Property Description
This extraordinary custom residence by acclaimed Kasia Karska Design redefines mountain living at Buckhorn Ranch, offering a rare combination of architectural excellence, aviation convenience, and exceptional value. With over 9,000 square feet under roof, including a fully finished 3,000 square foot detached hangar and a private guest residence, this property delivers a level of functionality, craftsmanship, and versatility that would be extraordinarily difficult and costly to replicate in today's construction environment. The impressive 4,138 square foot main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with soaring vaulted ceilings, a modern open-concept floor plan, and premium triple-pane windows imported from Poland that perfectly frame panoramic mountain views. The show stopping custom kitchen with an oversized entertaining bar flows seamlessly into the dramatic great room, creating an ideal setting for gathering with family and friends. The main-level primary suite enjoys Mt. Crested Butte views and spa-inspired finishes, while a striking steel, wood, and glass staircase leads to two additional ensuite bedrooms and a second living area on the upper level. Thoughtfully designed exterior materials, including reclaimed wood, natural stone, and traditional Shou-Sugi Ban Japanese siding, blend beautifully into the surrounding landscape, while expansive patios and a custom indoor/outdoor fireplace extend living spaces outdoors. One of the property's most compelling features is the fully finished 3,000 square foot detached hangar with direct private airstrip access. Far more than aircraft storage, this remarkable space offers endless possibilities for collectors, hobbyists, outdoor enthusiasts, and aviation enthusiasts alike. Accommodate aircraft, collector vehicles, RVs, campers, motorcycles, and recreational equipment with ease, or customize the space to include a gym, climbing wall, workshop, studio, entertainment venue, or additional storage. True "fly-in, fly-out" convenience makes this one of the most unique offerings in the region. Adding even greater flexibility, the 930 square foot private guest residence above the attached 3-car garage includes a full kitchen, laundry, 1 bedroom, and a full bath. Perfectly suited as guest accommodations, a caretaker's residence, pilot's quarters, or an income-producing rental, this thoughtfully designed space benefits from no deed restrictions and offers exceptional versatility while remaining seamlessly connected to the main home. Importantly, the home's finished price per square foot reflects only the finished living areas and does not fully account for the tremendous value represented by the detached hangar and attached 3-car garage. Together, these spaces add nearly 4,000 square feet of highly functional infrastructure that would be exceptionally expensive to construct today, creating a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking new construction without the uncertainty, delays, and rising costs associated with building from the ground up. Buyers will appreciate the rare opportunity to step into a newly completed custom property offering the quality, scale, and amenities of a modern build without the time, expense, and complexity required to recreate it today. Located just minutes from Crested Butte, the property provides year-round access to world-class skiing, legendary mountain biking, blue-ribbon fly fishing, and a vibrant arts and culture scene. With commercial air service available through the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport and direct access to Buckhorn's private airstrip, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a turnkey mountain estate offering architectural distinction, aviation convenience, income potential, and unmatched recreational access in one of Colorado's most sought-after destinations. *Several photos of the property are staged.*
