Legendary Director Bob Rafelson’s Awe-Inspiring Aspen Estate Hits the Market for $23M

For a buyer who loves the slopes—and appreciates classic films—we’ve found a picture-perfect property. 

The Aspen, CO, home of late director Bob Rafelson is on the market for $23 million. The four-bedroom, four-bath home sits on nearly 2 breathtaking acres adjacent to the White River National Forest. 

Built in 1966, the 4,600-square-foot residence offers stunning views as far as the eye can see.

Rustic details

This bright red house is easy to spot amid the towering aspen trees. A shrub-lined, brick walkway leads to a thoughtfully designed, wooden front door. 

The main level’s open layout features multiple sitting areas and a kitchen, with space for a dining table and chairs.

A large living room features a wall of windows, a tiled fireplace, and sliding-glass doors beside a large balcony. Beamed ceilings offer a rustic touch, and the pot lights are an excellent detail. 

An all-wooden kitchen features a double oven, center island with seating, and a sloped ceiling. 

A formal lounge area and media room, with shelving and tiled floors, is a particularly inviting space. 

There are four spacious bedrooms upstairs, one of which has a private bath that includes a windowed soaking tub with warm-wood details.

Another bedroom offers floor-to-ceiling windows. 

Winter wonderland

The home is surrounded by tree-lined trails, a peaceful creek, and rolling hills. There’s also a three-car garage and a storage shed. 

Just minutes from downtown Aspen, this gorgeous retreat could be enjoyed as is or easily expanded to create a Colorado mountain compound.

Rafelson was an Academy Award-nominated director, producer, and writer best known for his work on “Five Easy Pieces” and “The Postman Always Rings Twice.” He died in 2022 at the age of 89.
