For motorsport enthusiasts and investors alike, the opportunity to own a piece of racing history has emerged in the Roaring Fork Valley. The Aspen Motorsports Park, located in Woody Creek, Colorado, is currently listed for sale at $23 million. This 45-acre property offers a rare combination of racing facilities, development potential, and proximity to Aspen's luxury amenities.
Opened in 1963, Aspen Motorsports Park has been a staple for racing in the region. The facility boasts:
1-mile, 8-turn paved road course: Designed for high-performance vehicles, offering a challenging layout for drivers.
¾-mile dirt oval track: Catering to a variety of motorsport disciplines.
Go-kart track: Providing a space for karting enthusiasts and training.
These tracks have hosted numerous events, including public driving experiences, winter driving courses, and sports car club gatherings. The park's elevation at nearly 8,000 feet adds a unique challenge, as reduced air density affects engine performance, providing a distinctive racing experience.
Beyond its use as a motorsports facility, the property holds significant development potential. Zoned RS-20, the land permits:
A single-family residence up to 5,750 square feet by right.
An expanded residence up to 9,250 square feet with the addition of Transferable Development Rights (TDRs).
This flexibility allows for the creation of a private motorsport haven or a luxurious mountain retreat, all within a short drive from downtown Aspen and the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport.
Situated just four miles from the Aspen Airport, the property offers easy access while maintaining the privacy and serenity of the Woody Creek area. The panoramic views of the Elk Mountain Range provide a stunning backdrop, enhancing the appeal for both recreational and residential development.
In recent years, racetracks across the country have faced challenges, with some undergoing significant renovations or changes in ownership. For instance, the historic Willow Springs International Raceway in California was recently acquired for $2.2 million and is undergoing extensive renovations to preserve its legacy and serve the motorsports community. Similarly, the Greenville-Pickens Speedway in South Carolina was listed for sale as an industrial park, highlighting the evolving landscape of motorsport venues.
