Rabbit Ear Retreat

Land Description

This is a great place to hang out and enjoy peace and tranquility. The property is located in a remote area, but remains 30 minutes to downtown Steamboat Springs, home to World Class Skiing, and soaking in the hot springs at Strawberry Park. The entrance to the property easement is located midway between Steamboat Springs and Walden, and is accessed at the State Land Board Trust entrance between MM4 and MM5 on Hwy 14. Parcel is approximately two miles SW of the gate. North Park has been the summer home for various Indian Tribes in the past who would gather to hunt buffalo, and trade with trappers. The meadows grow an abundance of high protein hay which is fed to cattle in the winter. In addition to its history, several species of wildlife have thrived along with a moose herd which was brought in to the Park in the mid seventies. The parcel has excellent views of the snowcapped mountains, which change with the seasons. The owner and his family have enjoyed camping, hunting, and snowmobiling on the property. A recent survey, which is available for review by any potential buyer discloses 126.224 acres, which sustains sagebrush, various grass, aspen and pine trees. The wildflowers are abundant in the season, and in the fall, the colors of the aspen leaves are very vivid. For those who are looking for quiet solitude, the wildlife is abundant and watchable. The property has provided successful hunts for elk and deer which have been harvested in the past. Although the property does not have water for fishing, the various blue ribbon waters, high mountain lakes and streams located nearby, offer any angler a challenge with a fly or spinning rod. World Class skiing is thirty minutes away in Steamboat Springs, and can also be enjoyed at several other areas which are close by. Recreation is only limited to the imagination, and therefore unlimited. This is an excellent property which offers an opportunity to build a cabin, or just a peaceful place to park and enjoy the scenery. Location is within reasonable driving distance from the surrounding areas of Steamboat Springs, Granby, Winter Park, Fort Collins, Cheyenne, Saratoga, Laramie, Cheyenne, and Denver. DIA is approximately 3 hours and from there, wherever. Although there are no utilities to the property, solar, wind, and propane generators are available on the market, which could be used to provide heat and light to any future property improvements.
