The larger structure had three bedrooms. The guest house and garage, once Denver\u2019s studio, had two. In his 1971 song \u2018Starwood in Aspen\u2019, Denver described the neighbourhood, and the address, of course, carried the weight of his name. Starwood is one of the only gated communities in Aspen, and Denver funded its 24\/7 security in the beginning, according to Bory.<!-- --> The property came with private tennis courts, cross-country ski trails, horse pastures and a fire station of its own.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The living space\" msid=\"134654054\" imgsize=\"602909\" resizemode=\"4\" width=\"\" title=\"Pic credit: Aspen\/ Glenwood MLS\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"47529300\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/imgsize-602909,msid-134654054\/the-living-space.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Pic credit: Aspen\/ Glenwood MLS<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Its previous owners had sold the place \u2018as is\u2019 with some deferred maintenance when the house was first listed.
