Crested Butte - Known as The Last Great Colorado Ski Town, is just that and much, much more. If you are familiar with Crested Butte, you know that we are famous for world class alpine skiing and snowboarding, as well as miles and miles of cross-country skiing. Under the new ownership of CNL Lifestyle Properties, and management by Tim and Diane Mueller, the ski resort is undergoing a $200 million base area rennovation, along with several on-mountain improvements, with more on the way. The new Red Lady Lodge has been approved and will be under construction in Spring '09 at the top of the Red Lady lift. The old and aging Gothic Building at the ski area base was demolished in September 07, in anticipation of the new Cimmarron Building which will house over 90 high-end luxury ski-in ski-out residences.
As for Summer, most locals will tell you they moved here to ski and ride, but stayed here for the summers.

From hiking to mountain biking, to golf, fly fishing, jeeping, and just plain relaxing, there's no better place to be during summertime.

The real estate market here in Crested Butte has slowed somewhat during the past six months, due to several factors. First, the large amount of national media over the housing market, construction industry, and financial institutions have not help sales anywhere. Second, we have realized a significant correction from the record pace of local real estate sales closed from 2003 through 2006. Third, we have an ample supply of
Crested Butte Homes and
Mt. Crested Butte Condominiums giving buyers more choices than ever in the Crested Butte area. As a result of this excess inventory, buyers are taking more time to make their selections and close on the real estate transaction. However, there are still many great values in real estate opportunities in the Crested Butte area. Additionally, there are several opportunities for purchasing
Crested Butte Land. Shop around and compare, and I think you'll find
Crested Butte real estate to be a better value than most other ski areas in Colorado.
