About This Home
Welcome to QTR Ranch - a 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. This legacy ranch offers the perfect balance of refined mountain living, natural beauty and unmatched privacy. The centerpiece is a stunning six-bedroom residence designed for comfort and entertaining. Equestrian facilities include an eight-stall barn, a spectacular riding ring, and ample pastureland. A two-acre pond and significant water rights further enhance the property's unique appeal. Adding to its rarity, the ranch encompasses two separately deeded lots with vested rights to build an additional 5,750-square-foot home—creating the opportunity for a true family compound or generational retreat.
The grand log home is the quintessential classic mountain estate designed with soaring cathedral ceilings centered on the dramatic mountain views framing the lush pastures in the foreground. It features six bedrooms and seven baths, including a main-floor primary suite with direct outdoor access and stunning views. The layout is thoughtfully designed with the entire main-level living, kitchen and dining spaces opening to a gracious large terrace, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. An elegant bar room, private office, wood-burning stone fireplace and four additional en-suite guest bedrooms, plus a bunk room with its own bath, offer space for both entertaining and retreat. A heated and finished two-car garage provides convenience and comfort, plus a brand new DaVinci roof and 7 seat hot tub installed in June 2025.
At the heart of the ranch's equestrian infrastructure is a 3,080 square foot, eight-stall barn built in 2007, accompanied by a beautiful riding arena and fenced pastures. The property is also home to an expansive flat lawn leading to a grand, aerated pond with a sand beach perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking or just relaxing by the water. A charming gazebo at the top of the property offers 360 degree views from Snowmass Mountain to the Old Snowmass Monastery and beyond, creating an unmatched setting for sunset views. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the estate includes multiple outdoor living and dining spaces, adjudicated water rights, a private well, and an intricate irrigation system that nourishes lush landscaping and produces fresh hay each summer.
Comprising two legal parcel, one of which allows for the construction of a 5,750 square foot additional residence, the estate offers both flexibility and long-term potential for a family compound. Located just minutes from the Snowmass Lakes Trailhead and the Campground Ski Lift at Snowmass Mountain and a 35 minute drive to Aspen and Snowmass Village, QTR Ranch perfectly balances privacy with access to world-class recreation.
Whether horseback riding through your private pastures, paddling across the pond, exploring trails on an ATV or simply taking in the alpine glow from your outdoor terrace, this is a property that celebrates the Colorado lifestyle in all its forms!
