Location: Experience unparalleled tranquility and privacy with this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat. Located in the exclusive gated community of Trappers at Wildcat, this property encompasses two adjacent 35-acre lots and holds the rare distinction of being the ONLY home perched on Gibson’s Ridge. This unique position offers total seclusion with no visible neighbors and jaw-dropping panoramic views of 20+ mountain peaks, the valley floor and downtown Crested Butte below. The estate perfectly strikes a balance between untamed wilderness and mountain-town elegance. Step directly into the forest to immerse yourself in the Rockies, or enjoy a scenic 50-minute trek via the Green Lake Trail, delivering you from your front door straight into the heart of downtown. If traveling by vehicle, enjoy a beautiful 4-mile drive through the high country landscape to reach downtown Crested Butte. The drive to downtown usually takes about 10 minutes, though we recommend taking it slow and soaking in the views when winter weather rolls in.
