Now a five-bedroom, five-bath home situated on five acres overlooking Mount Sopris and Independence Pass, Denver’s former music studio was built in 1975, 22 years before his death in an aviation accident in California.
The Starwood neighborhood, a private, gated community just north of Aspen city limits, was the subject of Denver’s song “Starwood in Aspen,” a tribute to the musician’s own “Rocky Mountain paradise.”
The home at 580 Johnson Drive is 2,912 square feet with the potential for expansion, according to the Christie’s International Real Estate listing. The home’s new owners will also have access to Starwood’s private tennis courts, cross-country ski trails, horse pastures, meadows, hiking trails and more.
