Absolute luxury and serenity on the Roaring Fork River is now available as a monthly or long term rental. The Retreat at Black Birch embraces the elements of water, light and air, and the extraordinary design captures nature and views from every living space. Designed and built via the talent of top local firms Poss Architecture and Schlumberger Construction, with sophisticated interiors curated by Noelle Hernandez, no detail was overlooked in the creation of this special property.

The Retreat enjoys a truly magical setting year-round, with indoor/outdoor components that can be enjoyed throughout every season. The most inspired space, and perhaps the highlight of the main level, is a completely custom and heated ''solarium lounge'' with walls that open on three sides and a gas fireplace, television and convertible sofa bed for the ultimate glamping experience. An open and elegant great room and dining has floor to ceiling glass, all which can be opened to bring in the sounds of the river, an absolute dream for gatherings. The home is also outfitted with a chefs kitchen, coffee bar and a comfortable family room.

Encompassed upstairs are three plush suites, with two primary bedrooms that enjoy steam showers and soaking tubs that sit right over the flowing river, for an unparallel spa-like ambiance , and an oversized sleep space for up to 10 with four trundle beds, creating a cozy getaway for family and friends.

Gorgeous landscaping is an extension of the perfect natural setting, and there is ample lounge seating, dining and room to relax and play along the water's edge. A world away from urban life, all within the city limits of Aspen. A quick bike or shuttle ride to schools, skiing, recreation and all the fun of downtown. A rare offering for the most discerning guests looking to find tranquility and balance in the Aspen lifestyle.
