A brand-new, 5,068-square-foot mountain home in Crested Butte, Colorado, built directly on a private runway with its own 3,000-square-foot hangar, is currently for sale for $6,495,000.
231 S Avion Drive sits in the Avion Club at Buckhorn Ranch, one of the more exclusive fly-in enclaves in the Rocky Mountains, with direct taxiway access to a 4,400-foot private airstrip. Just five minutes from the historic downtown and Crested Butte Mountain Resort, the community is popular with residents who enjoy access to their properties directly from their private jets.
Buyers taxi in from the airstrip, walk into the house, and look at Mt. Crested Butte and Whetstone Mountain from the great room. But the private hangar is the masterpiece. 3,000 square feet, sized for multiple aircraft, with room left over for trucks, side-by-sides, ski gear, and more.
The community offers easy access to Crested Butte’s legendary National Forest Service biking and hiking trails, rivers, and, in the winter, snow skiing, cross-country skiing, and fat biking.
The home itself was designed by Kasia Karska Design (KKD) and completed in 2024 with over 4,000 square feet, four bedrooms, four and a half baths, vaulted ceilings, triple-pane Polish windows, and an exterior blend of reclaimed wood, stone, and Shou Sugi Ban Japanese siding. A separate 3-car garage has a non-deed-restricted 1-bedroom accessory unit above it, giving owners flexibility for guests, staff, or rental income.
KKD, located in the Vail Valley, is known for the design and build of unique properties in environments that offer infinite potential. Focusing on Eastern design principles such as Feng Shui and Vaastu Shastra in their designs, they create harmonious homes that residents find difficult to leave.
While the home’s interior, including a gourmet kitchen, dramatic great room, a striking steel, wood, and glass staircase leading to multiple levels, and a primary suite spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub offering views of Mt. Crested Butte, can’t be beat.
This remarkable space offers endless possibilities for collectors, hobbyists, outdoor enthusiasts, and aviation experts alike. The property offers tremendous value for someone looking for a true retreat in one of the region’s most popular destinations.
Represented by Jaima Giles-Alsum and Channing Boucher, this property is truly unique from the inside out.
