Description

Even longtime Steamboat Springs residents are unfamiliar with Fish Creek Meadows - one of the town's most exclusive neighborhoods. Hidden in the heart of Steamboat, this special enclave consists of just 37 homesites perched on a scenic plateau above the valley. Sweeping views encompass the Steamboat Ski Area, Howelsen Hill, Emerald Mountain, Sleeping Giant, and the distant Flat Tops, while shopping, dining, and recreation are minutes away. Spacious homesites ranging from 1.59 to 7+ acres provide a rare level of privacy, but only 7 border the 68-acre Rita Valentine Park, offering direct access to hiking, biking, and skiing trails while preserving open space, protect views, and privacy. With just one undeveloped homesite left, opportunities like this are rare. Completed in 2018, this thoughtfully designed 4,830 SF custom residence was created to enhance its extraordinary setting on “Rita”. Glass walls frame mountain vistas, while cathedral ceilings, a dramatic sandstone fireplace, and timeless finishes create refined mountain elegance. The chef's kitchen features premium appliances, custom cabinetry, a walnut breakfast bar, built-in dining nook, and a pass-through window to the expansive wraparound deck for effortless entertaining. The main-level primary suite offers a fireplace, spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet, and deck overlooking a tranquil waterfall for spectacular sunsets. Also on the main level is a private office, pantry, mudroom, half-bath and four-car garage with dog wash. The walk-out level includes a family room, custom wet bar, fitness room, junior primary suite, additional ensuite bedroom, fourth bedroom, second laundry, and abundant storage. While the home is exceptional, it is the site that defines this offering. Large acreage bordering protected parkland with forever ski area views, unmatched privacy, and a location just minutes from downtown is virtually impossible to replicate. A home like this can be built elsewhere, but not with this location.
