865 Trappers Way

The Trappers Crossing Crested Butte ranch community sits on the western boundary of the Town of Crested Butte and the flank of Mt. Emmons. Rarely do properties become available in this coveted zone so 865 Trappers Way is a stand out opportunity for those that seek privacy, natural beauty and open space but a close proximity to downtown Crested Butte. The almost 4,700 SF four bedroom mountain home enjoys a stunning location with a great mix of forest and wildflower meadows. Sitting on 38 acres and a natural bench above Kebler Pass, the home faces south toward the forest and the views of Mt. Crested Butte, Whetstone Mountain and Axtell Mountain. Design highlights include Ball & Ball hand cast door and cabinet hardware, Heart Pine wide plank flooring, Cypress cabinets, tops, rails, case and trim and 22 handmade (pegged, no nails or screws), distress-painted interior doors, beautiful faux painted walls and extensive rheostat lighting circuits for mood setting and spot-lighting your favorite pieces of art. Other features include a spacious primary suite with two adjoining office spaces and a wood burning fireplace and a main living room with a big dining area and a floor-to-ceiling rock wood burning fireplace. The open kitchen is set up to accommodate large family gatherings and entertaining with a walk-in pantry, a SubZero fridge, a Vulcan gas range, handmade cypress cabinets with galvanized counter tops and a 6 foot long edge-grain maple counter top for food preparation. The sun/star-filled greenhouse located between the main house section and master bedroom suite is finished with exterior siding and lanterns giving it rustic exterior ambience. The greenhouse features a decorative, wall-mounted hose bib for easy plant watering, and a water-proof road paver floor with in-floor heat. The greenhouse generates heat on sunny winter days and the independent thermostatically controlled air movement system circulates the heated air giving the home a boost of retained heat. Above the huge 1,079 SF garage and workshop there is a vaulted and spacious apartment with its own kitchen, living area and bedroom suite. The expansive decks and covered porches wrap the home from east to west creating opportunities for outdoor dining, relaxing in Colorado’s sunshine and clean air, star gazing and soaking in the hot tub.
