In a town where updated land-use regulations have made large-scale construction increasingly difficult to approve, a newly completed estate inside Aspen’s exclusive Starwood community is offering something buyers may not see again anytime soon.
Listed for $75 million with Sotheby’s International Realty’s Chris Klug, the home on Carroll Drive spans nearly 15,000 square feet, making it the largest new construction residence in Aspen. Recent changes to local development rules have placed stricter limits on residential scale and future redevelopment, making projects of this size far harder to build today. After more than five years of planning, approvals, and construction, the contemporary mountain compound is now move-in ready.

The property sits within Starwood, one of Aspen’s only gated residential communities. The neighborhood also carries a piece of Aspen history. Singer-songwriter John Denver once owned a home and recording studio there, helping establish the enclave as a discreet retreat for high-profile residents. He also supported the community’s early security infrastructure, a legacy that still defines Starwood’s guarded, low-profile atmosphere today. Set behind a 24-hour gatehouse and surrounded by trails and protected wilderness, the neighborhood feels secluded while remaining just minutes from the slopes, restaurants, and galleries that shape Aspen life.
Designed by Ken Adler of KA DesignWorks and built by Janckila Construction for developer Whitecap Designs, the home pairs contemporary architecture with sweeping alpine scenery. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames views stretching from Ajax to Mount Sopris, while a seamless indoor-outdoor layout makes the residence equally suited to summer evenings and peak ski season.

Outdoor living plays a central role. Nearly 5,000 square feet of heated terraces and snow-melted walkways surround a full-length heated pool and spa, fire pits, al fresco dining areas, and a cabana lounge with a fireplace and television. A sports lawn and tranquil Zen pond add quieter moments to the resort-like setting.
The interiors, brought to life by Chris Powell of Studio 133, have a chic, minimalist feel. Wellness and entertaining take equal priority. A dedicated spa includes a massage room, steam room, infrared sauna, cold plunge, and gym, while social spaces feature a private theater, game room, walk-behind bar, and an 800-bottle wine room designed for après-ski gatherings.
The main-level primary suite functions as a private retreat, complete with dual walk-in closets, an office, a wet bar, and a 1,700-square-foot terrace oriented toward uninterrupted mountain views. Four additional guest suites occupy the lower level, and a separate two-bedroom guest residence provides flexibility for extended stays or staff. With land-use regulations limiting future large-scale construction, homes of this size are expected to become increasingly scarce across Aspen.
