The Lower Ranch
The Lower Ranch is a hard-to-find larger acreage ranch just north of the world-renowned resort of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. As a result of development pressure, much of the land lying close to Steamboat has been split into smaller parcels and very few parcels of this size exist. The ranch is a unique opportunity to own a pristine piece of land that has been carefully managed for generations. The ranch is a working cattle ranch with very good recreational attributes and numerous hold and exit strategies. The ranch consists of scenic terrain ranging from grassy, rolling hills to irrigated meadows. Deep Creek flows through the ranch from west to east, providing water for irrigation, livestock, and wildlife. The ranch has adjudicated ponds, springs, and ditches. The headquarters and the irrigated meadows are situated along the county road, providing easy access for trucks and equipment....
