the heart of Steamboat’s Elk River Valley, is 35 productive acres with a custom-built home and highly sought after private Elk River frontage. The property is 12 paved miles from downtown’s boutique shops, fine restaurants, and art galleries. It is a quick commute to powder skiing at the state’s 2nd largest ski area. Easily accessed from the year-round county road, the home was entirely rebuilt in 2018 with a brand new roof completed in May 2024. The 5 bedroom, 9 bath home blends modern design features with traditional materials. An impressive stone fireplace is flanked by backlit wood beams in the great room adjacent to a chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, granite counters, and a walk-in pantry. A western saloon is perfectly set up for entertainment in a sophisticated, intimate atmosphere. The main-level primary suite provides a retreat with a fireplace, deep soaking tub, yoga studio, and access to the screened-in porch. A guest wing has 3 bedrooms and its own private den with warm wood accents and a stone fireplace. The upper level has a spacious 8-bed bunkroom, a TV room, and customized bathrooms. The same attention to detail extends to the outdoor space with a massive stone fireplace under a covered deck surrounded by attractive landscaping. The irrigated meadows beyond the home produce waist-high native grass hay. The main stem of the Elk River plus two smaller channels offer excellent fishing as they flow through the park-like western end of the land. The diverse and healthy ecosystem attracts and supports the big game, small game, and avian species found in NW Colorado. Intentionally set up to entertain and relax, the ranch has served as a luxury family gathering spot for the 17 members of three generations. With a custom home and land loaded with recreational amenities, close proximity to the Steamboat, the slopes, the regional airport, and the vast expanse of national forest, it is unique among luxury mountain properties.
