Experience sunsets watching and listening to the river flow while you take a hot tub before enjoying dinner outside on your new patio furniture. After an exquisite meal envision retiring to the Adirondack chairs surrounding the ambiance of the fire pit while the magnitude of the stars above coming out at night to a sky so clear that you can literally see the milky way above your heads. A proven income-producing vacation rental and/or an exceptional personal, yoga, corporate retreat or simply a wonderful place to call home. 170 Lower Allen Road represents a unique combination of privacy, recreation, investment potential, and authentic Colorado mountain living. Fishing rights along the East River further enhance this remarkable offering and when you are lucky you will sight the friendly neighborhood fox that often finds his way through the yard. Offered fully furnished with carefully curated, high-end furnishings and décor, this turnkey mountain retreat is ready to be enjoyed from day one. Every detail has been thoughtfully selected to complement the home's warm mountain-modern aesthetic, creating an inviting atmosphere that is both elegant and comfortable. Whether you are seeking a private family getaway, a full-time residence, or an income-producing investment property, this exceptional, legacy offering allows you to step seamlessly into the Crested Butte lifestyle without the time, expense, or effort of furnishing a home. Designed with flexibility and functionality in mind, the property includes a fully equipped accessory dwelling unit (ADU) lockoff complete with a private entrance, 1BR/1BA, full kitchen, laundry facilities, and independent living space. This well-appointed configuration offers exceptional versatility for hosting family and friends, accommodating caretakers, or generating supplemental income.
