Steamboat Springs, Colorado Located just 7.5 paved miles north of Steamboat Springs, this parcel has hard-to-find river frontage! The 1/3 mile stretch of both sides of the Elk River is supremely private and very easy to access. It is just off of paved Routt County Road 129 with a newly graveled driveway that leads through beautiful pastures and forest land to the river corridor. The acreage north of the river (approximately 23) is completely covered in cottonwoods and pines, providing a private and quiet setting along the banks of the river. The south bank of the river is flanked by a steep hillside loaded with game trails that wind through the thick pine forest. The remaining acreage on the south side of the Elk, accessible from late summer through winter, is a level and rolling aspen-covered bench that attracts elk, deer, bear, and an occasional moose. The property is very close to the Routt National Forest as well as an additional 2 miles of public fishing on the Elk River. A property with live water so close to a renowned resort town, no covenants, and great privacy is not easy to find; this one checks all of those boxes!
