About This Home

This is the spot! A serene mountain setting at Red Mountain Ranch near Crested Butte, 495 White Buffalo Trail sits on a big, private and partially forested 35.1 acre ranch tract surrounded by amazing mountain view sheds. Mature Aspen groves, open meadows and peace and quiet compliment this incredible perch above the valley floor. This property has been lovingly maintained inside and out and a large portion of the home was fully renovated in 2014. The huge deck above the garage was added and a new roof was installed just four years ago. A new boiler was added in late 2025 and the water filters, pumps and a water purification system were recently added as well. Inside there is plenty of room for family and friends. The well appointed kitchen, a living area dressed in limestone and beautiful wood beams and trim detail, the primary suite, a guest bedroom and bath are all located on the main floor. There is a bonus loft sleeping space above and downstairs there is a big family room, 3 more bedrooms and a full bath. The heated 1,288 SF garage has room for two vehicles and there is plenty of storage. The home is offered furnished and the Toyota FJ Cruiser could be included in a sale of the property.
