ASPEN, CO (November 13, 2026) – Carrie Wells of Coldwell Banker Mason Morse has successfully closed the $20.5 million sale of 1220 Red Butte Drive in Aspen, representing the seller in the transaction.
Situated along the banks of the Roaring Fork River just 2.5 miles from downtown Aspen, this beautifully remodeled contemporary residence offers an exceptional balance of privacy, natural beauty, and refined mountain living. Set on a sunny 0.56-acre parcel, the 5,872-square-foot home features five ensuite bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and one half-bath. Originally constructed in 1984, the residence underwent a thoughtful renovation by acclaimed Aspen architecture firm Rowland + Broughton in 2021, creating a sophisticated retreat designed to celebrate its remarkable riverside location.
The home’s open-concept interiors are filled with natural light, with a chef’s kitchen, spacious dining area, and inviting great room providing an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. An oversized flex space offers versatility as a media room, private office, or creative retreat. Outdoor living is equally compelling, featuring an expansive riverfront deck and a beautifully landscaped courtyard with a built-in fire feature. Surrounded by mature trees and open space, the property provides a tranquil setting with the Roaring Fork River just beyond the backyard and the Rio Grande Trail only steps away.
“Red Butte is one of Aspen’s most desirable riverfront settings, offering a remarkable sense of tranquility just minutes from downtown,” said Wells. “The thoughtful renovation, generous living spaces, and direct connection to the Roaring Fork River make this property particularly special. This sale reflects the continued demand for exceptional homes that offer both privacy and convenient access to everything Aspen has to offer.”
