Description

This magnificent Red Mountain Ranch home has garnered multiple national architectural awards including the American Institute of Building Design – 2013 Best Home Over 2,500 sq ft. and Best Home 2013 Reader’s Choice Award – Timber Home Living. The house has also been prominently featured in the Texas Timber Frame Co. brochure. The secluded and refined estate is affectionately called The Tree House. This name was given by the owners who envisioned building a sanctuary pairing rustic elegance with the beautiful forest setting on 35 elevated acres in the coveted Red Mountain Ranch community. Tucked away amid an aspen grove with broad views of Mt. Crested Butte, the East River Valley and the entire Elk Mountain horizon, this breathtaking 4 bedroom, 4 bath mountain retreat offers the perfect balance of privacy, elegance and adventure close to Crested Butte. Your sense of arrival is heightened by high quality construction seen in mammoth timber entry posts, natural rock pillars and stacked stone walls. The home is a genuine timber frame dwelling built by Texas Timber Frame artisans using peg and mortis construction without one nail or metal plate. The mountain lodge design is enriched by the grand dry stacked stone fireplace in the great room and immense chimney cap constructed by master mason Dave Dennis with stone hand- picked by the family from a quarry in Arkansas. The heavy timber frame construction is built with richly looking antique long leaf pine floors, artisan doors and woodwork reclaimed and crafted with material from the historic Murphy Street Church in Taylor, Texas. This elegant 4,016 sq. ft. residence features an impressive great room with a tall cathedral ceiling providing a warm patina from the heavy timbers and cedar planks. Two family gathering areas, a gourmet cook’s kitchen with double wall ovens, warming oven, built-in 48”cooktop, stainless appliances and granite counters, a wine cellar for several hundred bottles, two spacious offces, primary ensuite bedroom with private covered balcony and inspiring views to the mountain horizon, a second king ensuite bedroom and 2 guest bedrooms, 2 more full baths, and an impressive ironwood constructed entertaining deck containing a new hot tub and an adjoining firepit sundeck all contribute to the enjoyment for family and friends. The extraordinary Red Mountain Ranch land parcel provides an engaging variety of topography with a steep 75-foot rocky, timbered ravine enhanced by a dramatic waterfall during Spring runoff, natural meadows including a wedding meadow, a large natural spring attracting forest animals, and numerous aspen groves providing habitat for elk, deer and moose. In your search for the perfect and private, uniquely crafted, high quality, mostly furnished, turnkey mountain sanctuary, The Tree House at 796 Red Mountain Ranch Road is a legacy residence ready for the enjoyment, mountain adventures and memories for you and your family and friends.
