Geothermally Heated 9-Acre Hot Springs Ranch Near Aspen Hits the Market for $6 Million

Along a quiet stretch of Colorado's Crystal River Valley, between the city of Carbondale and the charming historic village of Redstone, is a property that comes with its very own heat source. 

Hot Springs Ranch, at 14418 Highway 133, came to market earlier this week for $5.95 million.

The gated, nearly 9-acre parcel includes a private half-mile of river frontage, two natural hot springs, a riverside bath house, and a renovated three-bedroom home. It’s represented by Scott Bayens of Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty.

But the springs are more than just a backyard amenity. The house is heated by a geothermal system that draws energy directly from the hot springs, while a third spring supplies the home's water and feeds a cold plunge, according to the listing. The property also comes with extensive water rights.

The 3,445-square-foot residence was first built in 1964, but it has since been reimagined and reworked from top to bottom and is now being marketed as newly built.

The main level is centered around a wood-burning fireplace, a high-end kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding peaks. The primary suite sits just off the main living space and includes a designer bathroom.

Downstairs, two guest bedrooms and a media room connect to a large garage and workshop. The home has three full bathrooms and radiant heat and is being sold fully furnished.

Outside, terraced gardens step down toward the water, where the bath house sits at the river's edge. An elevated deck looks across Filoha Meadows, a protected open space where elk and bighorn sheep often roam at dusk. Red rock cliffs and mountain views surround the property.

The ranch is also set up for practical mountain living. A pull-through driveway accommodates trailers and campers, and there's an RV pad with hookups and a pole barn for larger equipment. The river frontage also offers world-class fly-fishing without leaving home.

The property sits a short distance from Penny Hot Springs, nicknamed the "Hippie Dip"—a public soaking spot on the Crystal River where mineral water emerges at 133 degrees and mingles with the cooler river water to create an idyllic roadside soak.

Redstone, with its historic inn and a picturesque main street dotted with restaurants, galleries, and shops, is just 4 miles away. Aspen is less than an hour's drive.
