Designed by acclaimed architect Daniel Murphy and crafted by Bob Huckins Construction, this 7,061-square-foot residence embodies the essence of refined mountain living, where bespoke details and timeless craftsmanship converge.
Spanning three thoughtfully designed levels, the home was created for connection—whether welcoming extended family, hosting festive gatherings, or enjoying quiet evenings fireside. Established perennial gardens line the entrance of the home where a grand foyer ushers guests into the soaring great room. Custom millwork, dramatic trusses, and oversized windows frame forever-protected views of Gothic Mountain and the Elk Range. A hand-cast concrete fireplace anchors the space, while the expansive kitchen and dining area invite shared culinary experiences and communal meals. A Wolf range, slab granite counters, hidden refrigerators, and intricate custom cabinetry highlight the kitchen’s balance of elegance and utility.

Distinctive features abound, including a west wing with a custom mud/ski room and a one-of-a-kind chapel accessed through stained-glass French doors—an inspiring vaulted space with its own balcony, equally suited to quiet reflection or creative reimagining.
Guest accommodations are generous and private, with five additional bedrooms—each paired with an ensuite or nearby bath. The east wing offers a private second level with two ensuite bedrooms, a kitchenette, and balcony overlooking the Prospect lift.

Colorado’s ‘Last Great Ski Town,’ Crested Butte is known for its funky charm and immense beauty. Located in the Elk Mountains at an elevation of 8,909 feet, the town of Crested Butte began in the 1870s as a supply point for prospectors. Named after the distinctive peak nearby, Crested Butte soon became a hub for coal mining, and later transitioned into a ski town. Lately, it has become a year-round outdoor recreational hub for skiers, mountain bikers, hikers, fishermen and women, hunters, and boaters alike. In the early 1960s, Dick Eflin and Fred Rice bought a ranch three miles northeast of Crested Butte and converted it into a ski area, complete with one of the first gondolas in the state. It is now home to the town of Mt. Crested Butte and Crested Butte Mountain Resort. The ski area boasts 15 lifts accessing 121 trails including world-class extreme runs on the North Face and Headwall. The town of Crested Butte holds on to its mining past with original clapboard homes and businesses in an array of bright colors dotting Elk Avenue and throughout the entire town. Historic charm throughout the town and a top-10 rated public school continue to draw new homeowners throughout the valley.
