Royal Springs Ranch
Property Description
THIS PROPERTY IS SOLD AND IS FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY. Royal Spring Ranch offered the hard-to-find combination of luxury, solitude, beauty, and endless recreational opportunities. Encompassing over 1,388 acres (748 Deeded and 640 state-lease), this ranch provided the space to enjoy the serenity the Rocky Mountains are famous for. The property hosts a stunning main home, guest cabin, and multiple outbuildings such as a guest cabin, outfitter camp, and corrals. They are surrounded by golden aspens, dark green pines, grass-filled meadows, and an impressive amount of live water, with several creeks and ponds. The previous owners have spent much time and money creating and maintaining a fantastic road/trail system throughout the ranch.
Blessed with abundant wildlife, the ranch borders millions of acres of Routt National Forest. This high mountain fishery flows through the leased section of State-owned land and provides the perfect opportunity to cast dry flies at eager trout. Located in Game Management Unit 15, this is an Over-the-Counter unit for Elk (Archery, 2nd & 3rd Season Rifle). The most significant advantage to owning a ranch in an OTC unit is the assurance that you and your family/friends can hunt Elk there yearly, regardless of preference points. The average bull in this area scores in the 280 - 320in range. The remoteness of the adjoining National Forest would produce bulls that gross over 350 inches. The ranch is suited for archery, muzzleloader, and rifle hunters, and the number of Elk remains fairly consistent throughout the varying hunting seasons. Lastly, this unit offered a five-month, private land-only cow Elk season. These are "B" tags, meaning you can fill your cow tag with a rifle any day from Sept 1st - Jan 31st and still hunt bulls with your "A" tag.
It is located 30 miles south of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, which has consistently ranked as one of the country's best Ski Mountains, Resort Towns, and Family Ski Areas. It offers an impressive combination of fine dining, retail shopping, breweries, art studios, lodging, and historical points of interest. Routt County is one of the few counties left in Colorado that still maintains its ranching heritage while boasting one of the best ski resorts in the country. This area hosts many events, including the Steamboat Winter Carnival, Steamboat Hot Air Balloon Festival, OktoberWest, county fair, rodeos, marathons, and live music. Roughly 50% of Routt County is public land, offering access to millions of acres of the most beautiful and diverse land this country provides. The opportunities to hunt, camp, hike, and find the peace you seek are almost as endless as the views.
