CRESTED BUTTE COLLECTION | CRESTED BUTTE, COLORADO
Live Where the Mountains are your Backyard
Tucked along the Brush Creek corridor just five minutes south of historic downtown Crested Butte, Buckhorn Ranch is one of Colorado’s most distinctive communities — a place where big-sky meadows, soaring summits, and a lifestyle built around adventure all come together in perfect harmony.
Set in the upper East River Valley at the base of majestic Mt. Crested Butte, Buckhorn Ranch enjoys panoramic views in every direction: Whetstone Mountain, Red Lady, Paradise Divide, and the iconic south face of Mt. Crested Butte dominate the horizon. It’s the kind of scenery that never grows old — dramatic in every season and breathtaking at every turn.
The community is home to a diverse mix of stand-alone custom homes, townhomes, vacant lots ready for your dream build, and one of the most coveted features anywhere in the American Rockies: a private 4,000-foot paved airstrip. Whether you’re a pilot looking to fly in to your own mountain retreat, a skier with the resort a short drive away, or simply someone who wants a quiet, elevated life close to culture and nature — Buckhorn Ranch delivers.
