Property Description
Situated in Colorado Game Management Unit 214, the property is known for exceptional elk and mule deer hunting. Its diverse landscape features open meadows, dense stands of Gambel oak, and groves of quaking aspen, creating ideal wildlife habitat. Tow Creek meanders through the western portion of the ranch, where multiple beaver dams enhance riparian habitat, provide seasonal water, and add unique natural character.
The ranch's varied topography offers privacy, striking mountain-ranch aesthetics, and numerous elevated building sites with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. It is well-suited for a private residence, hunting lodge, guest cabins, or equestrian and agricultural improvements. Close proximity to Steamboat Springs and Yampa Valley Regional Airport further enhances its appeal for both seasonal and year-round use.
Unencumbered by a conservation easement, the property provides significant flexibility for future ownership. The ranch's big game and agricultural values and close proximity to 35± acre subdivision developments enhance the conservation easement opportunity, including potential for Routt County's Purchase of Development Rights Program. In addition. The new owner may elect to retain the development rights for future demand.
Combining location, wildlife, water resources, and versatility, the Doc Utterback Elk Ranch represents a compelling offering in the Yampa Valley—an increasingly rare property type near one of Colorado's most sought-after resort market.
