When Willie Hoevers visited the home that John Denver built outside Aspen, “I could sense that his spirit was there,” he told listeners of his radio show.
Hoevers was with two potential buyers who were shown the estate, located in the exclusive Starwood subdivision, by Aspen broker Carol Dopkin. The property is listed for $10.75 million and has been on the market since the summer.
The asking price is fairly in line with Aspen-area real estate. And, like most people, it’s out of line with Hoevers’ price range.
But he has a vision for its future use, and his inspiration hails from the singer-songwriter who built one of the first homes in Starwood in the early 1970s, at the height of Denver’s fame. Denver was an advocate for world peace, environmental issues and other causes.
“This would be an ideal place for global peace talks,” Hoevers said. “I would call it the Global Retreat for Peace.”
