Land Description

North Elkhead Tract 1 is a versatile property set in the picturesque landscape of northwest Colorado. Featuring gently rolling terrain, distant mountain views, and convenient access, it offers an ideal setting for building a dream home or establishing a small ranch, surrounded by natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Land with such characteristics rarely comes to market in this general area, so don't miss the opportunity to make it yours.

Land

The property encompasses approximately 80 acres of gently rolling terrain. This tract offers roughly a quarter mile of frontage along County Road 29, providing convenient year-round access, with power available nearby to support potential development. The landscape features mostly dryland hayfields planted with a mix of winter wheat and dryland alfalfa. Little Cottonwood Creek winds through the property, though flow may be minimal at times. Partially fenced, the tract supports healthy populations of deer and antelope that frequent the area year-round. Boasting expansive views of Quaker Mountain, Black Mountain, and Bears Ears, this property presents excellent opportunities for building a residence or grazing livestock, all while remaining close to a variety of recreational activities.

Recreation

Located just north of Elkhead Reservoir State Park, the North Elkhead Tract 1 offers a prime setting for anyone looking to enjoy Colorado's natural beauty and recreational abundance. This location provides not only stunning views but also immediate access to one of the area's most beloved outdoor destinations. Whether you're casting a line, exploring the water by boat, swimming, or enjoying a peaceful hike, the park offers something for everyone. Elkhead Reservoir State Park is centered around the 900 acre reservoir, a warmwater fishery home to largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and northern pike. The park features both electric and non-electric camping, fishing, boating, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The main boat ramp and campground are less than five miles from the tracts, making it easy to enjoy the water and surrounding trails. Hunting in the area is great, particularly for deer, antelope, and possible late-season elk due to their migration route. Outdoor access is abundant, with numerous entry points into hundreds of thousands of acres of nearby National Forest. These lands offer direct routes into the Quaker Mountain, Bears Ears, and Black Mountain areas, known for their scenic trails, exceptional hunting, beautiful campsites, and alpine waters with fishing. Nearby towns further enrich the experience with river rafting, fishing, shopping at local shops, dining at unique restaurants, and hosting annual events. And just a short drive away, Steamboat Springs offers world-class skiing in its legendary Champagne Powder snow, making this region a year-round haven for recreation. Whether you're seeking adventure, tranquility, or a blend of both, the North Elkhead Tract 1 places you in proximity to it all.

Location

The North Elkhead Tract 1 is conveniently accessed via County Road 29, a well-maintained, year-round road. It's located approximately 25 minutes northeast of Craig, Colorado, and 30 minutes northwest of Hayden, home to Yampa Valley Regional Airport, the nearest option that provides daily commercial flights to various destinations. For additional recreation and amenities, the popular mountain town of Steamboat Springs is just under an hour away.
