CRESTED BUTTE, CO 81224

Rarely does a property like this become available. At a secluded end-of-the-road location in one of the Crested Butte’s most desirable ranch communities, sits this enchanting mountain retreat bordering a quarter mile of Gunnison National Forest and overlooking one of the area’s most active wildlife corridors in the valley below. Currently used as a year-round family home, the “Happy Homestead” makes for a perfect seasonal gathering spot for friends and family since it is less than 15 minutes to the action in downtown Crested Butte and 25 minutes to either Crested Butte Mountain Ski Resort on the north end of the valley or the regional airport in Gunnison on the south end. You will be mesmerized with an overwhelming sense of natural peace and perspective from the endless views down valley, curled up in the warmth of a cozy blanket in front of one of two fireplaces. Enjoy morning walks through your private aspen forest surrounded by tranquil wildflower and grass meadows. A pond in the forest below the home adds a unique symphony of wildlife throughout your summer evenings. The European stone farmhouse style embodied throughout this property compliments its nestled-in footprint and makes it seem more like a hillside sanctuary than a residence. Relax on the screened front porch and watch the hummingbirds dance among the wildflowers, or grab a glass of wine and pull up a chair on the back deck to watch a local hawk hover in the breeze, watching for movement in the meadow below. The family living area, with an open kitchen, cozy fireside sitting area, primary bedroom with en suite bath, and the coolest two-story bedroom you’ve ever seen, provides a private space for families to be families. This area is situated above the heated, three-car garage and workshop, features custom cabinetry, workbench, and slat wall, perfect for all the mountain toys. On the opposite side of the home there is a unique flex area that, depending on the need of the moment, easily converts from the perfect theater room, to a peaceful away room, to an attractive office/Zoom room, to a welcoming reception/drawing room, to a private guest bedroom with en suite (for those visitors who stay a little longer.) If gentle breezes sweeping tall grasses, everlasting sunsets among summer clouds, and a canopy of countless stars are among your most cherished memories, this homestead is not to be missed!
