Fox Crossing: Properties Sold Through Auction After 4-Week Global Marketing Campaign
Two new-construction luxury residences and a premier homesite located in the heart of Aspen have been sold by Concierge Auctions in cooperation with listing agent Raifie Bass of Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty. Interest was so strong that one of the homes sold prior to the scheduled auction date. The buyers were represented by Joshua Saslove of Joshua & Co., who holds affiliations with Christie's International Real Estate, Luxury Portfolio International, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate; Harrison Sachs of Carol Dopkin Real Estate; and Debra Mayer of Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty.

Private Enclave. The Heart of Aspen.
Nestled at the foot of Red Mountain in the heart of Aspen, Colorado, Fox Crossing manages to do the impossible — indulge every luxury while paying homage to the lifestyle that draws international attention to this incredible, idyllic mountain town. Just a 10-minute leisurely stroll from downtown Aspen, the exclusive, high-end private enclave grew under the careful eyes of a development team with two keys in mind — location and investment potential.

Developers knew the discerning Aspen home buyer would want instant access to the sophisticated offerings in world-class food, shopping and entertainment without losing sight of the magnet that pulled them to Aspen in the first place - the array of outdoor recreational opportunities that abound in the mountains just beyond the gate. But access shouldn’t have to mean giving up the best of private neighborhood living. Developers took on the daunting task of purchasing multiple adjacent lots — nearly impossible in the red-hot Aspen market — at the base of Red Mountain.

Fox Crossing features 20 distinct homes designed with a unified architectural look in Aspen’s East End. Situated around a private internal park, each home features the trademark Charles Cunniffe style: dry stacked stone and timber with stucco exteriors and custom interiors that provide unobstructed views of Aspen Mountain. Artful landscaping throughout the development, including the Fox Meadows Park, creates a unique sense of privacy.

For Fox Crossing residents, the best of Aspen’s life and style merge seamlessly in this prime location. Ideal and idyllic? We think so. It’s your life. You just have to decide your style.

About The Residences.
Masterpiece. That’s the one word to describe the elegant ruggedness world-renowned architect Charles Cunniffe brings to each Fox Crossing home. Custom-designed to maximize the dramatic views that extend from Mount Sopris in the west to Independence Pass in the east, each property is unique yet cohesive with its neighbor.

Stunning interiors echo the angles of the mountains just outside the picture windows, with vaulted ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors and custom, well, everything. Built with the outdoor lifestyle in mind, elegant gathering places throughout the home — including deck spaces off bedrooms and great rooms — include a covered outdoor loggia with a fireplace for summer dining al fresco or cozying up with a good book or a nightcap. From any of the additional 1,000 to 1,400 square feet of outdoor living space, you have the best view in the house.

About 537 Race Alley
Walk into this seven-bedroom residence, and you’re walking into a rare find in Aspen. This three-level home boasts 6.5 baths, four patios and generous living areas just off the development’s central park. Exceptional craftsmanship shows in the gleaming walnut floors, heavy alder doors and vaulted ceilings in each living room. Nothing is packed into this 5,677 square-foot corner townhouse lot — except attention to detail.

Every room on the main and second floors was designed to take advantage of the abundance of natural light and impeccable views of Aspen. Take the elevator or hardwood staircase to the upper level, where you’ll feast your eyes on a gourmet kitchen outfitted to a tee. This open-concept living space allows you to never miss a beat while preparing a feast, with plenty of granite counter space for an eat-in breakfast area. Stainless steel appliances, including a commercial grade hood vent that hovers over a large center island with a cookstove, are top-of-the-line. The most organized chefs will love the abundance of custom cabinetry and hardware. A large, open dining room easily seats ten to twelve guests, while the covered deck just outside beckons during the warm summer months.

