Moonshot Ranch, a 10-acre equestrian estate with Elk Mountain Range views located minutes from downtown Aspen, will sell at auction via Concierge Auctions.
Considered a “a once-in-a-lifetime” property, Moonshot Ranch is a 9,273 square foot residence. Featuring eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a 2,500-square-foot eight-stall barn, and surrounded by over 200 acres of common irrigated land, this property offers “unparalleled” luxurious Aspen living.
Listed in cooperation with leading agent Steven Shane of Compass, bidding is scheduled to open Sept. 10 and will culminate live overseas on Sept. 18 as part of Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions’ annual Hong Kong Global Sale.
“Moonshot Ranch is one of the most pristine equestrian properties we’ve had the privilege to bring to market in Aspen, one of the most desirable areas in the United States,” said Chad Roffers, CEO and co-founder of Concierge Auctions, in a press release. “Its unbeatable proximity to the center of Aspen, striking mountain view, and unmatched equestrian infrastructure make it an extraordinary opportunity for buyers on a global scale who value privacy, scale, and access to world-class recreation.”
Surrounded by over 200 acres of common irrigated land, Moonshot Ranch offers a peaceful retreat or space for grand-scale entertaining.
Equestrian amenities also abound with a tack room and wash area, fenced pastures, and a professional riding arena to accommodate all riding disciplines. The surrounding irrigated meadows and direct access to open fields offer endless opportunities for trail riding, training, and exploration. A three-car garage and ample storage space round out the estate’s functional offerings.
“Aspen is one of the world’s most desirable destinations, and Moonshot Ranch captures the very essence of why people choose to buy and live here,” Shane added. “It’s nearly impossible in Aspen to find a property that offers this much space, privacy, and authenticity — all within minutes of downtown. It’s a perfect home for a buyer who values Rocky Mountain ranch life at the most elevated scale.”
