High Meadow Ranch is an inspiring Colorado mountain style home sited on 72 acres in Gunnison County, Colorado. The property lies in a natural meadow near the top of an Aspen and pine covered ridge overlooking the East River Valley and the mountain town of Crested Butte. Located only 20 minutes from Crested Butte and bordering the Gunnison National Forest the property offers exceptional privacy and sweeping mountain views.
LOCATION
High Meadow Ranch is located about 11 miles southeast of Crested Butte and 28 miles north of Gunnison, Colorado. A county road leads from Highway 135 to a private access road winding up the valley and through a timbered forest before leveling out into a mountain meadow overlooking Crested Butte.
The property is an easy 20 minute drive to world class skiing and the resort activities of Crested Butte. Gunnison and its all weather commercial airport is just 30 minutes away.
ACREAGE
The property consists of native species of meadow grass, Aspen and pine trees. A semi-developed water well-fed pond in the meadow below the home attracts wildlife and provides viewing of a variety of animals throughout the warm weather months. An Aspen ridge line frames the home and the mountain meadow making a spectacular backdrop. The property adjoins the Gunnison National Forest along it northern boundary, areas teeming with wildlife including Rocky Mountain Elk, Mule deer, coyotes, badger, black bear and others native animals.
The home site has outstanding views of Mt. Crested Butte, Red Mountain, the Whetstone Mountains, Mount Emmons, the East River Valley and the Gothic valleys. A westward orientation provides spectacular sunsets and lots winter-warming sun. A beautiful picnic spot on the Aspen ridgeline overlooks the south valley and is just a few minutes walk from the front door. As is the national forest in the opposite direction, providing quick and easy access to world class hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
The access road was built to county specification and traverses a dense pine forest before leveling out near the high mountain meadow where the home is located. Underground utilities and a domestic well have been developed on site.
The 72 acres is divided into two separate parcels of approximately 36 acres each. The access road traverses the lower parcel on its way to the home site on the upper parcel. The home and upper 36 acres can be purchased separately.

SUMMARY
This spectacular mountain home is one of kind with views to match of the surrounding mountains and valleys. It’s location provides unmatched privacy and seclusion. The opportunity to own a home of this caliber on such a unique land parcel in the Crested Butte valley is very limited. The replacement value of the property and improvements easily justify the asking price. The property has excellent access to commercial and private air service. It is accessible to the world class skiing and year round recreation activities of the Crested Butte resort and community, yet offers the privacy and forest access generally reserved to larger and more remote holdings. A true masterpiece!
