Carbondale

Anchored by the awe-inspiring, towering Mount Sopris (12,966’), Carbondale is a charming, artistic community with an authentic air of western heritage located 30 miles down valley from Aspen and 13 miles from Glenwood Springs at the confluence of the Roaring Fork River and Crystal River. Main Street is lined with lively restaurants and locally-owned boutiques, which also plays host to a weekly farmer’s market and annual festivals including Dandelion Day and Mountain Fair. In the surrounding areas, find solace in its outdoor beauty, prime for recreation from fly fishing and rafting to hiking and biking. The Aspen Glen Club, a private country club and residential community, offers 18 holes designed by Jack Nicklaus along with a family-friendly clubhouse with restaurants, tennis courts, fitness center and swimming pool, plus an array of benefits beyond the Club as part of the ClubCorp family. River Valley Ranch is another golf and tennis community in Garfield County situated on the Crystal River with a Jay Morrish-designed golf course at the base of Mt. Sopris with easy access to downtown Carbondale. As a more traditional, full-time city than its ski resort neighbors up valley, Carbondale has a diverse slate of real estate options.
