Steamboat Springs, Colorado, in the heart of the Yampa Valley, is truly one of the most special places on earth.

We have only 32 ranch sites, each of which is situated so that your neighbor won’t spoil the view. Fishing ponds, paved roads, equestrian center, miles of trails, architectural controls, professional management and Sidney Peak Ranch is one of the few gated communities in Steamboat. And getting here is easy, the Yampa Valley Regional Airport in Hayden is only 22 miles from Steamboat. Ownership comes with a Premier Catamount Golf Club membership and all the sunsets you can take in. Visit our Sales Gallery, downtown Steamboat Springs at 435 Lincoln Avenue.

Elk Creek Ranch

here is a magical place in northwestern Colorado known as the White River Valley. It sits at the base of the Flat Tops Wilderness Area and is a sanctuary for America’s largest resident elk herd, bald eagles, wild turkey, grouse, mule deer, bear, beaver, mountain lion, moose—and big trout. Within this beautiful valley there is a very special place known as Elk Creek Ranch.

Both the White River and Elk Creek meander their way through the ranch. Operated for 17 years as a carefully managed fishing and hunting lodge, Elk Creek has been transformed into a spectacular shared ranch community of extraordinary quality. Sixty-five stunning cabin sites have been carefully planned on 2,850 acres, providing for 98% of the ranch to be preserved as common area open space.

In addition to the 2,850 deeded acres of Elk Creek Ranch, the Owners Association has 60-year leases on two additional related ranches: a hunting and fishing lease on the 4,200-acre K/K Ranch and a fishing lease on the 4,800-acre YZ Ranch. In combination, these ranches offer over 20 miles of diverse fly-fishing habitat on the White River and along Elk Creek. Whether it is the big and spectacular main stem of the White River, the slow-moving â&#x20AC;&#x153;stillwaterâ&#x20AC;? of the upper South Fork or the intimate and technical Elk Creek itself, the magnitude and quality of the fishing resource are unparalleled. The fishing and hunting resource owned and controlled

by Elk Creek Ranch is unequalled, and the commitment to habitat protection and conscientious stewardship is resolute.

A family-oriented culture is nurtured at the ranch. In addition to fishing and hunting, the ranch is the perfect venue for hiking, biking, horseback riding at the equestrian center or on trails, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.

Owners are buying and building their cabins at Elk Creek Ranch so that multiple generations can gather, spend time together, recreate together and come away with lasting memories.

Our experienced fishing and hunting guides, talented executive chef, Damon Renfroe, and capable and caring staff ensure that every visit is a first-class experience.

Since our introduction to the market in March of 2007, sales have been brisk. Just 25 cabin sites remain available, and they are all outstanding. The choices include pondside Village sites, bench sites with panoramic valley views and spectacular mountain sites surrounded by spruce and aspen trees with views of meandering Elk Creek and distant mountains. Five ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cabins are being constructed this summer, with plans in the works for several more.

We invite you to spend some time at Elk Creek Ranch for an unforgettable day of angling, for gourmet cuisine, for elegant western ambiance and for an experience like none you have had before. v For more information, please contact Tim Casey with Mountain Marketing Associates, Ltd. at 970 453-2571 or mmaltd@mmabreck.com.

Montana v Madison County v Cameron

Ten strategically placed settlement sites are offered for sale on the flagship of the Sun Ranch Group’s network of properties.

Each location has been carefully selected to facilitate the mission to protect open space on one of the most breathtakingly beautiful ranches in the American West. Bordering 5± miles of the famous Madison River and 7± miles of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness, over 95% of the Sun Ranch’s 19,000± deeded and 7000± leased acres are under conservation easement. This easement aids in protecting the prime elk and whitetail deer habitat, a challenging variety of fisheries and a significant wildlife corridor to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Sun Ranch Settlement owners may enjoy the renowned lodging, dining and outfitting services provided by the on-site, nationally recognized Lodge at Sun Ranch or explore the unlimited outdoor recreation and endless vistas privately. Additionally, owners will have deeded access and rights to the entire ranch through a reciprocal recreational use easement as well as preferential access to the other properties within the Sun Ranch Group network. Set within the expansive Madison Valley, the Sun Ranch is 20 minutes from Ennis, Montana and within 90 minutes of a commercial airport. $5,000,000-$8,000,000.

