Apartment Mount Crested Butte (United States)

Located at the doorstep of Crested Butte Mountain Resort, Unit 2A at the Black Diamond Lodge is a pristine two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath mountain home, offering 1,236 square feet of carefully finished living space. From the moment you step inside, the quality of the finishes is evident — reclaimed oak floors, natural stone tile, and nine-foot ceilings create a sense of warmth and ease. The main living area centers around a natural gas fireplace, with mountain views framing the space beyond. Radiant in-floor heat keeps the residence consistently comfortable, while the kitchen — appointed with granite slab countertops and Bosch stainless appliances — is well-suited for everything from a quick après-ski meal to a relaxed weekend dinner on the spacious balcony overlooking Mt. Crested Butte. Both bedrooms are spacious, bright, and offer ensuite baths. The Black Diamond building is designed with the mountain lifestyle in mind. A secure underground parking garage, private ski lockers, dedicated storage, and elevator access make daily life seamless. The amenities serve owners year-round and include an outdoor hot tub, as well as new fitness and office spaces completed in 2025. In addition, the exterior was stained in 2025, the interior hallways were refreshed with new carpet and paint, and a new building boiler and engineered roof was installed. Offered fully furnished, Unit 2A serves an ideal primary residence or an income-producing property. The combination of ski-in proximity, strong building amenities, and high-quality finishes positions it well in the Crested Butte short-term rental market, while its livability and condition make it equally appealing as a full-time home. Just across the street is Mountaineer Square and the free town shuttle to Crested Butte's vibrant downtown, with its independent restaurants, local shops, and year-round events. The paved recreation path runs just steps from the building and provides easy access to miles of cycling and hiking in summer and groomed Nordic skiing in winter. In every season, the valley delivers — wildflower meadows, world-class fly fishing, mountain biking trails, and some of the most dramatic scenery in Colorado, all within reach from your front door.

Apartment Mount Crested Butte (United States)

Location, location, location. CLOUD NINE CAMP is a spacious and bright condo perfectly positioned in so many ways. It's only steps from Crested Butte’s main ski lifts, making it easy to dash back and forth during a ski day. It’s on the second floor of the Lodge at Mountaineer Square (LMS) with easy access - via stairs or elevator - to a courtyard ringed by retail and dining options, including the Coffee Lab, A Bar Above and Tin Cup ice cream. Though it’s just above the heart of the base area, CLOUD NINE CAMP is located in a quiet corner. Windows on three sides fill the space with natural light. And for those in the know, access to the town shuttle makes a huge difference; CLOUD NINE CAMP’s access couldn’t be better - While the elevators are always an option, this condo is steps away from a hidden stairwell that leads down to the Mountain Express transit node and a free ride to downtown Crested Butte every 15 minutes. When you do drive, you’ll LOVE the safe and convenient heated garage! Owners and guests at LMS enjoy several other amenities as well. The fitness center is your in-house gym. The views from the pool deck and the oversized hot tub are magic! On-site management staffs the front desk and are always poised to help. While CLOUD NINE CAMP has its own fireplace, one can also relax by the fire in the gracious LMS lobby. Finally, 15,000 square feet of group meeting space drives occupancy for those owners taking advantage of the rental program. The sellers, who previously resided for decades in a larger residence in the area, found they preferred to live in a premium space in the perfect location, so they chose and have happily resided in this spacious 1 bedroom (king bed) with 2 large bathrooms. A pullout sofa allows the condo to accommodate up to four adults, and the option of renting other units on the hall allows flexibility to easily host any number of visitors. Other appointments include ample storage, washer/dryer, and easy access to the trash chute. See how lovely and convenient a condo can be by calling Scout for a private tour CLOUD NINE CAMP!

House Mount Crested Butte (United States)

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 slope side 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.

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.

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.
