1371 Red Mountain Ranch Upper Loop, Crested Butte, CO 81224

This 36.6-acre parcel is located within the gated Red Mountain Ranch community and includes an already-installed driveway leading to a designated building site. The site is set within a naturally occurring open meadow and is positioned to capture sweeping views of nearby peaks, with quaking aspens and pines surrounding the building envelope. The property also features seasonal streams and live water meandering through the land, along with a setting elevated enough to support long-range scenery.

The rear property line provides direct private access to the National Forest. The community includes miles of private trails for outdoor activities by foot, horseback, snowshoe, or cross-country ski. The parcel is described as being within a short drive of destinations in both directions, including downtown Crested Butte and, to the south, the Gunnison/Crested Butte Airport, Western Colorado University, gold medal fly fishing on the Taylor River, and Blue Mesa Reservoir.

For buyers seeking a land holding designed around a specific building envelope, this property offers a straightforward path from driveway to build site, plus a natural setting shaped by meadow, mature trees, and water features. The National Forest access and trail system provide recurring recreational use directly from the property, while the surrounding area’s mix of skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and regional amenities supports year-round lifestyle planning.
