County Road 41, Steamboat Springs, CO, 80487

This location is a gem, especially in the broader context of Routt County and the Steamboat Springs area. Having both the feeling of serene privacy in nature and being just a short drive to downtown Steamboat, located on a plateau at the top of a hill, and having mature vegetation. This lot is located on the road with minimal vehicular traffic while also being a popular mountain bike route are just a few of the unique attributes of this site. Top of the world views, no HOA, no covenants, and only 9 miles to Steamboat Springs! This 26.06-acre parcel was initially purchased in 2007 from BLM as part of the Emerald Mountain Land Exchange, creating the Emerald Mountain Recreation Area, which is only 1.5 miles from the parcel. Building plans are included in the sale. A few specific features of the home designed for this lot include how it accommodates the slope and how the floor plan takes advantage of the southern sunlight and expansive views. Specifically, the house sits upon the site so sunlight enters every room, so you can start sipping your coffee in front of the fireplace every morning while watching the sun rise over Steamboat ski mountain. The driveway finds its way up the hill to the plateau at the highest point on the site, with a grove of pine trees to the north and stunning views to the east and south. The house takes advantage of what makes this site so unique, the views, the sun, and the privacy. The site is high and flat where it needs to be and falls south, so the structure can take advantage of the topography and how southern light enters the lower level. It has ventilation and stunning views that span north to Hahn’s Peak, the Steamboat ski mtn, over Big Valley Ranch, and south to the Flat Tops. The building envelope provides an owner with less confined building options than other parcels, with a gentle access road directly to the top: including an expansive well permit and low Ag tax status.
