Description
This extraordinary custom residence by acclaimed Kasia Karska Design redefines mountain living at Buckhorn Ranch, offering a rare combination of architectural excellence and aviation convenience with direct private airstrip access and a fully finished 3,000 sqft climate-controlled hangar. The impressive 4,138 sqft main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with vaulted ceilings, a modern, open floor plan, and premium triple-pane windows imported from Poland that frame panoramic Mt. Crested Butte views. The show stopping custom kitchen with an oversized bar flows seamlessly into an impressive great room perfect for entertaining. The main-level primary suite features direct mountain views and spa-inspired finishes, while a striking steel, wood, and glass central staircase leads to two additional ensuite bedrooms and second living area on the upper level. The exterior artfully combines reclaimed wood, natural stone, and traditional Shou Sugi Ban Japanese siding with two expansive outdoor patios and a custom indoor/outdoor fireplace. The versatile hangar transcends aviation storage, capable of accommodating collector vehicles, campers, RVs, motorcycles, and dirt bikes while offering endless customization possibilities including gym space, a climbing wall, music room, workshop, or equipment storage. Direct airstrip access provides true fly-in, fly-out convenience for a personal aircraft. Above the 3-car garage, the 930 sqft Pilot's quarters comprising 1 bedroom and a full bath, a full kitchen, and laundry offers exceptional flexibility as an ADU, guest suite, or income-producing rental with no deed restrictions. Located minutes from Crested Butte Mountain Resort and historic downtown, the property delivers year-round access to world-class skiing, legendary mountain biking, blue-ribbon fly fishing, and a vibrant arts scene. Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport provides commercial service, while Buckhorn's private airstrip offers the ultimate convenience. This once-in-a-generation opportunity combines architectural distinction, multi-purpose aviation and recreation infrastructure, income potential, and access to one of Colorado's most coveted mountain destinations in a property totaling over 9,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space. **The furniture in some of the photos has been virtually staged.**
