8 Bedrooms Single Family Detached

Imagine the chance to own one of the rarest types of properties: a significant close-in estate where land, views, and proximity coexist. Cow Camp combines a remarkable main residence and guest home with 17+ acres less than one-half mile from downtown Crested Butte and approximately one mile from the ski mountaincreating a ranch-estate experience that becomes increasingly difficult to replicate over time. ***** Set above the protected Slate River valley, Cow Camp Homestead offers a rare combination of acreage, proximity, views, and long-term flexibility. Encompassing 17.34 acres across three parcels, the property provides privacy, scale, and opportunity otherwise unavailable this close to town. ***** The land defines the opportunity. Open meadows, protected view corridors, and the surrounding Slate River valley create a setting that feels expansive and permanent, while still a short walk or ride from Crested Buttes historic core. Secured water rights and augmentation infrastructure an increasingly scarce asset in the valley support long-term confidence in ownership. Entitlements in place for three additional structures allow unusual flexibility for a multi-generational compound or long-term family retreat. The homestead includes a newly constructed main residence and thoughtfully restored guest home totaling more than 10,900 heated square feet, designed to support multi-generational living and long-term enjoyment. Expansive mountain views, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and multiple gathering spaces create a setting equally suited for quiet retreat or large-scale entertaining. ***** Completed in 2024, the main residence was designed by Sunlit Architecture and built by Hargrove & Kidd with an emphasis on durability, livability, and refined mountain craftsmanship. The original barn was completely rebuilt and finished in 2019, creating a beautifully independent guest home ideal for hosting family, friends, or clients. With infrastructure, utilities, and finished construction already complete, the property is ready for immediate enjoyment without the time, complexity, and uncertainty of building in Crested Butte today. The opportunity to assemble this combination of land, location, and craftmanship would be extraordinarily difficult to replicate. Land, location, water, and proximity that cannot be recreated paired with structures built with the same standard of conviction.
