The Flying J Ranch, in the heart of Steamboat’s Elk River Valley, is 35 productive acres with a custom-built home and highly sought-after private Elk River frontage. The property is 12 paved miles from downtown’s boutique shops, fine restaurants, and art galleries. It is a quick commute to powder skiing at the state’s 2nd largest ski area. Easily accessed from the county road, the home was entirely rebuilt in 2018 with a new roof completed in May 2024. The 5 bedroom, 9 bath home blends modern design features with traditional materials. An impressive stone fireplace anchors the great room adjacent to a chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, granite counters, and a walk-in pantry. A western saloon is ideal for entertaining in a sophisticated, intimate atmosphere. The main-level primary suite provides a retreat with a fireplace, deep soaking tub, yoga studio, and access to the screened-in porch. A guest wing has 3 bedrooms and its own private den with warm wood accents and a stone fireplace. The upper level has a spacious 8-bed bunkroom, a TV room, and customized bathrooms. The same attention to detail extends to the outdoor spaces and attractive landscaping. Watch the weather roll across the valley from east, west, or south-facing covered patios, a screened-in porch, and a covered deck with a massive stone fireplace. The irrigated meadows beyond the home produce waist-high native grass hay. The main stem of the Elk River plus two smaller channels offer excellent fishing as they flow through the park-like western end of the land. The healthy ecosystem attracts the big game, small game, and avian species found in NW Colorado. Intentionally set up to entertain and relax, the ranch has served as a luxury family gathering spot for the 17 members of three generations. With a custom home and land loaded with recreational amenities, close proximity to Steamboat, skiing, the regional airport, and the vast national forest, it is unique among luxury mountain properties.
