Only 6 paved miles from Steamboat Springs lies this pristine 144-acre working ranch with unobstructed views in all directions. Every acre of the ranch is usable, gently sloping land with productive hay pastures, rolling hills for grazing, and beautiful vistas taking in the surrounding beauty. These features of the landscape create a sanctuary where a wide variety of birds and wildlife coexist with the resident ranch animals. The property has every attribute of a high-quality ranch, including year-round ponds and springs, fencing and cross fencing, a working outdoor round pen, a large insulated Morton barn with in-floor plumbing in place and running water, and a restored historic barn that contains a tack room, additional hay storage, and shelter for the animals with an automatic drinking water supply. Should a future owner want to convert the existing home to a guest home or ranch manager's living space, the property allows for one additional building site that is extremely private with incredible view corridors. The current residence is a newer home with a gourmet chef's kitchen, a main-level master suite, great outdoor living areas, and spectacular views. This is a rare opportunity to own a ranch very close to town, with the opportunity to build a larger custom home or simply move in and enjoy all the elbow room as the property currently exists. The land has been protected in conservation for generations to enjoy.
