Location of 2255 Wildcat
2255 Wildcat Trail, Crested Butte, Colorado 81224
Experience absolute tranquility at 2255 Wildcat Trail, a rare estate situated on a double lot within the exclusive gated community of Trapper’s at Wildcat. As the only residence perched atop Gibson’s Ridge, this home offers total seclusion with no neighbors in sight. From this singular vantage point, enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views stretching 40 miles across the surrounding peaks and valleys.
While you enjoy the peace of over 70 private acres, the heart of downtown Crested Butte is just 10 minutes away via a scenic, year-round road. For the adventurous, the Green Lake Trail is accessible right from your front door, offering a beautiful 50-minute hike directly into town.
Walk to town from the house
A 50-minute hike from your front door on the Green Lake Trail leads directly into downtown Crested Butte. For families with young children, we recommend a "one-way" downhill hike to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or the local park. To avoid the uphill trek back, we suggest having one member of your party drive into town to provide a shuttle return to the house. The red path on the image below outlines the Green Lake Trail route from our front door to town.
Getting Here & Getting Away
Nestled in a high valley of the Elk Mountain Range, Crested Butte is a hidden gem on Colorado’s Western Slope. This remote location offers a pristine alternative to the congestion of I-70 resorts, boasting pure mountain water, alpine air, and breathtaking vistas. While Gunnison is our nearest neighbor, the proximity of Kebler Pass offers a scenic summer gateway toward Aspen.
Travel Times & Transportation:
From Denver: Approximately a 4-hour drive.
From Colorado Springs: Just under 4 hours.
By Air: Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC) is a scenic 40-minute drive from the house.
Whether you arrive by car, plane, or even via the backcountry on skis or bike, the summer drive through the Rockies is an experience in itself. Once you arrive at our secluded ridge, you’ll find it is much harder to leave than it was to get here.
