Known in Crested Butte, Colo., as ‘the bunker,’ this home’s 12-inch thick walls lined with mahogany make it part ski lodge, part fortress. —Kelsey Gee
The property sits on a 0.29 acre corner lot, with a patio deck atop the building, sitting against a hill. According to one of the home’s original builder’s, Alex Laird, the surface was constructed to support additional, upward development. Because of local construction ordinances, the ‘bunker’ is the largest home in Crested Butte. It was listed in June for $3 million. Diane Aronovic of Red Lady Realty has the listing.
