Basalt Home Loans & Mortgage Services

Basalt is the Roaring Fork Valley's quintessential river town. Sitting at the confluence of the Frying Pan and Roaring Fork rivers — both Gold Medal trout streams — it's a fly fisher's paradise with world-class angling literally steps from downtown. The town has undergone a thoughtful renaissance in recent years, with a revitalized downtown featuring excellent restaurants, local boutiques, and a vibrant community gathering space at Lions Park. Willits Town Center, Basalt's mixed-use development, adds contemporary shopping and dining options. The town's mid-valley location puts Aspen's four ski mountains 18 miles upvalley, while Sunlight Mountain near Glenwood Springs is 25 miles downvalley. Arbaney Kittle Trail and the Crown offer exceptional hiking and mountain biking directly from town. Basalt has attracted a community of outdoor professionals, creative entrepreneurs, and families seeking a balanced mountain lifestyle away from the intensity of Aspen proper.
