Take in breathtaking views from Deep Creek Meadows Ranch, an inspiring 418.43 acre, fully fenced gentleman’s ranch located in the Elk River Valley just 20 miles from Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This property has it all: an impressive main home, a guesthouse, running water, ponds, water rights, irrigated meadows, privacy, and views. The rolling property has excellent water rights with approximately 250 acres of irrigated hay meadows, Deep Creek running through, and 4 ponds providing a nature lovers paradise. The property supports 180 head of cattle and 250 tons of hay during the summer months. The 3,500 sq. ft. main home was designed after Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie Style and is all on one level with 4 bedrooms plus an office. The bright and sunny living room is surrounded by windows and shares a grand, 2-sided wood burning fireplace with the formal dining room. For someone longing for some privacy on a cold winter day, there is also a cozy family room with a fireplace. The attached 3-car garage is heated with a workshop area. A covered front porch is the perfect rocking chair spot, and the sun-drenched back deck is a spectacular place to watch the deer and the antelope play. The craftsmanship is apparent as soon as one crosses over the threshold, and you’ll find warm, custom details throughout the home. When friends and family come visiting, the 2 bedroom, 2 bath guesthouse is located just steps away. With a contemporary feel, the living and dining area has an abundance of natural light pouring into the open space design and is so comfortable your guests will never want to leave. A large hay shed gives ample storage for hay crops, and the enclosed equipment barn is large enough to keep the tractors and implements out of the weather. The panoramic views of the Zirkel Wilderness, Wolf Mountain, Pilot Nob, and Buck Mountain help create a magnificent backdrop for this beautiful ranch. Conservation easement on property is held by Yampa Valley Land Trust.
