Just 11 miles north of downtown Steamboat Springs, the 35-acre Flying J Ranch boasts amazing views, lush meadows of irrigated hay and 3 channels of the famed Elk River offering some of the finest fishing in NW Colorado. The property was completely transformed into a 5bd/9bth luxury residence. The main wing, built in 2019, incorporates rich Western heritage with modern sensibilities resulting in a luxury gathering place for three generations of family and guests. The great room is anchored by stunning rock fireplace and opens to the chef's kitchen boasting 3 work islands, granite counters, top-quality appliances, and walk-in pantry. The views to the west from the great room, the extensive covered deck with wood-burning fireplace and the screened porch offer soothing places to enjoy the spectacular sunsets. Beyond the great room lies a western saloon incorporating reclaimed materials which exude rustic elegance, great for entertaining. A built-in grill and smoker link the outdoor spaces allowing guests and family to join the action or sit back and let the evening roll on. A hall off the kitchen leads to a media room and to an elegant primary suite with a deep soaking tub, walk-in closet and yoga room. The upper level, created for kids or guests, offers an 8-bed bunk room with living space, 2 customized baths and a second media room. The guest wing of the home is a 3bd/3bth, space offering privacy with its own den with fireplace and covered porch. A heated 4+ car garage links the home to a plentiful storage area and workshop. Connected is an art studio with bath, loft and murphy beds for overflow guests. The land boasts a park-like setting attracting local game and the river is home to a healthy population of Rainbows and Browns, making for a great fishing experience. A glamping tent on top of a framed deck offers a summer and fall camping experience near the river. Meadows irrigated with senior water rights produce rich hay and acreage for cattle/horse pasturing.
