23 Gray Fox Lane
Mt. Crested Butte, CO 81225
Perched at the top of the prestigious Prospect subdivision in Mt. Crested Butte, 23 Gray Fox Lane- known as The Tipple House- is a legacy home unlike any other. Designed to ignite the imagination and stir the soul, this extraordinary mountain retreat pays homage to Crested Butte’s rich mining past with masterful detail, while offering an entirely modern expression of luxury, privacy, and alpine living. Nestled into the forested slopes of Mt. Crested Butte, The Tipple House is more than 6,200 square feet of handcrafted authenticity- an architectural love letter to the town's heritage that seamlessly blends antique craftsmanship with cutting-edge design. This exceptional home has garnered multiple architectural awards and has been featured in renowned publications such as The Wall Street Journal and Mountain Living, a testament to its distinctive design and timeless appeal. Every beam, floorboard, and finish tell a story, incorporating reclaimed materials from the region’s mining era- like antique oak flooring, structural timbers, and rusted siding from a dismantled bunkhouse- bringing the spirit of Crested Butte’s history into every room. What truly sets 23 Gray Fox Lane apart, though, is its location. With unmatched ski-in/ski-out access to the slopes of Crested Butte Mountain Resort and direct adjacency to 276 acres of open space, the home borders the Gunnison National Forest and connects to miles of pristine trails. Multiple chairlifts lie just moments away, offering unparalleled direct slopeside access. Whether blanketed in fresh snow or bursting with wildflowers, the landscape remains beautifully untouched, a sanctuary of alpine meadows and towering timber that evokes both wonder and peace. Inside, this fully furnished home offers seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, and two half bathrooms, each space with its own signature ambiance- from Carrara marble to honey onyx and pillowed stone finishes, to distinctive gold-flecked granite walls, stone corridors, and reclaimed timber beams that bring a distinctive industrial feel with a luxurious twist. The primary suite, located on the main level, is a retreat within a retreat, complete with a sitting room, private deck, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath finished in warm Jerusalem gold limestone. The heart of the home is its tipple-inspired glass observatory- an iconic architectural feature offering 360-degree panoramic views of surrounding mountain ranges, while the kitchen, outfitted with Viking and Miele appliances, invites culinary creativity with soapstone countertops and wine and beer fridges. Additional highlights include a fully equipped ski room featuring an Austrian 15-pair boot dryer. In 2014, a private wing was added, offering a spacious family room with wet bar and private balcony, two guest suites, and a home theater outfitted with a state-of-the-art AV system and surround sound—providing the perfect setting to relax, entertain, and enjoy après-ski moments in comfort. The lower level continues the home’s celebration of mountain heritage with dramatic floor-to-ceiling rustic stone walls. A spacious junior suite featuring a luxurious spa-style bathroom and cozy seating area, a second guest suite, plus two additional guest rooms- one ideal as a den or office- offer abundant room for extended family or guests. A wine cellar and third living room provide the perfect space for après-ski gatherings with a pool table, relaxed lounge, and walk-out patio that leads to a spacious outdoor seating area and hot tub. Stunning grounds encapsulate three spacious yet intimate patios thoughtfully blending with the natural landscape. The Tipple House is not just a home- it is a one-of-a-kind experience, rooted deeply in local history and elevated by unrivaled craftsmanship and site-specific artistry. It is a place where stories begin, and where the rare combination of seclusion, history, and access to nature converge in a way that will simply never be duplicated again.
