14 Kokanee Lane

Description

Envisioned as a timeless old-world castle nestled slope-side on the shoulder of Crested Butte Mountain, 14 Kokanee is a true masterpiece of collaboration between an inspired visionary owner, locally renowned architect Dan Murphy, and skilled contractors Hargrove Kidd Construction. With six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, this home defies all pre-existing levels of luxury and quality in the prestigious Prospect at Mt. Crested Butte neighborhood and in the entire Crested Butte area. This expansive yet comfortable home showcases the best work of local artisans and craftsmen, including hand-forged ironwork, meticulous stone masonry, custom doors and built-ins, a floating staircase, lush landscaping features, accent lighting, double-slab countertops, and three eyebrow dormers (the first of its kind in Crested Butte). Combining this dream team of design and construction talent with artfully selected natural materials such as white oak flooring, painted poplar trim, Kansas limestone, Tennessee flagstone, and Idaho Douglas Fir timber trusses resulted in the absolute best quality rivaling any ski town in the Mountain West. Main floor living features a 27-foot vaulted ceiling with exceptional floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the home with light and frame watercolor skies and forever views of the Maroon Bells Wilderness Area and the Elk Mountain Range. Other attractive features include expansive outdoor living spaces, a heated driveway, an intimate 1,000-bottle wine cellar, a hydraulic three-floor elevator, four gas fireplaces, four steam showers, multiple kitchens, and a ski room connected to the best skier access in Crested Butte. The quality of this magnificent structure is rivaled only by the majestic setting of the towering peaks and the surging valleys of the last great Colorado ski town. Imagine your family and friends gathering in all seasons at this one-of-a-kind, legacy mountain home for generations to come!
