Steamboat's Elk River Valley Ranch

Property Description:

One of the best deals in the Steamboat Market!

Located 10 miles north of Steamboat Springs in the lush Elk River Valley, you’ll find these pastoral acres and comfortable western log home. 

This ranch lies in the fertile valley floor flanked by large ranches which are protected by conservation easements limiting future development.  This 262 acre property has also been placed into conservation with an emphasis on protecting the agricultural and wildlife habitat values of the property. Extensive ditches provide the water for flood irrigation in the hay meadows and cross fencing allows for easy pasture rotation.  From the cottonwood covered riparian area on the northern portion of the ranch and the lush irrigated hay ground to the grazing pastures around the headquarters, this ranch meets the needs of both livestock and wildlife alike, not to mention those needs for peace and quiet we humans can satisfy when we get back to our roots. 

From the 4000 sf log home situated in a park like setting, you can take in the views of the Sleeping Giant Mountain with its ever-changing display of season specific color.

The home enjoys a warm, bright sunroom located off of the great room and overlooks landscaped grounds. The living and dining area features vaulted ceilings and a massive river rock fireplace.  A breakfast nook in the kitchen area for less formal meals looks over the pond and is a wonderful place to sit and watch the resident ducks and sandhill cranes. The home is well suited for entertaining with a large kitchen featuring granite countertops. The second floor loft with its warm wood log railing has enough space for two seating areas and is also complimented by a river rock hearth. Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on this floor, as well.

The master suite on the main level of the home was added on in 2004 and provides luxury living space with unparalleled views and privacy.  The Jacuzzi tub and steam shower, walk in closet and office/sitting room are all part of this comfortable addition.

This home is located on the southern boundary of the property, near the year round county maintained gravel road.  The beautifully landscaped yard provides peaceful outdoor living space and the gazebo is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of tea and feel the weather change.

The ranch is ideally set up for a livestock operation with several outbuildings including a large, restored barn, a caretaker cabin, and a heated shop.

The setting of this Elk River Valley Ranch and it’s proximity to Steamboat Springs allow you to easily transition from the hustle and bustle of town to the peaceful solitude of a picture perfect place in the country.
