Crystalline

Crystalline: Colorado

Vaulted ceilings, whitewashed walls, and impossibly sleek design elements make this home a luxurious base from which to explore all that Aspen has to offer. Walk through the quaint village or drive for a few minutes, and you'll be at the resort and ski lifts. But, of course, there’s a reason everything in the home is so chic and pristine – all the modern features were handpicked by a designer. With an outdoor hot tub, expansive terrace, en-suite bathrooms complete with rain showers, and heated floors – the lodge has everything you could need after a non-stop day on the mountain. In addition, the home is next to challenging cross-country skiing tracks that crisscross the Snowmass Club. Once the weather warms up, these turn into fabulous hiking trails through the luscious green countryside and a challenging links course. Still, if that sounds a bit sedate, you can always paraglide above the mountains, paddleboard down the rapids of the lower Roaring Fork, or throw yourself down almost 3,000 vertical feet of purpose-built trails at Snowmass Bike Park.
