Description

Where Rustic Mountain Living Meets Modern Sophistication

Crafted with a vision of unparalleled luxury, 1251 Skyland Drive stands as an architectural masterpiece perched at 9,000 ft. Enjoy breathtaking 360-degree mountain views from Whetstone to Mt. Crested Butte. This contemporary, rustic estate seamlessly merges western character with high-end living, offering 5,480 sq. ft. of living space, five ensuite bedrooms, two half-baths, and 2,000 sq. ft. of additional storage.

Inside, custom details abound—from King Systems surround sound to a Control 4 lighting system and bespoke doors by Danny Byron. The vaulted great room opens to a large, covered balcony, perfect for taking in saturated sunsets, while the stone fireplace and reclaimed wood walls add warmth and charm.

The chef's kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances, including a Wolf 6-burner gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Miele espresso machine. The kitchen’s open design illuminated glass backsplash, quartz countertops, and marble island make it an inviting space for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.

The primary suite offers a serene retreat with a private balcony, double-sided fireplace, and luxurious bath featuring a steam shower, soaking tub, and matching vanities. A private office on the main level provides a comfortable workspace with custom glass French doors and outdoor patio.

Descending the dramatic stairway, you’ll find an elegant media room with a floating metal fireplace, three TVs, and a glamorous bar with suspended metal-and-glass shelves. The 1,000-bottle wine cellar is a connoisseur’s dream.

The lower level boasts high ceilings and three guest suites, including a Junior Primary suite, and a custom Bunk Room. The mudroom offers ample storage and opens to an oversized 3-car garage with a dog wash station.

Set on 3.29 acres, the most expansive lot in the coveted Skyland Neighborhood, just steps from Lake Grant, this furnished home offers serene privacy and elevated views, with extensive landscaping and over 80 trees planted. Skyland is home to the Club at Crested Butte, featuring an 18-hole Trent Jones Jr. golf course, indoor pool, fitness facilities, and fine dining.

Featured in Mountain Living Magazine, the all-star team that brought this home from vision to reality include architect Dan Murphy, builder Roger Cesario of Copper Creek Homes, and interior designer Carolina Fechino-Alling of ID Studio. Chris Lennox of Combined Timber Crafts crafted custom oversized Douglas fir beams, braces, and arched trusses throughout the home which create a sense of awe and grand scale.

This property is ideal for those seeking an extraordinary alpine lifestyle. With a full non-transferable membership to the Club at Crested Butte included, and proximity to the town, ski resort, and national forest, this luxury home is a timeless investment in an unparalleled location.
