Built along the banks of Newcomb Creek and overlooking two good sized ponds, is a custom built 3,600 ft2 log home constructed with massive Engelmann Spruce from Arizona. This home features a well appointed kitchen, dining room, living room, master bedroom with bath, an office, a reading area and two additional bathrooms. Connecting the home to an oversized two car garage with a 1,200 ft2 art studio above it, is an impressive open beam covered porch that enjoys a sauna, hot tube, dining area and a catwalk connecting the upstairs and the art studio. Spanning out over Newcomb Creek is another attached deck with an enclosed area that allows one to sit and watch as Brook Trout dart from pool to pool. Other improvements include a horse barn with pipe corrals, two large heated shops with plumbing to one for a potential apartment, and numerous other shops and barns.
Featuring almost a mile of Chedsey Creek and just under three quarters of a mile of Newcomb Creek, the Schollett Ranch is of particular interest to the avid angler. Both stone bottomed and lined with willows, Chedsey Creek is well known for its good sized Brown Trout and the occasional Rainbow and Brook Trout that lay in its deep pools. Newcomb Creek, a smaller tributary than Chedsey, has a lot more fall to it and is an excellent spot for those who prefer to go after Brookies. The lush vegetation in the creek bottoms is also ideal for habitat for Moose and is why North Park is known as the Moose Viewing Capitol of Colorado. In addition to Moose a variety of other wildlife frequent the ranch as well including Elk and Deer.
The North Park area is popular area for hunters and anglers alike. The excellent fishing in both creeks makes the Schollett Ranch a very desirable destination. The two ponds in front of the house are not stocked, but could easily be filled with trophy sized trout. Located 22 miles southwest of Walden and just 3 hours from Denver, this private retreat can be used as a year round residence, or a peaceful weekend getaway. Fine dining and shopping is available in Steamboat Springs, a popular Colorado ski resort, just 55 miles away. Rarely do properties of this caliber come on the market.
