Only 9 miles west of Steamboat Springs, Co the historic Doc Utterback Ranch consists of 1634+- deeded acres and contiguous 640+- Colorado State grazing and recreation leased acres. The Doc Utterback Ranch is a mosaic of qualities and recreational attributes that buyer’s looks for in a mountain ranch. Close proximity to a world class ski resort, diverse and extensive topography ranging in elevation from 6800’ to 7600’ consisting of open meadows, aspen, fir, scrub oak forests and riparian areas along Tow and Little Tow Creeks that traverse the property. Due to the diverse terrain, heavily wooded areas and security that comes with larger acreages, there are significant big game on the ranch. Throughout the year deer, elk, bear and mountain lion inhabit the ranch. Big game hunters will value the dark timber acreages that represent great opportunities for archery and black powder hunting seasons and as winter progresses vast areas of aspen and scrub oak forests ideal for the rifle hunting seasons.
Doc Utterback Ranch was settled in 1906 and due to the extensive wildlife benefitting habitat restoration, the past third generation owner was awarded the 2011 Upper Yampa Partnership Landowner of the Year for their significant stewardship and improvement to the ranch. When compared to other ranches, the level of stewardship is evident today with the healthy grasslands, riparian and forested acreages across the Doc Utterback Ranch.

Property includes adjudicated springs spread across the ranch. Doc Utterback Ranch is a diverse recreational property with impressive wildlife habitat.
