For over a century, Aspen Leaf has been a treasured part of our clients’ family heritage, passed down through five generations. Nestled in Alta, Wyoming, The Cabin at Aspen Leaf is more than a home—it’s the realization of a century-old legacy and a twenty-year dream. Designed to endure, it seamlessly integrates into the hillside, honoring the land that has been in the family for over 100 years. The house totals 5,752 square feet, and is 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath sitting upon 70 acres. Thoughtfully sited to blend with the landscape, the home offers breathtaking views of the elk migration path, the sweeping hill basin, and the Teton range.
Our designers created a retreat that respects tradition while embracing modern mountain living. Architectural details—kerfed windows, reclaimed timber, and strategic siting—ensure the home is not just on the land but of the land. Inside, panoramic views frame the changing seasons, fostering a deep connection to nature.
