Grouse Ridge Lane, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487 - Routt County

Just west of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Black Cat at 480 Ranch is 113 acres bordering Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land and Colorado State Land Board acreage. Due to the remoteness, suitable topography, a mix of mountain forests, open meadows, and large surrounding ranches to the north and west, this private setting attracts a remarkable number of big game elk, mule deer, black bears, and mountain lions. A permitted 15 GPM (gallons per minute) well and solar stock tank only add to the big game population. The ranch is located on a prime migration route and attracts big game during Colorados hunting season.

The property, with a backdrop of sandstone cliffs, offers an ideal setting for multiple residences with open meadows, aspen groves, and mountain views. Due to the productive hay meadow, the ranch benefits from agricultural tax status. Currently, the acreage is subdivided into three parcels and is being offered as one parcel in the 480 Subdivision. Routt County allows one residence with a 1,200 square feet maximum detached caretaker home per thirty-five-acre tract. Electricity is located at the southern lot line and accessible for residential needs.

The property is less than one mile from State Highway 40 and is easily accessed in all seasons. The world-class resort of Steamboat Springs is approximately 12 miles to the east, and the town of Hayden is 7 miles to the west. The Yampa Regional Airport is a 10-minute drive and offers daily commercial flights across the nation. Black Cat at 480 Ranch is the perfect small acreage hunting retreat with options for building your dream homes.
