Located between Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte, this 2.47-acre homesite is situated in the Saddle Ridge Ranch Estates community. The property offers 360° views of the surrounding peaks. Perched on a hillside at the end of a cul-de-sac, the elevated lot borders 70 acres of privately owned open space maintained by the homeowners' association. It provides views of downtown Crested Butte and the Slate River. The groundwork has been prepared for a Rocky Mountain home, with county and fire district approval secured for the driveway and architectural design approval from the homeowners' association. Residents have access to a fully equipped barn with a tack room, indoor stalls, and pasture. The location provides access to hiking, biking, and the Recreation Path connecting the two towns. The Lupine Trail, offering access to hiking and biking routes, is nearby. Architectural plans designed by Arch 11, recently honored as Colorado's Architecture Firm of the Year in 2024, are available. The house form is designed to integrate with the natural contours of the site, featuring large roof overhangs for protection against winter snowfall. The home is strategically aligned with the peak of Mt. Crested Butte, creating a focal point from the main living spaces. The kitchen and all bedrooms offer views south to Whetstone Mountain and the town. Native stone is incorporated on the façade to anchor the building to the ground.
