Elk River Guest Ranch feature

April 11th, 2013

The Elk River Guest Ranch was featured in the Steamboat Homefinder:

One of Steamboat’s longstanding North Routt guest ranches is back on the market three years after it most recently sold.

Christy Belton, of Ranch Marketing Associates, has listed the Elk River Guest Ranch on Seedhouse Road/Routt County Road 64 for $995,000. After operating it for 15 years, previous owners Bill and Kathy Hinder sold the guest ranch in December 2009 to a group led by Peter Fleps, of Chicago, for $1.4 million.

And while it still is a turnkey guest ranch operation with U.S. Forest Service permits for horseback rides and wilderness drop camps in place, the ranch also has potential as a family compound for new owners who enjoy trout fishing, hunting, boating and hiking.

The ranch includes a piece of Elk River frontage for fishing in the freestone stream, and it’s possible to saddle a horse and ride directly onto National Forest land.
