Routt County - 42070 County Road 129, Steamboat Springs, CO
The Ski Town Ranch encompasses 1,000 acres and borders the Steamboat Springs city limits. The ranch shares a 2-mile boundary with BLM and the 1.25M-acre Routt National Forest. The ranch is only 3 miles from downtown and is accessed by paved, year-round county roads. It is one of the largest privately-owned holdings bordering Steamboat and it is the largest offering near town on the market. The headquarters area is a comfortable 6,800 feet in elevation while the upper reaches of the ranch and the adjacent public land top out at over 8,000 feet. The lower portion of the ranch consists of irrigated meadows on gently rolling hills punctuated by pockets of Gambel oaks. The middle elevations are home to spring-fed ponds hidden among large swaths of aspen and fern forests. The higher slopes near the national forest consist of rocky outcroppings and stands of coniferous trees. Numerous ridges and valleys along with the variety of ecosystems within the ranch boundary invite a wide range of birds and mammals. The springs, ponds, tree cover, and terrain on the ranch provide optimal habitat for big game; elk, deer, and bear hunting is very good both on and off of the ranch. The adjacent public land is located in an area that is difficult to reach without private land access. The ranch is modestly improved with 3 residences near the headquarters, a newer luxury hunting cabin near the forest boundary, and plenty of covered storage, barns, sheds, and corrals. It is fenced and cross-fenced for cattle with water rights that irrigate the native grass hay meadows. With most of the $200M improvements completed at the Steamboat ski resort and the growth Colorado is experiencing, this ranch presents the buyer with a unique opportunity to own a very private, unencumbered ranch on the edge of one of the nation's most desirable resort towns.

Routt County - County Road 50, Steamboat Springs, CO
Only 9 miles west of Steamboat Springs, the historic Doc Utterback Ranch consists of 1,634 deeded acres and 640 Colorado State Land Board grazing and recreation leased acres. Doc Utterback Ranch is a mosaic of qualities buyers look for in a mountain ranch: only minutes to a world-class ski resort, diverse and extensive topography ranging in elevation from 6,700 to 7,600 consisting of open dry-land meadows, aspen, fir, scrub oak forests, and riparian areas along Tow and Little Tow Creeks that traverse the property. Due to the diverse terrain, heavily wooded areas, water resources, and security that comes with larger acreages, there are significant big game attributes.
Throughout the year, mule deer, elk, bear, and mountain lion inhabit the ranch, and a first for the ranch as a cow moose was spotted. Big game hunters will value the dark timber acreages that represent great opportunities for archery and black powder hunting seasons, and as winter progresses, vast areas of aspen and scrub oak forests are ideal for the rifle hunting seasons.
Doc Utterback Ranch was settled in 1906, and due to the extensive wildlife benefitting habitat restoration, the prior third-generation owner was awarded the 2011 Upper Yampa Partnership Landowner of the Year for their significant stewardship and improvement to the ranch. Compared to other ranches, the level of stewardship is evident today in the healthy grasslands, riparian, and forested acreages across Doc Utterback Ranch. The acreage is unencumbered and presents a perfect opportunity for the conservation-minded buyer to evaluate the economic incentives of a conservation plan, including Routt Countys Purchase of Development Rights program.
The ranch boundary was completely fenced in 2015 with a slick wire fence that is big game friendly. The property includes nine adjudicated springs. Doc Utterback Ranch is a diverse recreational property with impressive wildlife habitat.

The layout of the land features gradual to steep ridges and well protected valleys that consist of aspens, oak brush and pines with open meadows that ultimately incline into timber slopes with thick pockets. An abundance of springs that feed into numerous ponds with reservoir rights provide an ample water supply for the ranch. As a result of the habitat, vegetation, and water, resident populations of elk and deer can often be spotted at any time while exploring the ranch, and occasionally a moose and/or bear!
The ranch is accessed via a private road off paved and year-round maintained County Road 27 and CR 37. The interior roads are excellent for easy navigation through the ranch.

History
Historically, the Routt County area was home to nomadic Ute Indians before the mid-nineteenth century, when gold discoveries near Hahn's Peak, above the Elk River valley, attracted white prospectors. Ranchers and farmers followed the miners, taking advantage of the area's fertile river valleys. Steamboat Springs was originally named for the sound of the hot springs along the river making the chug, chug sound of a steamboat. There are many accounts of the vast herds of wildlife in the area as settlers came into the valley and that still holds true today with large herds of elk, mule deer and pronghorn antelope covering the landscape.

There are approximately 4 miles of Slater Creek running the length of the property. On this portion of the creek, there is excellent brook trout and cutthroat trout fishing.
Land
The many curves and natural holes produce excellent fish habitat and are home to beavers and muskrats alike. The south boundary is 4 miles of Routt National Forest and makes the views from the base of Elk Head Mountains second to none. A good mix of long alpine meadows and sagebrush ridges gives way to aspen groves and classic pine forest mixed in along the back edge of the property.
Additionally, Green Creek, Grizzly Creek, and Douglas Creek are all tributaries of Slater Creek and offer approximately 1 mile each of live water year-round.

Recreation
The ranch is currently collectively enrolled in the Ranching for Wildlife program with other ranches in the area. Under current management, the wildlife and habitat are managed for quality to produce better quality feed and habitat as well as older age class elk, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope. The program allows landowners to maximize their opportunity to utilize their property in exchange for public access on a limited basis. The ranches do yearly habitat projects such as brush and timber mitigation and water projects to enhance the availability of quality feed and water.
Colorado Ranching for Wildlife is a cooperative program with private landowners and Colorado Parks and Wildlife that includes incentives to improve habitat on private land. Landowners create diverse plant communities that benefit wildlife throughout the year by managing grazing systems, working on various habitat improvement projects, and developing viable water sources. These well-managed lands provide essential habitat for various species, including grassland-nesting birds, migratory ungulates such as elk, mule deer, and pronghorn, as well as any other wildlife within the ecosystem and pollinators. The program introduced in 1986 was designed to give public hunters access to private ranches. Still, in turn, a considerable benefit allows private landowners to dictate their season dates for optimal hunting opportunities. For landowners, the elk and pronghorn season is a 90-day season that coincides with any open public season. The Mule Deer season is a 60-day season. The RFW license is a weapon of choice license.
RFW is limited to ranches with at least 10,000 contiguous acres that contain a significant number of species for which licenses can be drawn. These species include elk, mule deer, and pronghorn on the Slater Creek Ranch.
In addition to hunting, that ranches have a great road system through out the property provides additional recreational opportunities that include hiking, mountain biking, UTV and snowmobiling.
