Where refined architecture meets untamed Colorado wilderness. Perched on 35 private acres in Star Mountain Ranch, this custom mountain residence is intentionally positioned to take full advantage of sweeping views across the Gunnison Valley to the Castles and Anthracite Range. Here, the landscape isn’t just scenery — it becomes part of your everyday living experience. The 2,543 sq ft home was designed with clean lines, natural light, and enduring materials. Vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of scale, while expansive windows draw the outdoors in at every turn. Wide plank ash flooring and Caesarstone surfaces add warmth and subtle luxury, complementing the home’s modern mountain aesthetic. The kitchen anchors the main living space with generous prep areas, custom cabinetry, and effortless entertaining flow. After a day exploring the high country, radiant in-floor heat provides steady comfort, supported by Steffes heat storage, a pellet stove, and a whole-home water filtration system — practical luxury for true mountain living. The main-level primary suite offers privacy and comfort, featuring a soaking tub and direct porch access to a covered hot tub overlooking panoramic alpine views. A private office, laundry room, and powder bath add functionality for remote work and full-time living. Upstairs, guests enjoy their own retreat with a non-conforming second bedroom (Open loft area), full bath, and a private balcony facing southeast — perfect for watching the valley awaken at sunrise. A detached structure has been remodeled into a WiFi-enabled guest cabin or private workspace — ideal for visiting family, creative pursuits, or additional flexibility. Star Mountain Ranch residents enjoy access to over 300 acres of private common area with exclusive hunting and fishing rights. Bordering National Forest and just minutes from the West Elk Wilderness, this location offers immediate access to hiking, wildlife, horseback riding, and backcountry adventure. With reliable high-speed internet, and proximity to Gunnison (approximately 15 miles) & Crested Butte (approximately 37 miles)— plus shorter seasonal access to Crested Butte via Ohio Pass — the property balances seclusion with convenience. This is not simply a mountain home. It is a private high-country estate designed for buyers who value acreage, views, autonomy, and long-term legacy ownership in Western Colorado.