The Bar M Ranch is a premier guest ranch in the Blue Mountains of Oregon. Numerous activities, from horseback riding to lounging in the hot spring pool, are offered. On the banks of the Umatilla River and bordered by national forest on three sides, the 3,096-acre ranch has a beautiful 5,300-square-foot, turnof-the-century ranch house and numerous homes and cabins. $5,000,000.

Gassy Mountain Ranch is tucked in the trees at the base of Grassy Mountain in the Bangtail Mountains. With a total of 371± mountain acres, this property is a rare find in the heavily developed Bridger Canyon area. Three borders of Forest Service land add to the handsomeness of the property with topography ranging from grassy meadows to timbered hillsides. Seasonal mountain springs turn the meadows of Grassy Mountain Ranch into fields of wildflowers every summer. The big game hunting is as plentiful as any place in Montana. The elk and deer graze in the meadows during the night and hide in the tranquility of the trees during the day. Other recreation close by includes downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, fly-fishing on any of the numerous fisheries in the area and golfing. Close to Bozeman and Bridger Bowl, Grassy Mountain Ranch is the perfect place to build a retreat away from the busy lifestyle of the city. Tract 2 (160± acres) and the remainder tract (159.9±

White River Ranch Oregon v Wasco County v Wamic

O

One of the largest contiguous properties in Wasco County, the 3,589-acre White River Ranch ranges from the White River Canyon through Gate and Rock Creek Canyons, and terminates at Three Mile Creek near the town

of Wamic, close to the eastern edge of the Mt. Hood National Forest. The property is geographically diverse, including irrigated pasture, woodlands, river and creek bottoms and canyon lands. Approximately two hours driving time from either Portland or Bend, this beautiful parcel is a potential destination resort site. Preliminary engineering is also complete for construction of an 80-acre lake near the ranch house on the west end of the property. A working cattle ranch, the property typically carries 3,000 head and includes a 400-pair grazing permit for the Mt. Hood National Forest.

For close to 20 years, the owner has used a high-intensity, low-duration grazing system to promote grass and discourage weed growth without use of herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The property is bounded by BLM land to the south (White River) and west (extending to national forest land). Access to the White River offers prime trout fishing, kayaking and camping opportunities. Water rights are extensive, and much of the irrigation system is gravity fed from numerous ponds scattered throughout the property. Improvements include four pivots, extensive pump systems, a four-bedroom, three-bath, 2,544-square-foot ranch house, several barns, etc. As configured, White River Ranch includes the 880-acre Cody Place property available separately for $2,420,000. The remaining 2,709-acre parcel is offered at $7,452,500. White River Ranch is also adjacent to the Ayres Ranch property (see the listing below) and may be purchased as a package. $9,870,000.

Ayres Ranch Oregon v Wasco County v Wamic

Ayres Ranch is comprised of 800 acres along the White River in north central Oregon. Just east of Mt. Hood National Forest, the ranch is approximately two hours east of Portland and north of Bend (90 to 125 miles).

It sits in the heart of the coveted X5b deer zone that appears to be the hardest zone to draw. I have tried for many years and have

never been successful. The good news is that a minimum of two landowner tags come to the new owner of this ranch with the option of joining the PLM program. This will earn even

more tags that may be sold for some pretty good money. The west boundary of the ranch runs through a huge lake, of which you will own about half. A proposed land swap with BLM to trade some of your “other” land for the rest of the lake would be pretty cool. The ranch is comprised of four parcels, all within minutes of each other and surrounded by BLM. Terrain varies from level, gently rolling grasslands to steep canyon walls that hold monster mule deer. Sage, huge junipers, grass, springs, a big lake, big bucks, big fish—all these animals and all these birds make for what is truly a sportsman’s dream. Hunt them or enjoy them, either way it’s your own piece of Heaven. Remember, God’s not making any more of this stuff, so if you don’t get yours now, your dream may never become a reality!
