A distinctive Aspen mountain home with direct ski access and a sculptural architectural profile has come to market for $35 million.
Owned by jewelry designer Jane Berg, founder of the Jane Berg Collection, the property brings together alpine setting, modern design, and a layout built around both privacy and entertaining.
Located within a forested enclave at Aspen Highlands, the residence spans just under 7,000 square feet and sits on a full acre — a combination that’s increasingly rare in this part of Aspen.
The home also offers true ski-in/ski-out access via the Thunderbowl Lane skier underpass, connecting directly to the slopes.
The design reflects Berg’s background in fine jewelry, where form, material, and precision play a central role. Here, those same ideas translate into architecture that feels intentional from every angle, with a layout that responds directly to the surrounding landscape.

True ski-in/ski-out access via Thunderbowl Lane underpass
The home offers direct ski access at Aspen Highlands, with entry through the Thunderbowl Lane skier underpass — a feature that places it firmly in the ski-in/ski-out category.
This setup allows residents to move between the house and the slopes without relying on transportation, a key factor for buyers focused on convenience during peak winter months.
A wedge-shaped design that frames the surrounding landscape
The home’s defining feature is its wedge form, a sculptural design that narrows and expands to direct views outward.
Rather than sitting on the land, the structure appears carved into it, with each angle calibrated to frame the surrounding forest and ridgelines.
The result is a home that feels integrated with its setting rather than imposed on it.
Wood, steel, and glass used to balance warmth and openness
Material choices reinforce that connection to the outdoors.
Natural wood cladding introduces warmth and texture, while steel and glass are used more selectively — opening up the structure in key areas to bring in light and views.
The contrast between these materials gives the home its visual clarity.
A layout designed to balance privacy and openness
The interior layout is organized to create a balance between shared and private spaces.
Open living areas connect to the landscape, while bedrooms and quieter zones are positioned to feel more enclosed. This structure allows the home to function equally well for gatherings or more private stays.
Five bedrooms plus a flexible sixth-bedroom option
The home includes five primary bedrooms, along with a flexible sixth bedroom option that can be adapted based on needs.
Each room is positioned to maintain privacy while still capturing views of the surrounding landscape.
Elevator access across all levels
An elevator connects all levels of the home, providing ease of movement throughout the multi-story layout.
This feature is particularly useful in a mountain setting, where vertical design is often necessary to accommodate terrain.
Designed to function as both retreat and entertaining space
The home is set up to accommodate both quiet use and larger gatherings.
Open living spaces, combined with the outdoor areas, allow it to handle a range of scenarios — from smaller family stays to larger group visits during ski season.
Offered furnished with select exclusions
The property is being offered furnished, with select personal items and artwork excluded.
This allows for a more immediate transition for a buyer while preserving the overall design direction of the home.
An oversized two-car garage with year-round accessibility
The property includes an oversized two-car garage, along with a snowmelt entry and apron driveway.
These details ensure consistent access during winter months, when conditions can otherwise limit usability.
Outdoor entertaining area designed for all seasons
The outdoor space is fully built out for year-round use.
It includes a spa, outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, and two gas fire pits, all arranged within a fenced area that provides both structure and privacy.
A fenced yard uncommon for Aspen mountain homes
Fully fenced outdoor areas are less common in Aspen’s mountain properties, where homes often prioritize open land.
Here, the enclosure adds an additional layer of usability, particularly for gatherings or extended stays.
A rare one-acre setting in Aspen Highlands
The one-acre lot adds another layer of rarity.
In Aspen Highlands, parcels of this size are increasingly difficult to find, particularly when paired with ski-in/ski-out access and modern construction.
A mountain home shaped by design, setting, and access
At $35 million, the property brings together several elements that don’t often align in one offering: direct ski access, a large private lot, and a design that responds closely to its surroundings.
Rather than relying on scale alone, the home stands out through its form and placement — using architecture to frame the landscape and define how the space is experienced throughout the year.
