Looking for the perfect acreage for your family’s recreation retreat and to hunt big game in Northwest Colorado? Look no further, as Yellow Dog Ranch has it all!
A diverse 340± acres bordering large ranches and perfectly centered in Northwest Colorado’s largest elk migratory corridor, Yellow Dog Ranch is a one-hour drive from Steamboat Springs and located just below Pilot’s Knob off County Road 80.
This family retreat is anchored by a large custom barn with a heated shop, a fully appointed kitchen, a living room with a fireplace, additional bedrooms, and a primary bedroom with a private deck overlooking the ponds.
Center of the universe for recreational amenities, Yellow Dog Ranch’s diverse acreage includes aspen, dark timber, open meadow, dispersed springs, large ponds, and every habitat benefit to attract big game in Colorado’s Game Unit 441. The four ponds include adjudicated water rights that protect the property’s environmental values in perpetuity and a developed spring that supplies abundant water for domestic uses. All ages of the family will appreciate the rainbow trout stocked ponds, which are ideal for aesthetics, recreation, and attracting wildlife.
Since 2007, the current owner has left no details untouched. The minute you enter the welded pipe, gated entrance or walk into the custom barn, you immediately recognize the thoughtful detail that went into developing this ranch and designing the barn’s functionality yet comfort for the entire family. Yellow Dog Ranch is not “just the guys hunting camp,” as the well-appointed kitchen will have the family’s gourmet chef reveling, and the primary bedroom’s private deck is perfect for a good book on a Sunday afternoon. Whether paddle boards on the ponds or marshmallow s’mores at the outdoor fire pit, Yellow Dog Ranch is the complete setting for making family memories.
In addition to Yellow Dog Ranch‘s on-site recreational amenities, you can access millions of acres of US Forest Service (USFS) lands directly from the ranch, including California Park and Slater Park. If you pack a picnic, there are ATV trails that go to Steamboat Lake and all the way to Wyoming.
Tour the Yellow Dog Ranch, and you, too, will appreciate the thoughtfulness and detail that went into perfecting this family retreat and recreational ranch in Northwest Colorado.
