The oversized two-car garage includes a dog wash station with hot and cold water and ample room for recreational gear and equipment. The home also features a roof lightning protection system and valley and eave electric heaters designed to prevent ice dams. Impressively, the roof has never required snow shoveling and has never experienced ice dams. Adding to the home’s uniqueness, acclaimed sculptor Rosalind Cook is including several significant limited-edition bronze sculptures with the sale. Intentionally commissioned and placed within the architecture of the residence, these collectible works further enhance the home’s artistic character. 969 Skyland Drive is a one-of-a-kind Crested Butte retreat combining unmatched views, timeless craftsmanship, artistic character, and immediate access to the premier lifestyle and amenities of Skyland and The Club at Crested Butte.
