17 Shady Lane

17 Shady Lane represents a home of architectural significance and a generational riverfront holding in Aspen. Designed by Dean Meredith Architecture, the property was constructed from more than 100,000 individually cut stones, resulting in a residence as visually striking as the landscape that surrounds it. The contemporary mountain design seamlessly marries glass, stone, and natural materials, blending sculpture with landform.

Situated on 2.3 acres along the Roaring Fork River, in one of the most private and desirable locations in Aspen, 17 Shady Lane is a masterpiece. The five-bedroom, seven-bath residence is executed with a focus on scale, livability, and long-term relevance, with materials and craftsmanship selected as much for longevity as for beauty. Indoor and outdoor living unfold seamlessly.

Resort-caliber grounds feature expansive entertaining areas, mature landscaping, more than 500 feet of river frontage, and immediate access to the Rio Grande Trail—creating a property that functions as both a private retreat and a connected Aspen holding.

In a market where buildable riverfront acreage has all but disappeared under modern zoning constraints, this trophy property represents not just an extraordinary place to call home, but a rare and enduring legacy, the kind of irreplaceable asset that discerning buyers hold for generations.
