Scott Bayens Properties Experienced real estate expert specializing in residential, commercial, and investment properties in Aspen, Snowmass Village, and the Roaring Fork Valley.

Top 1% nationwide, here to help you navigate Aspen’s unique market. Let’s find your Scott was destined to be a part of the “Aspen Story”. Born in northern California, raised and educated in Texas, Scott was introduced to the area in the early 70’s by his grandparents who had a home in Snowmass Village. As a result and thanks to his outdoorsy parents, he was an avid skier, hiker and camper from a young age! He began his professional career in the mid 90’s as a television news producer, reporter and anchor for ABC, NBC and FOX affiliates in Colorado, Alabama, North Carolina and Washington State. Yearning for more permanent, healthful and inspirational surroundings, Scott realized a life-long dream of living and working in the mountains by moving to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2002. As news director for KSNO-FM he covered the devastating Coal Seam fire in Glenwood Springs that summer. Later he represented the local business community at the Aspen Chamber Resort Association specializing in sales and marketing. Capitalizing on his strong interpersonal and organizational skills, Scott earned his real estate license in 2005, quickly becoming a respected broker and top producer. Recognized by RealTrends as one of America’s Best and ranked top 1% in the nation among his peers, Scott's clients return to him time and again for his valuable information and advice, tough, creative negotiation, and simply, consistently getting the job done. Scott is an expert in residential, commercial and investment opportunities in Aspen and the greater Roaring Fork Valley. He’s considered a local authority on Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) and writes a monthly real estate column for the Aspen Times called Deeded Interest. Scott is an Aspen Elk (BPOE #224) and a proud Eagle Scout. He is a former Board member of Blue Lake Preschool, is a former vice-chair of the Aspen Board of Realtors, has served as Realtor liaison to the Roaring Fork Conservancy, was one of the original members of Aspen Young Professionals Association, and has served two local HOAs as President. Scott has always been interested in the area’s rich history and loves helping his clients discover all the rewards of living, working and playing here in the heart of the Rockies! He considers himself lucky to have met his wife McLean, a Nurse Practitioner and owner of The Local’s Lab. Together they are parents to their beautiful son Bridger and two rescue dogs.

Now for sale in Old Snowmass, Colorado | Comment “Ranch” for more info.

This ranch is built for every season, and this winter could be your first one here: skating on your own frozen pond, warming up in the pond-side cabin, then an evening by the two-sided stone fireplace with Mount Sopris filling the windows.

Capitol Creek Road ends at a private gate. Behind it are 151 acres that border hundreds of acres of protected public land.

In winter, the ponds become rinks for skating, curling, and hockey, and the trails are good for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. In summer, the same trails connect to the White River National Forest. East Sopris Creek runs through the property, which also comes with senior water rights.

The 6,917-square-foot main residence has six bedroom suites, a chef’s kitchen, a bar, a gym, and a main-level primary suite. The 5,200-square-foot barn has four horse stalls and an unfinished loft with room to expand. The ranch runs on its own solar, battery, and generator power, and it’s offered fully furnished, so everything is in place for the snow to arrive.

Sold in Meredith, Colorado for $1,750,000.⁠
⁠
This ranch never hit the market. I brought the buyer and the seller together privately and worked both sides of the deal from start to finish.⁠
⁠
Up the Fryingpan, properties like this change hands quietly. Often the right buyer is already out there, and it comes down to knowing who they are.⁠
⁠
If you’re thinking about buying or selling in the Roaring Fork Valley, send me a message. Some of the best opportunities never make it to a listing.

Buying ranch land in Pitkin County is part real estate and part land-use law. Before you make an offer, you need to understand the property’s entitlements, approvals, TDRs (transferable development rights), FAR (floor area ratio) and how much square footage you can actually build. Those numbers decide what the land is worth to you.⁠
⁠
A ranch adds more layers. Water rights, easements, special use permits and agricultural status can each change a property’s value, its tax picture and what you can do with it for years.⁠
⁠
Does that sound like jargon? Well good news for you, I walk buyers through all of it before they commit, so there are no surprises after closing.⁠
⁠
If you’re looking at ranch property in the Roaring Fork Valley, send me a DM and let’s talk through it.

The barn at Turnabout Ranch was the center of the old cattle operation, and it’s still standing. Inside is an indoor riding arena where people from across Pitkin County used to come to watch the shows. Today, it houses ranch employees.⁠
⁠
Across 450 acres outside Carbondale, it comes with senior water rights, active hay production, and approved entitlements for a 40,000 sq ft equestrian center and three more home sites.⁠
⁠
The history is here. What comes next is up to the new owner.⁠
