CRESTED BUTTE, CO, August 4, 2005. 34 years ago Dr. Richard Landy, a dentist from Denver, Colorado was approached by a Crested Butte Land Sales agent, about buying a few parcels of vacant land in Crested Butte South for $3000 a lot. Dr. Landy purchased several parcels and drove up to Crested Butte for the first time to inspect his investment.
Dr. Landy fell in love with this quaint, picturesque mountain town nestled in the backcountry of Gunnison County. Landy formed a group of investors, and purchased 280 acres of land 1/4 mile past The Country Club at Crested Butte, on Brush Creek Road, located at the southern base of Mt. Crested Butte.
After years of planning, today, the vision of Dr. Landy has evolved into one of the most exciting and unique real estate developments in Crested Butte. Buckhorn Ranch is a residential community which offers a variety of amenities to its owners unlike any other development in Colorado.
