Waterstone On the market for the first time in 45 years, Waterstone Way is an iconic property in the upper Roaring Fork Valley - an exceptional find in an extraordinary setting. Protected by a dense canopy of trees on a uniquely flat site right on the Roaring Fork River, this five-acre estate includes two custom homes and access to some of the best recreational opportunities in Colorado. Originally owned by Doc Henry, Aspen’s first dentist, the property can only be accessed by a private driveway or via boat from the river. It was purchased in the 1970’s by Nick Coates, a realtor, developer and Aspen local. Coates recognized the unique beauty of living on the river and developed a vision for Waterstone Way to include two homesites, located just steps from the water. These lots are the last to be approved for new development adjacent to the Roaring Fork river in Pitkin County. Never again can a compound of this magnitude exist in such harmony with the surrounding river environment. A compound like no other, Waterstone Way was developed with care and pride to invite tradition and legacy, encourage relaxation, and engender a love of place to last a lifetime. Each home in the Waterstone compound is a world unto itself, a private and luxurious retreat with unobstructed views and access to the Roaring Fork River. Just 10 minutes from the world-class resorts of Aspen and Snowmass, it’s the ultimate luxury legacy property.

HISTORY Aspen, which originally was named Ute City, was erected as a mining town in the mid 1800s, and was renamed in 1880 after the abundance of aspen trees in the area. The first inhabitants of Aspen were a group of headstrong miners who, in 1879, ignored the pleas of Frederick Pitkin, then governor of Colorado, to return across the Continental Divide due to an uprising of the Ute Indians. Silver was discovered soon after Aspen was founded, and by 1891, it was considered the largest silver mining district in the US. What was once a small mountain town of 300 residents had exploded into a busy populous of 12,000 people, six newspapers, two theaters, an opera house, and, an old-west tradition, a small brothel district. Between 1891 and 1893, Aspen was at its peak both in terms of riches and people, but the good times weren’t meant to last. In 1893 the Sherman Silver Act was repealed which demonetized silver, with significant repercussions for the town’s economy. Aspen almost became a ghost town as most of the mines closed, thus putting thousands of people out of work. A few remained open, but wages were cut, and by 1930 only 705 people chose to stay. Ironically, one year after the Sherman act was repealed, one of the largest nuggets of silver ever mined was pulled from the Smuggler mine, weighing in at 2,350 pounds! Following World War II, Aspen had a re-animation when the visionary Chicago industrialist Walter Paepcke arrived. In 1949, Paepcke started the Goethe Bicentennial Convocation, attracting 2,000 musicians and humanitarians to Aspen. In 1946, Paepcke and Friedl Pfeifer, a member of the 10th Mountain Division, started the Aspen Skiing Co., thus transforming the town into what would become an international resort destination. In 1950, Paepcke also started the Aspen Institute, driven by his desire to have a “utopian community for the mind and body.”
