John Denver: Headquarters of late singer’s environmental foundation for sale
SNOWMASS VILLAGE, Colo. (AP) — The 950-acre property that singer-songwriter John Denver bought in the late 1970s as headquarters for his Windstar Foundation is being sold, a move seen by some environmentalists as the unofficial end to the singer’s vision to protect some of the land west of Aspen from being overrun by developers.
The property in Old Snowmass is under contract to be sold to a private buyer. The conservancy placed the property on the market in September for $13 million. The foundation was dissolved last fall.
A conservation easement still protects about 930 acres under the direction of the Aspen Valley Land Trust and Pitkin County Open Space and Trails. The only activities allowed on that part of the property include wildlife habitat protection and irrigation and agricultural uses, said Martha Cochran, the land trust’s executive director.
The sale is considered by some environmentalists as the unofficial end to Denver’s vision for the Windstar Foundation, a nonprofit organization that was heavily involved in environmental issues.
