Areas · Basalt
Basalt real estate.
A river town mid-valley, where the Fryingpan meets the Roaring Fork, with a walkable old town and the newer Willits neighborhood.
The town
Basalt sits at the confluence of the Fryingpan and Roaring Fork rivers, both known for Gold Medal trout fishing. The town straddles the Pitkin and Eagle county line and includes the historic old town and the Willits neighborhood, with El Jebel just down the highway.
What buyers should know
Basalt offers more year-round community and generally more space for the money than upper-valley towns, while staying within easy reach of Aspen and Snowmass. Aspen's transfer taxes do not apply here. Which county a property is in affects taxes and services, so confirm it early.
