Areas · Woody Creek
Woody Creek real estate.
Rural, unincorporated and close to Aspen: larger parcels along the Roaring Fork, without the town's density.
The area
Woody Creek lies down-valley from Aspen in unincorporated Pitkin County, along the Roaring Fork River and the Rio Grande Trail. Property here leans toward homes on larger parcels, horse property and ranches.
What buyers should know
Because Woody Creek is outside town limits, Aspen's transfer taxes do not apply. Rural parcels often run on wells and septic systems, so water rights, well output and septic condition deserve the same attention as the house. Short-term rental rules are set by Pitkin County, not the City of Aspen.
