John Denver‘s former estate in Colorado is up for sale, and pictures show a spectacular property in a pristine setting.
The late country and pop superstar’s former recording studio and guest house were originally part of his estate in the exclusive Starwood community in Aspen, Colo., which Denver immortalized as “my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise” in his song, “Starwood in Aspen.”
Denver’s main residence has been on and off the market over the years since his death in a plane crash in 1997. His former recording studio and guest house have been renovated and updated into a primary residence that sits on five breathtaking acres of prime real estate in Aspen, with sweeping views of the mountains and the valley.
The spectacular 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 2,912-square-foot home features exposed beams, high ceilings and hardwood floors throughout. The main living area centers around an open floor plan in which the great room, kitchen and dining areas all open onto each other, with oversized windows affording plenty of natural light and soaring mountain views.
The stunning estate also offers multiple outdoor sitting and dining areas, as well as a hot tub.
Starwood’s top-flight amenities include private tennis courts, ski trails, horse pastures, hiking trails, 24-hour security and more. The upscale private community is located just 15 minutes away from downtown Aspen.
