An amazing offering matched only by it's equally stunning location above the Slate River at Alpine Meadows, this is one of the finest properties and neighborhoods in our valley. The 3,570 SF main house was built in 1999 by long time local craftsman Kevin Tutor and in 2018 the 1,500 SF accessory building was added. Inspired by rural Central European chalet design, rustic 407 Nicholson Lake Ridge epitomizes what it means to live in the high mountains. From the stunning whole log lodgepole pine beams to the dramatic floor-to-ceiling Rumford wood burning fireplace this property oozes natural beauty inside and out. Interior highlights include a combination of distressed and reclaimed oak and stone floors, chinked log walls, vaulted, tongue and groove ceilings and exquisite hand milled doors, trim and staircase to the upstairs guest quarters. The kitchen enjoys a six-burner Viking range with a stone surround and gorgeous hardware, distressed custom cabinetry, tumbled marble tops and designer lighting treatments. The primary suite features a library, beautiful ceiling beams, vanity tops in tumbled marble and Kevin Tutor custom milled cabinetry. Outside the incredible gardens, mature trees, landscaped grounds and the cobble driveway compliment the absolutely eye popping locally sourced stone siding, the gas lanterns and the flowering window boxes with distressed shutters. Functional highlights include gas fired radiant zoned heating throughout, a central vacuum system and 625 SF of lower level storage. The home sits on a elevated 2.32 acre parcel overlooking the iconic Slate River and the wilderness areas above Crested Butte. Alpine Meadows owner amenities include exclusive access and fishing rights on the Slate River and private fishing and boating on Nicholson Lake. The lake is stocked with hundreds of Rainbows, Cutbow and Brown trout. Easily access the National Forest, the Lupine Trail and Lower Loop from this special Crested Butte neighborhood. Alpine Meadows owners enjoy strong water rights and private domestic water system. The Town of Crested Butte is just 7 minutes away.
