A landmark river property located just five miles from Steamboat Springs, the 1,113+/- acre Yampa River Ranch offers an exceptional confluence of water, fishing, location, and investment appeal. This legacy ranch boasts one of the longest contiguous stretches of private river in the entire Yampa valley, with 1.5+/- miles of the Yampa River plus another .85+/- mile of multiple side channels. The cottonwood-lined river corridor supports a highly productive fishery with diverse natural habitat that sustains healthy wild trout populations. Senior water rights supply irrigated hay meadows, which are complemented by expansive alfalfa fields. Its riparian zones and production areas provide rich habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including waterfowl, raptors, mule deer, and migratory elk. The ranch operates with limited expenses that are covered by multiple income streams. Strategically located just minutes from both the Steamboat Ski Resort and a commercial airport, the ranch enjoys premier accessibility. With no existing conservation easement, the property also presents substantial future land use flexibility and preservation potential, making it an exceptionally compelling river property with proximity to a world-class resort town.
