1742 Red Mountain Ranch Road Crested Butte, CO 81224

Welcome to a truly breathtaking 35-acre parcel in the exclusive and gated Red Mountain Ranch Community. Situated above the valley floor, this building site provides million-dollar, 180-degree views of Crested Butte Mountain, Paradise Divide, the Elk Mountain Range and even Teocalli, all the while being less than 10 minutes to downtown Crested Butte and the ski resort. Beautiful mix of mature aspens & pines allow for unique texture & color with the ever-changing seasons. The original Red Mountain Ranch developer (architect) made sure that no house would be in view of one another or from the main road, yet the feel of community is evident with abundant private hiking trails and national forest access to be enjoyed solely by homeowners. The level, 3-acre building envelope (larger than most) is surrounded by mature aspens, tall pines, as well as mountain wildflowers and allows a homeowner to build a main home, (and a guest home and barn, with county approval). The tremendous views are awe-inspiring where a person can achieve a feeling of balance, tranquility and privacy. Included with this property are plans for a 5,300 sq foot custom log home designed specifically for this property. This lot is uniquely located on a natural wildlife corridor where you would see and hear the elk bugling in the fall and it would not be unusual to see wildlife on a daily basis, especially during the spring and fall months. Easy access to and from Crested Butte as this homesite is located lower down on the development.
