Introducing Mad Mountain Ranch, a very rare opportunity on 213 acres just a short 6 miles from downtown Steamboat and this exceptional property offers over ½ mile of Elk River frontage and private water fishing. The views truly are spectacular in every direction. Bordering National Forest on 2 sides with a variety of terrain including meadow to heavy timber, you can meander through miles of maintained trails on foot, horseback or ATV. The entrance to the Hot Springs Trail, Forest Service Trail 1171, and the Mad Creek Trail Head are literally out your back door with access to thousands of acres of National Forest beyond. In addition to private fishing on the Elk, the property features a well-stocked, roughly 1.5 acre pond for easier fishing success and it’s a lovely place for picnics by the water. Hot Spring Creek makes its way through the property and several ditches boast excellent senior water rights dating back to 1904 which provide irrigation water and a plentiful supply to fill the pond. The 4 bedroom/4 bath home is air conditioned. Caretaker’s quarters offer a great option for an on-site property manager. The primary bedroom is an updated, newer addition with vaulted ceilings, spacious bath with dual vanities, jetted tub and walk-in shower, plus a large walk-in closet. The main living area boasts lots of newer windows with spectacular views and is surrounded by a huge patio with fire pit, a lovely place for festive outdoor gatherings or casual summer dining. The well has a 1000-gallon cistern and a 32 KW generator provides additional peace of mind. There is an older barn on the property with a workshop, and a 1600 sq. ft., heated equipment barn/shop to store all the recreational toys, tractors and gear. There are no covenants, so your options are endless. So, bring the horses and ride off into the National Forest, fish along your private stretch of the Elk River, groom cross country ski trails or even snow-mobile in your meadow.

As winter loosens its grip on the Colorado mountains, a quiet transformation sweeps across the rugged landscape. The heavy snowpack begins to melt, feeding crystalline streams that tumble down the slopes, their icy waters sparkling in the strengthening sunlight. Patches of green emerge through the retreating drifts, and the first hardy wildflowers—pasque flowers and glacier lilies—brave the chill to dot the meadows with color. Wildlife stirs from its winter dormancy: elk and mule deer descend to graze on tender shoots, while songbirds return, filling the crisp air with bursts of melody. Though pockets of snow still linger on the highest peaks, the valleys below awaken in a symphony of renewal, promising the long-awaited return of spring. -

In early May, the Colorado mountains breathe in a quiet, shimmering pause between snow and bloom. The peaks still wear their white crowns, dissolving slowly beneath a gentler sun, while the valleys below stir awake, brushed with the tender greens of aspen buds and the soft blush of wildflowers rising through thawing earth. Streams, newly unbound, sing down the slopes with silver tongues, and the air carries the bright, tentative songs of birds returned to the high country. Elk drift like shadows through emerald meadows, and every breeze tastes of meltwater and pine. It is a moment suspended—where winter exhales and spring, with a quiet smile, begins to speak. -

By the end of April, the Colorado Mountains begin to awaken in earnest from their long winter slumber. While snow still lingers on the peaks and shaded trails, the lower elevations are coming alive with the first real signs of spring—greening meadows, budding aspens, and the occasional burst of wildflowers. Streams swell with snowmelt, rushing down from the heights in a lively chorus, and wildlife activity picks up as elk, deer, and bears emerge from the quiet of winter. The days grow noticeably longer and warmer, with the sun hanging a little higher and stronger in the sky. It’s a time of vibrant contrast, where skis and hiking boots might both be found in the trunk of a local’s car—ready for whatever the day brings.
