257 Mountain Laurel Drive in Aspen, Colorado

AHEAD OF IT’S TIME – MODERN MOUNTAIN LUXURY     

The property was once home to John Sommers, song writer and band member for John Denver, well-known for his song “Thank God I’m a Country Boy”. Joe     Gebbia, founder of Airbnb, selected this home for the photoshoot that accompanied his interview in the March 2024 edition of Inc. Magazine.

 The original two-story home was built on a sloped lot. The home was razed during construction in 2014 only preserving on the lower level some        exterior foundations, retaining walls, and some bare bones. The new construction included a lower level, main level, as well as an upper level with the garage at grade.  In 2019 a guest suite was added to the layout and in 2020 a major interior remodel including new interior finishes.  The home features cutting edge amenities such as Steam Shower, Sauna, Outdoor Hot Tub, indoor 4-person Jacuzzi tub, Fireplace, Home Gym, Sonos System, and a Chefs Kitchen with Wolf Appliances.  The house also has Full A/C, with humidity, air cleaner and radiant floor heating,

Private back and side yards, master deck and large main deck, with a wonderfully landscaped front yard with guest parking at road.  The home is conveniently located close to North Star Preserve, with close proximity to East Aspen Trail and the Roaring Fork River…enjoy daily doses of Colorado wildlife in your yard.
