Crested Butte Luxury - High Meadow Ranch

The old saying that the “view from the top looks good” still holds true, especially if you are talking about the view from High Meadow Ranch. Situated on seventy-two acres of mountain meadow just outside of Crested Butte, Colorado, High Meadow Ranch has a spectacular serene setting consisting of mountains, valleys, and forest.

“The home offers exceptional views of the area,” says John Stratman, broker with Mason & Morse Ranch Company in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. “It sits high in a meadow overlooking the Crested Butte Valley and surrounding mountains.” Located just minutes from the Crested Butte Mountain Resort, its prime location is perfect for both summer and winter recreational activities.

Its breathtaking backdrop and unique location adds to the secluded feel of the home. The property borders the Gunnison National Forest, allowing direct access into the forest and, as Stratman says, “more area to roam.” Of course, this unparalleled location means that native wildlife sightings become a regular part of life.

Built by Copper Creek Homes and designed by architect Daniel J. Murphy, the $4,599,000 home’s exterior consists of native stone and reclaimed barn wood. Covered decks provide the perfect place to enjoy the home’s one-of-a-kind views.

The interior of the home makes an almost seamless transition from the surrounding natural environment. Its 5,600 square feet of living space is graced with details such as massive overhead timber beams, reclaimed oak flooring, cherry cabinetry, and a stone hearth.

“It has all of the amenities that you would expect to find in a high- quality mountain estate,” Stratman says. Its gourmet kitchen, wet bars, and dining areas open up to the large great room with its magnificent mountain views, making the home the perfect place for entertaining. A state-of-the-art media room adds to the festive ambience. The master bedroom is strategically located on the first floor, allowing for maximum privacy.
