Located in Northwest Colorado, Routt County is one of Colorado's last unspoiled regions, known for its beautiful peaks and panoramic views. The County encompasses a total of 2,231 square miles, with approximately 50% of land being publicly owned, including the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. Named after the first state Governor of Colorado, Routt National Forest totals more than 1.1 million acres and includes the spectacular wilderness areas of Mt. Zirkel, Beyers Peak, Flat Tops, Neota, Ptarmigan, Sarvis Creek, Rawah and the Never Summer Mountains.
The Flat Tops Wilderness Area is the second largest U.S. Wilderness Area in Colorado (235,000 acres) and home to the White River Elk herd, the largest herd of elk in North America (40,000). The White River area is also known for an impressive resident deer herd of approximately 67,000. More than 38,000 acres of the Flat Tops Wilderness Area lie within the Routt National Forest, with the remaining acreage located in the adjacent White River National Forest.
Routt County is home to the world renowned Steamboat Springs Ski Resort, set on the Steamboat mountain range. While recreation and tourism continue to be a significant economic generator in the County, ranching, agriculture, forestry, mining and power generation provide a year round economy in the surrounding areas.
All of the properties in this spectacular portfolio are available for public sale for the first time in over 50 years. The magnificent topography of our featured property and the diverse mix of game create an ideal outdoor recreational experience.
