Friday's Featured Listing – 31765 Soda Creek Rim Road Steamboat Springs , CO

 
Quietly overlooking Soda Creek with 2 ponds, a babbling brook, and expansive fields for grazing horses, 31765 Soda Creek Rim Road is one of the best properties that Routt County has to offer. Unique details, such as the hand forged Iron columns, natural river rock siding from the nearby creek, or antique barnwood siding give this home the splendor to reside over its stunning 13.24 acres and Ski Mountain and Soda Creek views. Inside, more natural river rocks create a magnificent fireplace that is rivaled as the centerpiece of the home by the huge windows that frame the fantastic landscaping and beautiful patio escape outside. The kitchen is lavishly finished with beautiful antique white oak cabinetry, granite counters, a walk in pantry, ice maker, beverage refrigerator, and all the other finishes you would expect in a professional grade kitchen. Just as with the rest of the home, even the kitchen and bathrooms were designed to frame the beautiful views and natural forest outside. Picture frames and artwork are not needed in this home; the architect included numerous windows in every room to frame the natural beauties of the outside landscape. From almost every room, the babbling of Soda Creek or one of the brooks can be heard, and if these natural charms do not suite your fancy for the day, the home is equipped with a central sound system in every room, including the spacious 3+ car garage. This stunning home even has a home office that would put the average home office to shame as it has built in, wrap around desks and room for a meeting table. Downstairs, a spacious family room is paralleled by a game room that can be split off from the main living area for louder games or a full workout. A second patio enjoys an additional pond and a path that winds through the natural foliage down to the creek. A hot tub is perfectly placed just at the shores of the pond so your soak will cause you to feel as though you are sitting in the warmth of a natural hot spring. Every room enjoys touch lighting, and from the romantic master suite upstairs, all lights on the property, including the outside barn, can be turned off with the touch of a single switch. The master suite also enjoys a gas stove for additional warmth on cold evenings, and French doors that create a beautiful entrance to the master bath, which has a steam shower with three shower heads, a jet tub, a lavish walk in closet with a private washer and dryer, and beautiful granite counters surrounding two separate his and her sinks. The huge barn on the property is a masterpiece in itself and is only paled by the splendor of the home. Created with room for over 25 tons of hay storage, the barn has 2 huge garage doors that allow a tractor or truck to pull straight through the entire building for easy feeding or loading. Numerous adjacent rooms allow tackle and feed to be sorted and stored away from the 2 spacious stalls. A covered feeding area, riding arena, and numerous fenced fields make the property ideal for raising horses. The quality and unique attributes of this private oasis make this property one of the true gems of the Yampa Valley. MLS #134346
