Perched high above the valley in Mt. Crested Butte, 53 Anthracite Drive — known as “The Chalet” — captures the essence of elevated mountain living. I was honored to represent the buyer in the successful purchase of this extraordinary property, which sold for $2,325,000 on May 1, 2026. Originally recognized for its award-winning architecture inspired by the historic mining heritage of Crested Butte, the home blends timeless alpine character with thoughtful modern upgrades. From the moment you step inside, the soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and dramatic mountain views create a warm and unforgettable setting designed for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying every season in the Rockies.
Extensively renovated in 2022 by local builder Mike Wright of Wright Angle Construction, the property received major exterior and interior improvements including new siding, roofing, windows, doors, updated furnishings, and enhanced outdoor living spaces. The spacious primary suite is truly a showpiece, featuring towering ceilings and panoramic views stretching across the surrounding peaks and valley below. With four bedrooms, multiple bonus spaces, a fully remodeled guest apartment, and direct access to skiing, hiking, and mountain biking trails, this home offered an exceptional combination of luxury, adventure, and flexibility. Properties like 53 Anthracite Drive continue to showcase why buyers are drawn to the unmatched lifestyle and beauty found in the Crested Butte area.
