Awe-Inspiring $58.5M Colorado Estate Redefines Modern Mountain Living
Set along the shimmering banks of the Roaring Fork River, 1310 Red Butte Dr is redefining riverfront living in Aspen. Recently listed for $58,500,000, this architectural triumph fuses steel-and-concrete engineering with natural Colorado surroundings. Delivered in 2017 through the collaborative vision of Zone 4 Architects, Koru Builders, and the original owners, the home is not just a residence—it is a living, breathing work of art.
Positioned on approximately 0.78 acres with 100 feet of private river frontage, the estate—known as The Kiva House—offers 9,737 square feet of refined interior living. It is the rare Colorado home that manages to feel both profoundly intimate and visually grand, marrying contemporary design with the peace of a secluded riverside sanctuary.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Design with Artistic Detail
A defining characteristic of 1310 Red Butte Dr is its seamless integration with the outdoors. Walls of glass soaring from 9 to 22 feet bathe the interiors in natural light while offering panoramic views of the Roaring Fork. The river doesn’t just frame the view—it becomes part of the soul of the home. The polished concrete floors, walnut millwork, and smooth plaster walls serve as gallery-like backdrops for curated art, enhanced by integrated display channels throughout the home.
“This property is all about flow—between spaces, between textures, and most importantly, between nature and architecture,” says listing agent Chris Souki of Compass Aspen. “It’s a masterclass in modern mountain design.”
Outside, a dramatic bridge of cedar wood, concrete, and steel leads to a semi-private island surrounded by mature pines. Here, one experiences the rare sensation of being worlds away while still just 10 minutes from Aspen’s cosmopolitan core.

Every Amenity for Elevated Living
The home’s five en-suite bedrooms offer complete privacy, complemented by two offices, a home gym, an expansive game room, and a hidden butler’s kitchen. The primary suite captures river views and incorporates spa-level finishes, while the lower level opens directly to the landscape, allowing for an organic connection to the outdoors.
“The owners spared no detail,” says Souki. “From the radiant heat system to the custom stainless steel hot tub, every inch of the home reflects enduring craftsmanship and luxury.”
In terms of infrastructure, the home is built for performance and resilience, featuring a solar-enhanced heating system, central air, a two-car garage with EV charging, and a secure, fenced perimeter. With a zoning designation for residential use, it also includes a greenhouse and advanced security system—all discretely incorporated to preserve aesthetic harmony.

A Rare Investment in the Heart of Aspen Real Estate
Offered at $6,008 per square foot, 1310 Red Butte Dr is positioned as one of the most significant listings in today’s Aspen Real Estate market. The home was previously sold in 2014 for $4.375 million before undergoing a complete transformation into what it is today—a modern icon along the Roaring Fork.
“Buyers in this segment aren’t just looking for space. They’re looking for an emotional connection, and this home delivers that in a truly spectacular way,” says Souki.
Aspen remains one of the most coveted luxury enclaves in Colorado Real Estate, known for its world-class skiing, arts culture, and privacy. What makes The Kiva House stand apart, however, is how it reimagines riverside living—not as a novelty, but as a lifestyle of permanence, peace, and prestige.
With its enduring materials, iconic design, and unmatched setting, 1310 Red Butte Dr is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. It’s not just an estate—it’s a statement.
