Nestled along the meandering banks of the famed Elk River less than 5 minutes from Steamboat Springs, this one-of-a-kind 490+/- deeded acre ranch with a 7,500+/- acre U.S. Forest Service lease features outstanding improvements, productive meadows, wildlife, scenery and excellent fishing on nearly two miles of trout-filled water. The lush river bottom is lined with mature cottonwood trees and the balance of the land is in irrigated meadows and upland pasture, together attracting a variety of wildlife. The river has been professionally enhanced to improve habitat and to increase both the quality of fish and quantity of fishable water. The attractive ranch compound exudes rustic western charm, combining custom crafted residential and agricultural buildings of newer construction with fully restored historic structures. The property’s facilities are specifically designed to support equestrian activities as well as sustainable cattle and haying operations. From this ranch’s convenient l. Basement: NONE
