Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Located in Routt County, Colorado, the Yampa Headwaters Ranch encompasses 610 acres and features two live creeks and multiple stocked ponds. The property includes an Army Corps of Engineers-permitted wetland mitigation bank with over 200 wetland credits. Situated between Steamboat Springs and the Vail Valley, the ranch includes a 100+ acre irrigated hay meadow, over 200 acres of wetland and riparian bordering Brinker and Chimney Creeks, and upland acreage of rolling sagebrush topography. Brinker and Chimney Creeks, headwaters of the Yampa River, meander through the ranch for over 2.5 miles. The two largest stocked ponds, Big Pond and Acord Pond, are fed by live water. The ranch is a year-round destination for waterfowl and is home to mule deer, antelope, and elk. The ranch headquarters, with views of the Flattops Wilderness, includes a custom barn with a two-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment, 3’ x 14’ bay doors, and a walk-in cooler with a game-cleaning area. Multiple locations exist for future building sites, including a secluded cabin at Look Pond. The wetland mitigation bank was permitted in 2003 and has transferred wetland credits throughout Northwest Colorado. The ranch benefits from cattle grazing and hay production. The property is located near world-class resort areas.
