in nice weather when you can open the doors completely on both ends for an indoor-outdoor space.” The property, listed for $8.95 mil- lion, includes some buildings with historic landmark designations that have been renovated to meet modern standards, says Chris Flynn, a broker with The Agency in Aspen. For example, the “Roadhouse,” built in 1889, serves as the main residence for the compound. The renovated 2,000-square-foot house includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a remodeled kitchen with a La Cornue range, soapstone counters, and a tile backsplash. “The Roadhouse was neglected and damaged, with a roof that was caving in, but when the previous owners restored it, they installed radiant heat in the ceiling and added new bathrooms,” Bullawrd says. “Before that, it was just heated with a fireplace.” The Homestead Cabin, built in 1876, is a 677-square-foot remodeled cabin with a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen and a dining area, and a living room.

There’s also a deck across the entire roof with a 360-degree view, a pool, a hot tub, and an outdoor kitchen.” The lower level has a game room, a golf simulator, and a sunken patio. REVERING AND REVITALIZING A HISTORIC RANCH One mile from the town of Basalt and 30 minutes from Aspen, the historic West Ranch is a 125-acre cattle ranch near the Rio Grande Trail and the Roaring Fork River, says Lauren Bullard, an associate broker with the Agency in Aspen. “The ranch was started by a home- steading family in the late 1800s, and the current owners continue to oper- ate the ranch,” Bullard says. “Over the years, various buildings have been converted for modern uses.” The “Hangar,” formerly an arched agricultural building with doors at each end, was used for equipment storage. “The Hangar was converted to a lounge, a conference room, and a coworking and entertaining space,” Bullard says. “It includes a game space, a pool table, and a bar and a lounge with a wood-burning fireplace.
