A new chapter of luxurious alpine living has begun in the heart of the Rockies with the announcement of Beckwith Residences, an exclusive collection of high-end ski-in/ski-out homes at the base of Mt. Crested Butte. Currently accepting reservations, the residences are part of a visionary redevelopment of the Elevation Hotel & Spa, with completion slated for Winter 2026/27.
Positioned in one of Colorado’s most scenic and pristine alpine locations, Beckwith Residences is poised to become a premier address for travelers and homeowners seeking a blend of luxury, nature, and adventure.
A Rare Opportunity in a Prime Mountain Location
Set at the base of Mt. Crested Butte, the Beckwith Residences offer unrivaled access to world-class skiing, rich wilderness, and panoramic views. This year-round destination is perfect for outdoor lovers—with winter sports dominating the snowy months and hiking, mountain biking, and fly-fishing defining the summer season.
The nearby Crested Butte Mountain Resort is renowned for its expansive terrain and diverse slopes catering to all skill levels—from beginners to experts. Skiers and snowboarders alike will appreciate the direct lift access just steps from their door. And when the snow melts, adventure continues with alpine trails through the Gunnison National Forest and the surrounding Elk Mountains.
Architectural Elegance Meets Modern Comfort
The Beckwith project will feature 56 exclusive private villas and mansions, along with 60 contemporary-style suites, including deluxe penthouses. Each residence has been designed with premium materials, spacious floor plans, and elegant finishes that merge modern comfort with rustic charm.
Standout features include:
- Floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic mountain views
- Private hot tubs and plunge pools
- Fireplaces and heated flooring
- Designer kitchens and spa-inspired bathrooms
A particularly unique offering is the Lighthouse Suite, a two-bedroom villa converted from a historical military lighthouse. While the “Tyrrhenian Sea” reference was an editorial error, the property’s mountaintop location does offer 360-degree views over the Rocky Mountains, setting a new standard for alpine luxury.
Wellness and Culture at Your Fingertips
Crested Butte has long been a cultural haven. Beckwith enhances this appeal with on-site wellness facilities, including:
- A full-service spa and thermal baths
- Yoga and meditation pavilions
- Fitness center with altitude training equipment
- Guided alpine treks and nature immersion programs
The development is also in proximity to downtown Crested Butte, where guests and residents can experience local art galleries, music festivals, and farm-to-table dining. Future programming may include cooking classes with local chefs and cultural workshops in collaboration with regional artisans.
Sustainable Luxury and Eco-Conscious Living
Beckwith Residences is deeply committed to environmental sustainability. Landscaping will use native Colorado flora to reduce irrigation needs, while the buildings will incorporate energy-efficient systems, solar power integration, and green building materials.
This commitment ensures that luxury living doesn’t come at the cost of the environment. The property’s design aligns with Crested Butte’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainable tourism and protect its fragile mountain ecosystems, a goal shared by the Town of Mt. Crested Butte and the Gunnison County Sustainable Tourism and Outdoor Recreation Committee (STOR).
All-Season Experiences and Recreational Variety
Whether seeking adrenaline or tranquility, Beckwith offers something for every lifestyle. Planned features include:
- 11 outdoor thermal pools and seawater soaking tubs
- Golf simulator and private putting greens
- Outdoor amphitheater and social lounges
- Winter activities: cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing
- Summer adventures: wildflower hikes, alpine climbing, and scenic mountain biking
The development also offers proximity to Slate River Valley, Paradise Divide, and the Oh Be Joyful trailhead, giving nature lovers unrivaled access to Colorado’s iconic outdoor landmarks.
A Coveted Investment in Crested Butte Real Estate
Crested Butte has emerged as one of the top destinations for luxury mountain real estate, and Beckwith Residences taps into this surging demand. The limited inventory, prime location, and robust amenities position this offering as a strong investment opportunity. According to local real estate data, property values in Mt. Crested Butte have seen a steady upward trend, driven by remote work demand and year-round tourism.
In addition to personal enjoyment, owners can also benefit from short-term rental income, thanks to Crested Butte’s popularity with high-end travelers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Conclusion: Beckwith Beckons the Future of Mountain Living
As Colorado continues to attract discerning travelers and lifestyle buyers, Beckwith Residences represents the next evolution in mountain living—offering not just a home, but a lifestyle immersed in luxury, wellness, and nature. With its thoughtful design, prime location, and commitment to sustainability, Beckwith is more than a real estate project—it’s a legacy investment.
