One of the most coveted areas in all of Steamboat! This truly unique property in Strawberry Park has 21 acres of flourishing aspen forest surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest land. Just 10 minutes to downtown and fifteen minutes to the Ski Area, this combination of convenience with a peaceful setting is one you may only come across in Steamboat once every decade. This property offers abundant privacy, a spacious home, fenced pasture, nostalgic mountain barn, and flourishing gardens. Not to mention diverse and usable acreage where you can hike, sled, snowshoe, horse-back ride, garden, and watch wildlife right outside your door. Across the street is Elk Park Trail offering quiet and convenient access to the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness and the Continental Divide. On the property is a natural spring (adjudicated in 1890), which feeds 2 small ponds and supplies water for irrigation & the home. In conjunction to all of this natural beauty you get a 5 bedroom/4.5 bathroom home, in-floor heating throughout, 8-inch thick walls, a brand new metal roof, and a towering wood burning fireplace built by a third generation Steamboat mason. Once inside the home, you will immediately notice the attention to detail and the high-end finishes throughout. Beautiful white oak flooring & accents, a Zen-full indoor sunspace, and floor-to-ceiling windows give the space a calming ambiance while nodding to the natural surroundings. Enjoy views from every window including the Ski Area, Soda Mountain, Buffalo Pass and Crystal Peak. Outside is a hand-crafted adobe pizza oven on the patio is perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet evening under the stars–watching for and listening to the animals. Hiking & snowshoe trails meander through the acreage, up Copper Ridge and into the National Forest for year-round exploring. This home offers the best of both worlds – a comfortable living space, surrounded by some of the most beautiful and untouched natural scenery in the country.
