Strategically positioned so that the sights and sounds of rushing water flow into every room, this custom log home on 88 acres is only 7 paved miles from Steamboat Springs. The 4,800 sf custom log home sits inside a gentle bend of the Elk River, only a few feet from the banks-a coveted location that can no longer be duplicated under current setback regulations. Specifically designed to take advantage of the views of the 1/3 mile river corridor and manicured grounds, the home features an intelligent floor plan with 4 bedroom suites on 2 levels and a rec room over the three-car garage. The 2,520 sf Morton building provides extra storage, a woodworking room, and 2 horse stalls with adjoining wood-fenced paddocks. The property has a highly productive, irrigated native grass hay meadow that is perimeter-fenced. The opposite side of the river, easily accessible after high water, is very protected and loaded with wildlife. Open meadows, aspen groves, and pine forests provide a relatively undisturbed habitat that, coupled with the river corridor, acts as a critical sanctuary, hosting an abundance of native species. The property consists of a 6-acre parcel with the improvements; the remaining 82 acres add a surprisingly private buffer from neighboring properties. Steamboat Springs is an easy drive and has great shopping, excellent dining, and that world-famous powder skiing! For additional recreation, Red Dirt trailhead, which accesses over 1M acres of National Forest and stretches into Wyoming, is just a half mile. The trailhead also hosts another 2 miles of fishing on the Elk. Clark, a scenic 10-mile drive north, is a quaint community with a store, deli, and summertime ice cream on the deck. Just a few miles beyond Clark are several high mountain lakes and 2 State parks. Properties with live water do not often come on the market, and the proximity to the river cannot be duplicated. The magical setting so close to a popular resort town is nothing short of extraordinary.
