What was once wide-open ranchland on a high plateau west of Aspen has evolved into one of the most prestigious residential areas in the Roaring Fork Valley. McClain Flats is known for its expansive, big-sky setting, offering sweeping views across the Elk Mountain Range that stretch as far as the eye can see. Large acreage properties, many with open pastures and rolling terrain, have retained the area’s original bucolic character. Horses grazing across McClain Flats remain a common and defining sight.
McClain Flats real estate appeals to buyers seeking privacy, land, and panoramic mountain views while remaining conveniently close to Aspen, Basalt, and Willits. The area offers a rare balance of countryside living and accessibility to the valley’s amenities.
Located just north of McClain Flats is Starwood, Aspen’s only gated residential enclave. Starwood features some of the largest and most exclusive luxury estates in the region, set on lush properties with elevated, top-of-the-world views. Together, McClain Flats and Starwood represent two of the most sought-after options for estate-style living in the Aspen area, each offering privacy, scale, and a true Rocky Mountain lifestyle.
