This spectacular ranch offers views in every direction consisting of 87 acres and located just 6 miles from Steamboat Springs. 

The upper ridge consists of roughly 15 acres of hay meadow where the home is situated with spectacular 360 views including the Elk River, Sleeping Giant, Hahn’s Peak and the Steamboat Ski Area. The lower portion of the land offers roughly a mile among two channels of the Elk River offering some of Northwest Colorado’s most coveted fly-fishing waters.

There are wonderful outdoor living spaces situated to overlook the river including a covered patio with a custom Parilla-style wood fired grill. It’s easy to entertain a crowd or simply enjoy the spectacular scenery. Thoughtful xeriscape graces the exterior of the home allowing for a beautiful landscape with a conscientious approach to our environment.
