491 Slate River Drive
Crested Butte, CO 81224
Nestled above a sweeping bend in the Slate River, in the serene shadow of iconic 12,168’ Crested Butte, this extraordinary home offers a front-row seat to some of Colorado’s most awe-inspiring natural beauty. With major upgrades since 2023, it blends timeless exposed-wood charm with modern luxury and panoramic mountain views that stretch from Whetstone to Gothic. Enjoy the ever-changing beauty of protected riverfront wilderness right from your expansive stone deck with hot tub, firepit, and both open-sky and roof-covered seating areas. Wildlife sightings are frequent, sunsets are unforgettable, and night skies are ablaze with stars. Inside, massive windows bring the outside in, illuminating a spacious open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The craftsmanship shines with Douglas fir beams and ceilings, cherry floors, and an all-new gourmet chef’s kitchen featuring Wolf/Cove appliances, granite countertops, a large serving island, and walk-in pantry. The main level includes two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom featuring heated floors. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a true sanctuary with cathedral ceilings, private balcony, gas stove, dual-vanity bath with steam shower and hydrotherapy tub, bidet-toilet, heated floors, and walk-in closet. A fourth bedroom or office and a large ADU-style bonus room complete the upper level. The bonus room includes a kitchenette, bath, and private entrance offering ideal flexibility for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living. Located just 6 minutes from historic Crested Butte and 12 minutes to world-class skiing, you can bike or walk into town on a dedicated path or paddle straight home via the Slate River. A true legacy property set in National Geographic-level scenery.
