The Value of Marabou Ranch

Marabou Ranch offers a value incomparable to any other high-end development in Steamboat Springs.

Steamboat’s World-Class Ranch Community, Marabou Ranch, stands as a beacon of luxury living. Its value continues to increase, reflecting both the exquisite craftsmanship and the increasing demand for premium real estate in Steamboat Springs.

When Marabou Ranch was purchased and developed in 2013, its creators spared no expense in building a masterpiece. Over $60,000,000 was meticulously invested in the development of the property, including the acquisition of the land, roads, water, river rehabilitation and fish habitat, construction of the lodge, cabins, outfitters center, spa, fitness center, barn, and other amenities.

Fast-forward a decade. Available lots average at a cost of $1,800,000 a homesite. With inflation and property values skyrocketing, the price to replace this property conservatively is at least double what it was when it was built. With 62 lots at Marabou Ranch, that means each owner would have close to $2,000,000 in equity in the ranch, plus the value of a beautiful building site in one of the premier developments in Steamboat Springs.

Beyond the financial aspect, Marabou Ranch offers a lifestyle that is extraordinary. From the rustic charm of the River House lodge to the tranquility of the Downstream spa and state-of-the-art fitness center, at every corner, you can indulge in outdoor adventures or simply bask in the serenity of the surroundings.

Marabou Ranch epitomizes community living at its finest. From forging lifelong friendships over a shared love for fly fishing or horseback riding to gathering with family in the Owner’s Cabins or indulging in Après skiing at the Mountain Camp at the Ski Area Base, the memories formed within the Ranch are remembered for generations.

For those fortunate enough to call it home, Marabou Ranch isn’t just a destination—it’s a legacy to be cherished for years to come.
