdrop of some of Aspen's most exclusive parties easily holding 60+ guests.

The kitchen is a chef's kitchen and a family kitchen all in one. Top-notch appliances and large work areas, as well as large pantries allow for both storage and entertaining. The kitchen is light and bright with several large windows, bar seating, and in-kitchen dining. A fireplace with a seating area adds to the coziness, easily making this room the center of the home.

The configuration of the sleeping quarters was designed to provide comfort in the most gracious manner possible. The owner's wing is nothing short of grand with three walk-in closets, his and her bathrooms, and a 300-pound safe for priceless valuables.

On the same floor as the master is a generous private office with a meeting area, custom built-in cabinets, fireplace, balcony, handmade curved desk, separate secretary area, and a half bath and it boasts breathtaking views. The office could be converted to a bedroom, if desired. There is a private AV system set up in the media room when needed for virtual or in-person presentations.

Additionally, there are five graciously appointed en-suite guest bedrooms and a caretaker's wing with a one bedrooms for staff. In total, this home boasts 7 comfortable bedrooms.

A full-size gym with nearly every desired machine sits on the lower level of the home. The gym has an abundance of TVs and a state-of-the-art sound system. Equipment includes a flat bench, hand weights, lat pulldown, cross pull, and multiple leg weight machines, various benches, a Lifecycle, Stairmaster, treadmill, NordicTrac, and rowing machine. Just down the hall from the gym is a Sauna.

A truly astonishing feature of this home is the ability to accommodate 13 cars within the heated garage, and 12 more vehicles in the snow melted courtyard. This uniquely separates it from any other Red Mountain home.

Red Mountain is still the most exclusive address in Aspen because of the all-day sun and the unlimited views. The Peak House if one of the most special estates that Aspen has to offer.
