This home has a front-row seat to the untamed beauty of North Routt. With direct access to thousands of acres of National Forest, the property opens onto a vast wilderness playground with the ability to hike, snowmobile, hunt, or ride out on ATVs straight from home. Take the snowmobile from the garage, where a trail leads directly to California Park and miles and miles of riding. Stroll to the shores of Steamboat Lake for some fishing. Wildlife sightings are frequent as moose, elk, pronghorn, and more are frequent visitors to the property. Steamboat Lake, Sand Mountain, and the towering peaks of the Zirkels fill the horizon, setting the scene for a life deeply connected to nature. Inside, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a two-story woodburning fireplace anchor the great room, while walls of windows frame snow-dusted ridgelines and alpine lakes. The main level includes two bedrooms, including a primary suite, and a spacious deck that looks out over a wildflower meadow toward the glimmer of Steamboat Lake. A flexible loft space works beautifully as a home office or overflow sleeping quarters, while the lower-level family room and game area invite evening fireside gatherings after a day on the trails. Designed for adventure and downtime in equal measure, the home includes a two-car garage with ample space for vehicles and recreational gear, and is just minutes from fishing, paddling, and boating at Steamboat Lake. Whether days are spent exploring the backcountry or savoring the silence of the mountains, this is a place where the pace slows and the possibilities open wide.
