MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION - MOTIVATION TO SELL! Only 20± minutes west of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, lies a desirable 687± deeded acres, known as Papoulis Canyon Ranch. Surrounded by larger conserved ranches, this property presents a blank canvas for those looking for a hunting retreat in close proximity to Steamboat Springs or the buyer looking for that special acreage to develop a private ranch containing attractive home sites, suitable habitat for small agriculture operations, water resources and topography that attracts big game. Bordering Wolf Creek on its eastern boundary, nestled between large conserved ranches and Wolf Mountain to the north, this ranch includes grasslands, creek bottom coverage and timbered areas including cottonwood trees, gambrel oaks and aspen forests. Free from restrictive covenants, Papoulis Canyon Ranch consists of two parcels: 535 acres and 152 acres. The land is unencumbered and could be developed into 19 thirty-five acres lots or a land owner could place in a conservation easement while still retaining limited development for homesites and ag operations. This diverse ranch consists of multiple spring fed ponds with water rights and picturesque rock cliff outcroppings highlight throughout the property. Various animals, including big game species of elk and mule deer along with bear, pronghorn and multiple small game species occupy the ranch. Papoulis Canyon Ranch includes two private gated entrances off of maintained County Road 52 and once through the gates, tree lined roads pass though the secluded canyons to the perfect building sites and main ponds. Due to the unique topography, and canyon entrances, the level of privacy is remarkable for a ranch of this size. Once through the protective entrances, the ranch uniquely unfolds into attractive grasslands and private valleys bordered by sandstone cliffs. Papoulis Canyon Ranch is a very unique opportunity with a multitude of options and only a short distance from Steamboat Springs.
