Wow! What an incredible setting at Alpine Meadows just outside Crested Butte. This almost 2.2 acre perch enjoys solar gain, captivating views of Nicholson Lake and iconic Mt. Crested Butte to the east. The property borders over 70 acres of protected Crested Butte Land Trust land.

From the solar PV array to the air-to-water heat pump to the passive haus windows, this home was designed for state-of-the-art living in our demanding climate. There is a big, detached garage on the property, an awesome stand alone sauna building and the ultimate fire ring for summer gatherings above the lake! Alpine Meadows is a very special and private community located just a few minutes to downtown Crested Butte. Homeowners enjoy use of private Nicholson Lake for boating, swimming and fishing and private access to the Slate River for fishing and exploring.
