47 Watters Crested Butte, CO 81224

Easy access to this protected view lot in CB South. Near all the amenities CB South has to offer and a quick jaunt puts you on 135 heading north or south. All the neighboring houses that are in the view shed are built, except one that will be tucked between the tan two story next door (with trampo...line) and the light beige stucco house with grey roof. That same light beige house and the brown house at the far end of this big, long lot are the only things in, but do not obstruct, that amazing Whetstone mountain view! A seasonal stream enters the property at the north property line, meandering down the gulch to drain mid lot onto the neighboring lot south. It can be land-sculpted into a beautiful seasonal water feature following the north property line, then turning 90 degrees to head down the bottom of the gulch at the center of the lot. Imagine sitting on your terrace, snuggled near the bottom of the gulch away from the road and prying eyes, surrounded by your flowers and trees, listening to the calm gurgle of your babbling landscaped spring-time streamlet. The large almost half-acre lot continues up the hill on the far side of the gulch ending at the dark brown house's fence and the utility box. Build your house along Watters, then cross the gulch to your fabulous, expansive garden on the far uphill side of the lot. The downward sloping nature of the Watters Court half of this oversized lot suggests stepping your home down the slope beneath and behind your on-grade garage to maximize privacy and minimize street noise without sacrificing that amazing view of Whetstone towering above your garden/backyard across the gulch. Or bridge a larger home over your garden-gulch and take advantage of 360 degrees of view from both sides of this large lot. Options abound! Continue reading
