Land with Home for Sale in Steamboat Springs, Colorado
27940 W US Highway 40, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487
One of a kind is often said in real estate. On this landmark Steamboat-area ranch, it actually fits.
Just outside Steamboat Springs, where the Yampa Valley opens beneath the ski-area skyline, this 11.15-acre farm and ranch property offers a rare combination of usable land, dedicated water rights, irrigated pasture, historic character, wildlife, privacy, and close access to one of Colorado’s most beloved mountain towns.
East of the new Sleeping Giant School and south of Marabou Ranch, this Steamboat landmark sits in a corridor where close-to-town acreage with water, pasture, and equestrian usability has become exceptionally scarce.
Irrigated hay ground, pasture, fencing, and water rights support horses, hobby ranching, gardening, conservation-minded ownership, or preservation of a private Yampa Valley landscape. Cloudbreak Pond adds beauty, utility, irrigation support, and habitat where sandhill cranes are known to frequent.
The original 1927 cabin offers 1,464 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, complemented by a two-story whitewashed barn, horse sheds, shop, chicken coop, pig hut, fencing, and outbuildings that give the property authentic working-ranch texture.
For the equestrian, artist, bird lover, or land investor, it offers the rarest version of
Steamboat living: rural without being remote, historic without being frozen in time, and private without sacrificing convenience.
Offered at $3,475,000, this one-of-a-kind Routt County ranch is water, land, wildlife, horses, history, and mountain views held together by an unmistakable sense of place.
Inclusions are all landscape boulders on property, 2 horse sheds, chicken coop and pig hut.