Entertaining will be a breeze in this spacious upper living room, which centers around a commanding, floor-to-ceiling natural stone hearth. Each stone was placed with care for its color and shape. Flanked by windows on either side, it’s the ideal place to cozy up with a book, a nightcap, or your favorite person. Recessed lighting in beautiful vaulted wood ceilings adds to the ambiance, while the hearth is framed by picture windows overlooking mountain views and the crisp green outdoors. This room easily will be the heart of the home for entertaining and, with the fireplace roaring, a wonderful place to share more intimate moments with family.

On the main and lower levels, you’ll find private living quarters that meet any guest’s highest standards — spacious rooms, en suite bathrooms and an impressive master guest suite featuring a gas-fueled fireplace, perfect for warming chilly winter evenings.

Perhaps the most care was placed in crafting the stunning master suite on the main level. Recessed lighting and plenty of space to stretch out make this a cozy hideaway. An incredible view from the private master patio combined with the glow from your private fire is perhaps the perfect way to end a day downhill skiing or hiking through fresh powder. Take a steam in your custom en suite steam shower — one of many details in this fully appointed suite — before settling in for the night.

A two-car heated garage, total of four patios and a spacious entertainment room customizable to the owner’s desires — it would make a wonderful game room, theater or fitness room — complete this home.

About Aspen, Colorado

Whether you relax while saluting the sun or feel the rush when fresh powder falls, Aspen is an all-season wonderland for the senses. Tucked along the southwest end of the Roaring Fork Valley, Aspen is surrounded by mountain and wilderness areas on three sides: Red Mountain to the north, Smuggler Mountain to the east, and Aspen Mountain to the south.

But there’s nothing rugged about the town itself, a diamond in the rough that gleams as a tribute to its rich mining history. It now carries on its boomtown reputation as a glitzy playground for the wealthy and famous drawn to its variety of outdoor activities, robust history and art-driven culture. However you get here — by commercial or private plane to the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport just minutes from Fox Crossing or a scenic drive along State Highway 82 — Aspen is where you can find the lifestyle that fits you.

Use Aspen’s more than 300 days of sunshine and mild weather as the backdrop for whooshing downhill on Aspen Mountain, accessible just a few minutes from Fox Crossing, or while sampling fare from world-renowned chefs during the annual Food and Wine Classic. Stroll leisurely along the path from your home to browse high-end boutiques along Galena Street — Aspen Fashion Week is in March — or work up a sweat riding your bike with friends along the Rio Grande Trail in the summer. Avid fishermen will enjoy the superb trout fishing in the Roaring Fork River, which cuts through the White River National Forest, itself ripe for hiking through dense aspen groves. If extreme excitement is more your speed, look forward to the X Games — celebrities come from near and far to watch athletes propel themselves on nature’s playground of snow.

Outdoors or in, Aspen provides the best of arts and culture. Known as a unique culinary cul-de-sac and for its off-the-beaten-track eateries, the city offers award-winning fare unlike any other. During summer, dine al fresco beneath clear alpine skies. In the winter, take the Silver Queen Gondola to the top of Aspen Mountain to soak up the stunning view and delight in an open-air lunch or enjoy shopping and dining in our pedestrian-friendly downtown.

Music and art sit at the heart of Aspen, where performances, lectures and exhibits pack local calendars. You’re just minutes from the award-winning Benedict Music Tent, which combines the openness and romance of a tent with the acoustic integrity of a concert hall. Pack a picnic or nosh on treats you pick up on your short walk to the tent with friends. After all, you never know whom you’ll run into in Aspen.

Festivals throughout the year keep residents and visitors entertained; the Aspen Music Festival honors classical composers, the Aspen Ideas Festival honors innovation, the Food & Wine Classic draws globally inspired cuisine, and multiple music festivals throughout the year at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass — a fantastic outdoor amphitheater that pays homage to the natural beauty that surrounds it.  Ballet, theater, art — selecting what to do in Aspen will take more time than finding your way there.

Whatever your idea of Aspen is, it’s yours for the taking.
