The outstanding views from the homesite include Axtell Mountain to the west and the Slate River Valley below. The tract has an appealing building site with abundant mature spruce trees and attractive meadows with natural grasses ready to enjoy. The 440’x250’level building site sits high atop the side of Baxter Gulch, above the valley floor, and extends down the hill to the center line of the Gulch. The Baxter Gulch Trail crosses the lower portion. The grand views from the home are accentuated and preserved by the hill dropping below. The property is located just 6 miles from the Town of Crested Butte, a 15-minute drive on well-maintained roads, at the end of Saddle Ridge Road on Gibson Ridge. Owners at Trapper’s Crossing at Wildcat have the option to build a large home, a barn, garage and guest house. The Wildcat community has the Green Lake Trail for hiking to the beautiful alpine lake on Axtell Mountain or to downtown Crested Butte. Arriving is a joy from the private gate on winding Wildcat Trail through the evergreen forest just west of Crested Butte up to the level, forested homesite set beneath the imposing view of the Whetstone Mountain summit, just 2.1 miles away. 980 Saddle Ridge Road is a remarkable property to build a custom home on a large, level site in a quality community. This lot is a stand-out opportunity to own a prized 52-acre homesite for those wanting privacy, natural beauty and open space all in close proximity to alpine skiing, mountain adventures and the amenities and enjoyments of Crested Butte.
