Deerwood Lane Estate

 

Located in the south valley of Steamboat Springs, this custom-built home rests on 38 acres, surrounded by a picturesque aspen grove teeming with birds and wildlife year-round. Thoughtfully designed, the intelligent floorplan separates the master wing and guest wing with a central great room, offering both privacy and easy gathering spaces. The kitchen opens to the living and dining areas, where impressive hand-hewn beams highlight the architectural elegance of the vaulted ceilings. Outfitted with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, granite counters, a large pantry, and bar seating, the kitchen is ideal for chef-worthy cooking and entertaining. The dining area comfortably accommodates a large table and buffet, while the living room features a stone fireplace with a striking antique mantel. The master wing provides convenient access to the laundry room and a private office. The master suite enjoys views of the landscaped yard and surrounding aspens, and includes a five-piece bath with a steam shower, jetted tub, double sinks, separate water closet, and an adjacent walk-in closet with custom shelving and ample hanging space. The guest wing offers a spacious den (currently used as a bunk room), a hall powder room, and two inviting guest suites, each with its own en-suite bath. A mudroom with built-in storage connects to the oversized three-car garage, complete with fresh epoxy flooring. Outdoor living is as well-designed as the interior, featuring a wide deck that spans the length of the home, a beautiful back deck, and a professionally landscaped yard with an irrigation system. Additional improvements include a 5-bay enclosed equipment building and a versatile barn with finished space for recreational vehicles and room to customize for horses. Water is provided by a neighboring central system, and a pond is fed by a decreed spring. Set at the end of the road in a private valley with no covenants, the property offers rare seclusion just 12 miles from Steamboat Springs.

Location

Deerwood Lane Estate is located 12 miles from Steamboat Springs. Steamboat is home to the state’s second-largest ski resort and has amenities often reserved for larger cities.  About half of the county consists of public land, making unlimited outdoor recreation within a few minutes’ drive in any direction.  The  Yampa Valley Regional Airport, with direction connections around the nation, is about a half-hour drive.  

Land

The land is well blocked and the house is tucked into a large aspen grove that backs up against a gently sloping hillside. The east end of the property is a large and level pasture that is fenced with a buck and rail fence.  A spring-fed pond supplies water for livestock and wildlife.  

Recreational Amenities

The property is within a half-hour drive to world class downhill skiing at the Steamboat ski area.  Howelsen Hill ski area, owned by the City of Steamboat Springs, is open to the public and is also the training ground for the myriad of Olympians who call Steamboat home. The area is home to several wildly scenic 18-hole golf courses; two of them transform into cross country ski trail systems in the winter.  Stagecoach Lake, an 820 acre reservoir loaded with trout (as well as some giant northern pike), is a 10 mile drive.  Numerous lakes, rivers, and streams are in the area south of town as are miles of trails on the nearby public land.  The entire region is prized for its year-round recreation in one of the most scenic areas of the nation. 

Agricultural Aspects

The barn has been used for horses in the past and could easily be fitted with indoor stalls and outdoor runs to accommodate horses again.  An open lean-to in the meadow provides shelter for animals and has additional room for storage.  The property is fenced and cross-fenced with buck and rail fencing.  It has traditionally been leased to a nearby rancher for summer cattle grazing.
