The last lots of an Aspen property thatâs been in the Barbee familyâs hands since the 1940s sold this week, which closes the book on both the legacy propertyâs transfer to the next generation of ownership and the direction that real estate sales in the upper valley have taken in 2020.
Lots 1 and 2 in the Barbee Family PUD at 700 and 701 S. Garmisch sold for $12.3 million and their agent was Carrie Wells of Coldwell Banker. The sale closed Dec. 30.
âTheyâve been great stewards of the land,â Wells said of the Barbee family, who were approached for years by myriad parties to sell the rare downtown land but held onto these final pieces until 2020. The original parcel from the 1940s spanned 14 acres and the log building thatâs still standing is said to date back to 1880.

More than 130 central Ohioans with a love of flying have a way to explore the wild blue yonder while standing on the ground.
They are members of the Westerville Model Aeronautics Association in Galena and take to the air with radio-controlled fixed-wing aircraft. It s as close as you can get to flying a real airplane, said WMAA secretary Dave Dumond of Worthington.
WMAA member Mike Barbee of Delaware said the aircraft can range from those with 3-foot to 15-foot wingspans, with speeds ranging from 40 to 200 mph, powered by electric, piston or jet engines.
Although the use of radio-controlled drones – which use four propellers and can hover and take off vertically – has increased in the 21st century, Barbee said, aviation s history and traditions lead WMAA members to favor fixed-wing planes.

COVID-19: Physicians demand compensation for infected members

Physicians across the world have stressed the need for countries to recognise COVID-19 as an occupational disease even as they advocate compensation for physicians, who have died or fallen ill from the pandemic.
Ahead of the two-day United Nations General Assembly special session on the pandemic, President of the World Medical Association, WMA, Dr. David Barbe, said during the past few months physicians had received applause and recognition.
“But what we health professionals now need is a recognition of COVID-19 as an occupational disease with comprehensive coverage of income loss, treatment and rehabilitation costs, and care for the dependents in case of death. Some countries are certainly doing better than others. However, this protection must be provided without gaps. Those who are affected need it without delay”.
