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 river corridor and manicured grounds, the home features an intelligent floor plan with 4 bedroom suites on two 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 River. 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.
