Descriptions
Held by the same family since 1915, the 712 deeded acre Brown Ranch on the Elk River is a designated Centennial Ranch sited along the banks of the Elk River outside of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This superb landmark holding possesses nearly .75 mile of private Elk River frontage with quality fly fishing, a privately held mountain, and borders national forest all within a short drive of amenities and the Steamboat Ski Area.
With a notable Elk River Valley location, the Brown Ranch is known for its river frontage, diverse landscape, and panoramic views encompassing most of northern Routt Countys notable mountains and peaks. The ranchs lower western flank incorporates willow and cottonwood-lined frontage on both banks of the trout-laden Elk River. The riparian corridor is in turn, encompassed by lush hay meadows and pasturelands. Improvements are modest and include a small, historic ranch house and outbuildings tucked amongst old-growth trees along the banks of the river. The eastern side of the ranch is unimproved and rises dramatically from the river bottom and into aspen groves and stands of pine before topping off at the privately held peak of Round Mountain. From the summit of Round Mountain, the acreage extends eastward and into a private valley. Elevation rises from the floor of this valley to the ranchs eastern border with the Routt National Forest. Brown Ranch is not encumbered by any conservation easements, however it is a prime candidate for conservation. Notable ranches bordering the property have been conserved and as such, future owners of Brown Ranch are assured the Elk River Valley will carry its natural and agricultural integrity into the future.
