105 Bear Scratch

Here at Benson Sotheby’s International Realty we had two of our larger listings sell. At the beginning of January Cathy Benson’s listing at 105 Bear Scratch sold for $4,000,000, which was the highest home sale in the Crested Butte area in over 5 years.*  105 Bear Scratch was a magnificent ski in/ski out home located in the Prospect at Mt. Crested Butte subdivision.

750 Providence Ridge

Later in the month 750 Providence Ridge ended up selling for $1,600,000. This was another listing of Cathy Benson and Gary Huresky was the agent for the buyer. 750 Providence Ridge was a wonderful home at the top of Trappers Crossing at Wildcat that had breathtaking views down valley.

*Dan McElroy of Coldwell Banker Bighorn was the agent for the buyer

105 Bear Scratch has just been reduced down to $4,999,000, that is over a million dollars in reductions since the beginning of the year.  This is an incredible price for such an incredible property.  Prime Ski in/Ski out location in the premier subdivision on the mountain, Prospect at Mt. Crested Butte.   You can’t find a better ski location to arrive and depart, skis off, throw your gloves in the 2nd laundry, the heated slate flooring warming as you put on your boots. Take a swim or work out in the spa room, of course you can separate the clan by venue, conversation and a real fireplace in the great room or play with TV additional fireplace in the media/game area. The massive entry stone work is throughout the house in the fireplaces and half bath. Extra touches are quite notable with hand planed Pecan floors, custom Cherry doors and trim.

Snowing in Crested Butte

It is dumping in Crested Butte, with more on the way.  We could easily end up with over 2 feet of snow by Sunday, so now is the BEST time to get out here to Crested Butte and get some skiing in.  This weekend on the mountain, it will be near impossible not to find powder stashes everywhere you turn. 

If you are thinking you could get used to this kind of lifestyle why not check out the premier ski in/ski out home in the valley, that is 105 Bear Scratch.  Not only is this home located on the slopes, but it also has an indoor swimming pool and an indoor putting green.  Check out more photos and details at 105BearScratch.com.

105 Bear Scratch

Talisker House from the Isle of Skye, just a wee bit of whiskey poured into the foundation for good luck begins the amazing thought given in designing and building this spectacular home.

You can’t find a better ski location to arrive and depart, skis off, throw your gloves in the 2nd laundry, the heated slate flooring warming as you put on your boots. Take a swim or work out in the spa room, of course you can separate the clan by venue, conversation and a real fireplace in the great room or play with TV additional fireplace in the media/game area.

The massive entry stone work is throughout the house in the fireplaces and half bath. Extra touches are quite notable with hand planed English Chestnut floors, custom Cherry doors and trim.
