324 Whiterock Ave | New Listing | $995,000

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

324 Whiterock Avenue

Arguably the best trees and landscaping around, this in-town sanctuary is conveniently located on the free skier shuttle route, 2 blocks from Elk Avenue dining, shopping and fun. 324 Whiterock was built by Norton Designworks in 2000. Featuring a flexible floor plan, this property will accommodate year-round family living or week long ski trip visits! Enjoy protected views of Mt. Crested Butte from the front porch and Gibson’s Ridge from the upstairs deck, great southern light in the bedrooms and living areas and the incredible landscaping and mature trees of this in-town sanctuary. The 1342 sft unfinished basement currently serves as an office, laundry and storage but will easily convert to a great theatre/media room or additional spaces for guests. The 2-bedroom accessory dwelling earns a handsome monthly income and the main house performs very well as a vacation rental. (110 rental days in 2009) Furnishings are negotiable!

Dumping Crested Butte

Friday, February 19th, 2010

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.

Cash is king in the current market with inventory at an all time high and with prices as low as they have been in years. Even without cash, there are still great interest rates for qualified buyers. Now is the time to buy that second vacation home or condo, as described below in this week’s New York Times article.

Skiers Buy Vacation Homes as Prices Fall

By IRENE RAWLINGS

OVER the holiday season all was snowy and bright at ski areas across the country, with a festive jingle in the air. It wasn’t sleigh bells — it was the sound of money. Vacation-home seekers who saw recessionary opportunities were looking to buy.

Many were ready to pay in cash, and they wanted great deals, like a $900,000 slope-side condominium for $500,000 or a studio in town for half the asking price. They were getting what they wanted because it is the best buyers’ market in 20 years, real estate agents said, with inventory at levels not seen since 2001.

105 Bear Scratch | $6,200,000

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

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.
