McLain Flats
Some of the best vista properties in Aspen are located in McLain Flats, encompassing panoramas of all of the ski areas and the Elk Mountain Range from Aspen to Sopris. One of Aspen's most prestigious residential areas, the private neighborhood situated halfway between Aspen and Woody Creek boasts all-day sun and valley-wide views. The town of Woody Creek is just minutes away with the famous Woody Creek Tavern, art gallery and post office.
The area is instilled with ranching history, artistic legacy and rural charm. Conserved open lands and magnificent views with native oak, aspens and evergreens reside over a dramatic and ever-changing landscape of meadow, mountain, water, and sky. The closest neighbors are a resident herd of 200 elk which can be seen grazing in the meadows in the morning.
