HOW TO BUY A SUMMER HOME IN ASPEN & SNOWMASS
The Rocky Mountains are among the most coveted destinations for luxury buyers—offering crisp alpine air, sweeping views, and a vibrant summer lifestyle. From Aspen’s world-class culture to Snowmass’ serene beauty, buying a mountain retreat calls for a refined approach.
This checklist highlights the essentials so your investment fits your lifestyle today and retains value for the future.
Do you imagine quiet mornings on the deck with panoramic views—or lively evenings filled with festivals and friends? Your vision shapes where and what you buy. Consider:
Proximity vs. Privacy: Walkable town access or secluded escape?
Family-Friendly Neighborhoods: Trails, parks, and social hubs.
Walkability: Dining, boutiques, and events within reach.
Outdoor Entertaining: Decks, fire pits, and al fresco spaces.
High-altitude living blends beauty with function. Look for:
Expansive decks, gardens, and fire pits
Flexible floor plans and guest quarters
Climate comfort (A/C or cross-ventilation)
Storage: mudrooms, gear space, and garages
Some scenic homes sit on seasonal roads. Ensure your retreat is accessible when you need it.
Pro Tip: Year-round access boosts rental potential and guest satisfaction.
Policies vary—Aspen has stricter short-term rental rules, while Snowmass is more flexible. Research:
Local regulations
HOA guidelines
