Ski season is 1 only week away! Crews are blowing snow and getting the mountain ready. It has been reported that the Christie lift will be open for sure and there is a chance that the gondola will be open as well.  But, looking at the forecast for the next week, that seems questionable as temperatures will be reaching the 50s.

Outside Magazine has just named Steamboat the 6^th best ski resort in North America, thanks in part to some new trails, lift upgrades, large terrain, and our mixture of lodging options.   And don’t forget the off mountain amenities such as the Strawberry Park Hot Springs, the great restaurants, the lively bars, and this years 100^th annual Winter Carnival!  This amazing celebration with take place from February 6^th-10^th this year. 

Conde Nast Traveler also named Steamboat one of the top 15 best resorts in North America.

 While we’re here, may I mention one great price reduction that we have? The “Endless Views House” which overlooks the valley and Catamount Lake has just been reduced to $995,000. This home is one of the highest in the valley, with classic architecture, open living areas and 35 acres.  Imagine sipping coffee while watching the light hit the valley floor in the morning, or enjoying a glass of wine in the built in hot tub while taking in a brilliant sunset. Don’t miss this special opportunity. 

Have a great week and we hope to see you soon.  If you have any questions or would like a tour of Steamboats finest real estate, give us a shout! 

Sincerely,

Ski season is only 2 weeks away! It’s hard to believe but you can feel it in the air.  There’s not a lot of snow on the ground at the moment, but there’s snow on top of the mountain and more is supposed to fall soon. 

At the Vanatta Group we’ve been busy with some new listings and some price reductions.

Check out some of our new listings: (Click on any link to see a virtual tour)

The Clock Tower building in Ski Time Square – one of the most recognizable buildings at the base of the ski area, this large parcel can be split into 3 separate parcels.  Each one offers something different; from a vacant land to retail/office to residential.  The possibilities are endless on this rare offering in a prime location.

Great privacy and beautiful views from this 35 acre lot in Big Valley Ranch. This large lot has a gentle slope from the surrounding hills down to the valley floor. Horses are allowed and hiking trails are close by in this prestigious neighborhood just minutes from town and the ski mountain.

Triple Diamond Ranch – Back on the market at a great price.  This 331 acre parcel can be split.  It has two large homes, amazing equestrian facilities, barns, storage, riding arenas and awesome views too!

Sitting on the 3^rd fairway of the Rollingstone Ranch Golf Course, this three bedroom home has a den, large deck, open kitchen, and great finishes. On a quite road near skiing, shops, cross country skiing, and of course, golf. 

The lowest price lot at Catamount Ranch.  This deal will not last long.  Sitting beside the 18^th fairway and green, with Walton Creek frontage, this 6.45 acre lot is an amazing deal.  Build your dream home in this prestigious neighborhood at rock bottom prices.

Rarely on the market, this Mount Werner Lodge unit is in the perfect location.  You might not even know this building is here because it is so unassuming and blends right into the ski area base so well.  This two bedroom unit is just steps from skiing, bars, restaurants and shops.

Commercial offering in downtown Steamboat.  Keep your eyes open for this new listing coming soon.

Here are some of our recent price reductions:

It’s also one of the only properties in town that offers a shuttle to and from the Hayden Airport.

Heavenly views from this 1.05 acre lot in the Sanctuary.  Sitting high up on the hill, on a cul-de-sac, this lot borders hiking trails and is the perfect spot for a custom luxury home.

This cleared 0.31 acre lot in Longview Highlands Subdivision is perfectly perched on the hillside with fabulous views of the ski area. Ideally located between downtown and the ski area, the lot has a great views  and all utilities are available to the lot line.
