About Buckhorn Ranch
Established in 2001. Managed by volunteer board members elected by residents.
We are a small, friendly community of 150+ homes and condos located in beautiful Crested Butte, Colorado. Our goals are to maintain property values, keep our neighborhood safe & beautiful, and foster good neighbor relationships through compassionate outreach and leadership.
Our vision is to develop and sustain a desirable, natural, well-maintained mountain community supported by respectful, caring, and kind neighbors, who collaborate to preserve the beauty, safety, and value of our properties and our natural surroundings, while also helping to maintain the uniqueness of our broader Crested Butte community.
The Board serves homeowners by taking a fair, ethical, and objective approach in representing the interest of everyone who lives in Buckhorn Ranch.
In achieving our vision and fulfilling our mission, we value honesty, integrity, transparency, fairness, firmness, equity, efficiency, common sense, community participation, respect, cooperation, and neighborliness in all our actions.

Soon you will receive an email from Toad Property and ivoteHOA with instructions on how to vote to allow us to build our post office building. Members will have 45 days to vote. Due to being a covenant amendment we need more than just a simple majority, 51% of property owners will need to vote yes for this measure to pass. To be clear, if you don't vote it's the same as a no vote. We need everybody's involvement to get this much need amenity through.
New Buckhorn Ranch Sign
We've been working hard on getting a replacement sign and its finally ready to get installed. It took almost a year to get the design nailed down and contractor selected.
Most of the preparations are done and the project should start sometime in June. If you have any questions please reach out!
The sign will be located at the intersection of North and S. Avion roads, near where the sign used to span the road, but closer to the runway.
Please do not cross the landing strip!
Over the years we have had many incidents of people walking across the runway. This is extremely dangerous as it is unpredictable when airplanes are in use. We will be adding more warning signs this summer to alert people unaware. Please do your best and go around the landing strip at all times.
