Exploring The Home

An architectural masterpiece, this home’s high-quality design and mix of natural wood, exposed steel, and masonry was recognized in Steamboat Magazine’s annual Architecture & Design issue.

One bedroom is currently used as an office and media room. Perfect for any mountain home, the over-sized laundry room complete with pet shower is the perfect place to drop your snowy, muddy, or dirty gear after a day of playing outside.

8 gorgeous Steamboat homes

northrouttretreAt a contemporary home captures the spirit of the West

situated in an aspen glade within a 1,500-acre working cattle ranch, this the first completed home among 12 new sites that have 50-plus acre lots. Five-acre building envelopes were designed on the landscape so that none of the home sites is visible from the valley floor. Keeping with the secluded feel of a Western ranch, this North Routt home’s architecture was crafted to commune with the area’s historic traditions. Capturing a feel of having a main house, barn and outbuildings, the architects designed a silhouette that reflects a gathering of relaxed broken forms. It feels like a collection of structures vs. one large building.

The house is divided into three pods with a great room at the center and corridors that lead off to bedroom suites. A gentle curve in the great room’s south façade adds an unexpected twist to the design, while the choice of construction materials offers a contemporary interpretation of traditional homebuilding materials from the area. The roof is bonderized steel that is akin to terne

metals seen on many agricultural buildings. The siding includes a stone veneer and reclaimed Wyoming snow fence from Laramie, Wyo. Steel panels used as siding have a natural rust patina that suggest an aging, weathered agricultural building.

Inside, a locally-procured highlight is the beetle-kill pine decking on all of the ceilings. Floors and cabinets are white oak, and the main entry includes a reclaimed oak door. The counter tops are synthetic quartz.

Keeping the style contemporary, the home’s shape is relatively low-slung. Heavy timber and steel jack trusses support the kitchen and dining areas, giving the home a lot of expressed structure. All of the doors on the south façade open together and pin to the patio so air can move freely through the house, but the doors won’t swing in the wind. This also opens the path to outdoor living and engaging views toward the Mount Zirkel Wilderness and of the expansive Elk River Valley.

MURPHY-LARSEN RANCH

About MLR

Each homesite has a carefully selected dedicated building envelope, specifically designated to take full advantage of the features of the property while providing and protecting view corridors from adjacent lots and the common area. This is ranch living at its best, without the maintenance worries of a traditional ranch property. The roads, water system, 9.32 miles of trails, improvements, amenities, and even the fencing are maintained for you, freeing up your time to simply enjoy the property. Features include Pete’s Cabin near the forest boundary, Owen’s Cabin for private events and and a horse riding arena.

The ranch has a private central water system that is designed to accommodate household use as well as irrigation for landscaping. It is regularly monitored for both quantity and quality and water is available at each lot. With approximately 70,000 gallons of water storage, the water system provides peace of mind for rural land-ownership.

MLR Details

The homesites are located on the South Murphy-Larsen, a curving ridge that overlooks the Continental Divide, encompassing 661 acres with an extensive network of trails leading to National Forest lands. Homeowners have common ownership of the adjacent 875 acres, known as North Murphy-Larsen. Much of this land, along with several of the adjoining ranches, has been placed in conservation easements and there are no further development options.

A long-time, local cattle operation has enjoyed a successful history with Murphy-Larsen Ranch, operating and maintaining thousands of acres in the immediate area. Cattle grazing on Murphy-Larsen Ranch not only provides a great view, but serves as a reminder that ranching and residential interests can be complementary, and provides owners with Ag Status with tax benefits. Homesites are protected by perimeter fencing maintained by the homeowners’ association.

Murphy-Larsen Ranch Philosophy

The “Live Lightly on the Land” philosophy of the Murphy-Larsen Ranch community is simple and consistent, and is reflected in the architectural character of the new homesteads to be built on the ranch. This is one of the most important aspects of the entire project, and is shared by like-minded neighbors and with the land trusts, who desire to continue the commitment to the preservation of the integrity of the Elk River Valley. Involving careful planning by pre-eminent conservation land consultants, the Murphy-Larsen Ranch is designed to give the homeowners every benefit and at the same time protect the land in one of the last unspoiled Alpine ranching valleys still existing in America.

New homeowners and their architects are asked to share this commitment. The results of that joint conservation effort are evident today with attractive working landscapes and ranches of the area.

Whether choosing a traditional or modern architectural style, log, stone, steel, or clapboard, owners are encouraged to be restrained… to hold back…to let the warmth and beauty of the home be a result of its quiet, respectful relationship to it natural surroundings.

The Murphy-Larsen Ranch offers home sites to special families who share a passionate commitment to protect this land, be a part of a true community, and preserve the ranching tradition.

We invite you to share in the joyful western experience that our family and guests have treasured for over 30 years. Ownership at the MurphyLarsen Ranch is living proof that preservation, recreational, and agricultural interests can come together to preserve the great ranching tradition and landscape of the American West.
