Your Perfect Mountain Home is Waiting

Awarded “Project of the Year” by the town of Crested Butte for new residential construction including the accessory dwelling unit. This home is something special, a home that is as warm and inviting as it is technically extraordinary. Designed by Freestyle Architects and built by Smithworks, this net-zero passive home sits steps from the Recreation Path in the heart of town, combining cutting-edge sustainable construction with effortless livability that makes you never want to leave. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and Austrian wide-plank white oak floors set a tone that is immediately serene.

The open living and dining area flows naturally around exposed steel beams and floods with natural light through triple-pane European tilt-and-turn windows, each one set deep into the thick walls that are central to the home's passive performance. The kitchen is a true centerpiece: sage green cabinetry, fabulous state of the art appliances, a live-edge wood breakfast bar, and sculptural vintage lighting from Amsterdam bringing it all together. Every room feels considered, crafted, and genuinely comfortable. The home's net-zero performance is exceptional. An airtight building envelope dramatically reduces energy demand, while a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) continuously circulates fresh air without losing heat, meaning the home breathes as freely as one with the windows open. The non-toxic, zero-VOC insulation package not only contributes to exceptional thermal performance but creates a remarkably quiet, acoustically refined interior.

High-efficiency heat pumps, a rooftop solar array, and HRV system work seamlessly together, with a HERS rating that reflects true net-zero design, independently verifiable @ hersindex. A charming studio ADU with its own entrance and off-street parking provides a steady income stream or ideal space for an on-site property manager in one of Colorado's most sought-after mountain towns. A one-car garage with electric vehicle charger adds everyday convenience, and tucked into a sheltered nook on the property, a four-person saltwater hot tub offers the perfect end to a day on the mountain.

Cozy, secluded, and all yours. Walk to Elk Avenue restaurants, galleries, and shops. One block from the ski bus stop. Ride or walk the Rec Path to Mt. Crested Butte. Come home to a house that is quiet, warm, and costs almost nothing to run. This is what the future of mountain living looks like.
