Description
Perfectly positioned on Rainbow Park with forever-protected panoramic views of the peaks that define the Crested Butte skyline, the Elk Avenue Farmhouse pairs enduring craftsmanship with one of the town’s most coveted settings. Thoughtfully designed by Somrak Concept + Structure, this custom mountain farmhouse balances sophisticated architecture with warmth, comfort, functionality, and timeless quality. Rare within the Town of Crested Butte, the residence offers the scale and flexibility to comfortably accommodate extended family and guests under one roof. Three main-level ensuite bedrooms, including the primary suite, provide effortless everyday living, while a private upstairs guest suite and extensive lower levelwith a theater, game room, wet bar, and custom bunk roomcreate inviting spaces for gathering and entertaining. Natural materials and bespoke finishes define each space. American Clay walls and ceilings, reclaimed beams, handcrafted steel detailing, brick accents, and custom millwork create understated elegance throughout. The chef’s kitchen is appointed with professional-grade BlueStar and Thermador appliances, while the primary suite includes a steam shower and spa-inspired bath. An elevator, highlighted by a quaking-aspen mural hand-painted by a local artist, services all three floors, and an ADA bedroom suite provides accessible accommodations. Expansive windows frame unobstructed views from Mount Emmons and Paradise Divide to Mount Baldy, Gothic Mountain, Snodgrass Mountain, Avery Peak, White Rock Mountain, and Crested Butte Mountain. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a view deck, spacious paver patio, built-in hot tub with a stone surround, mature gardens, and a beautifully landscaped fenced yard designed for every season. The home is supported by thoughtful infrastructure, including hydronic radiant in-floor heating throughout, whole-home Sonos audio, motorized Hunter Douglas shades, an HRV fresh-air system, photovoltaic solar, a solar water-preheating system, and an oversized mudroom. The detached heated accessory garage offers vaulted ceilings, built-in storage, and remaining FAR for potential future expansion. Perhaps most compelling is what can no longer be recreated under current Town of Crested Butte regulations, adding to the significance of this offering. Presented turnkey furnished, the property enjoys immediate access to hiking and biking trails, groomed Nordic ski trails and the recreation path, while remaining just blocks from Elk Avenue's acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. A home of this caliber is measured not only by its craftsmanship and premier location, but by its rarity. The Elk Avenue Farmhouse represents a unique opportunity to own one of Crested Butte's finest residences.
