So much open space, so close to town! Set on 2.82 premium acres with incredible unobstructed views in the coveted Moon Ridge Subdivision, this stunning home offers an unrivaled combination of privacy, central locale, and breathtaking vistas. Well-situated approximately one mile in either direction to downtown Crested Butte or up to Mt. Crested Butte, our scenic corridor recreational pathway is ideal for biking and walking, even Nordic skiing, for effortless town access. Designed by Andrew Hadley and built by Mike Wright in 2018, this home blends a classic Colorado exterior of stone, cedar, and reclaimed wood with a sophisticated contemporary European interior - unlike anything else in the valley. Spanning 3,736 square feet with 3 bed/2.5 bath, the home is designed to maximize natural light and dramatic landscapes. Expansive windows frame Crested Butte peak as it climbs to the sky in what feels like your own private backyard. To the south, enjoy sweeping down-valley panoramic views past Whetstone Mountain. To the west, unforgettable sunsets over Mt. Emmons will bookmark your days in paradise. The interior main level boasts a chef-designed gourmet kitchen, an open-concept living and dining space, two beautifully appointed patios, and a private primary en suite. The upper level features two spacious bedrooms along with two versatile multi-purpose spaces that offer the flexibility of a fourth bedroom and office. Architectural highlights include exposed structural steel beams and a striking floating steel staircase forged by local blacksmith Adam Chater. Refined finishes throughout feature Austrian white oak flooring, an ultra-efficient Finnish Tulikivi soapstone fireplace, and Porcelanosa accent tile. This exceptional property is privately tucked away within Moon Ridge Lane while maintaining direct access to world-class mountain biking, fishing, and hiking trails. In wintertime, ski lifts are just minutes away, and Nordic trails are seen right outside your door. An additional upside is the newly constructed Crested Butte fire station located less than a mile away. Nature is ever present, however; the surrounding protected open space preserves exquisite views of the Gunnison National Forest and Washington Gulch stream, with sightings of elk, foxes, and the occasional bear. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional home - where impeccable design meets an irreplaceable setting.
