Under Contract – Crested Butte Single Family Home – Corey Dwan – Benson Sotheby’s

admin — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:27:47 +0000

Corey Dwan of Benson Sotheby’s International Realty is pleased to announce the successful negotiation of another Crested Butte single family home. Offered for $830,000 705 Teocalli represents only the second home in Crested Butte in this price range to go under contract in recent times. A few days ago another home in this price range, 217 Gothic, went under contract as well. With only one sale in the $600,000 to $900,000 single family home price range in the town of Crested Butte all of last year this deal and 217 Gothic represents the start of movement of mid-priced Crested Butte homes. Last year six Crested Butte homes sold under $600,000 and 10 sold over $900,000. Forecasting an extremely mild and early summer I have feeling this will be the busiest summer for real estate sales in Gunnison County in many years.

Kelly Kotary, Aspen Gold, 8×10″, oil on panel.

Kelly Kotary

Greetings!

Please enjoy these works by Loveland, Colorado based artist Kelly Kotary. Click here to see more of her paintings.

We’ve been showing Kelly’s work since her sell out performance at the Crested Butte Plein Air Invitational last summer. Though she is one our youngest artists, Kelly holds her own at Oh Be Joyful with her distinct style. Her paintings are realist landscapes (including many plein air works done in Crested Butte), but all include a perfectly placed bit of abstraction that keeps us coming back for more.

What do you think of Kelly’s works? Do you recognize any of these spots around town?

Hope you are well.

Best,

Ivy, Sarah, Shaun and Dawn
