Description

The 2,691-acre Phillips Creek Ranch is a rare, Colorado high-country ranch, centrally located to both Steamboat Springs and the Vail Valley, with an array of landscapes difficult to find in a single landholding. The ranch is comprised of two parcels - Phillips Creek Yampa Ranch totaling 2,131 acres and Phillips Creek Toponas Ranch totaling 560 acres. Highlights include: live-water fishery in Phillips Creek; adjacent to Routt National Forest and over 10,000 acres of BLM; excellent hunting - deer, elk, bear, bobcat and birds; senior water rights, including the No. 2 water right in the Upper Yampa Basin and 236.5 AF of reservoir water; 521 acres of irrigated grass hay and pasture land; solid 400 pair cattle operation. Phillips Creek Ranch has stunning views of the Flattops and Gore Range, and the private access to public land creates hunting opportunities which are excellent, with elk, deer, bear, and other wild game being plentiful. Hunting opportunities are complimented by the live-water amenity of several miles of both Phillips Creek and King Creek meandering through the ranch, and a 1,600-acre portion of Phillips Creek Yampa Ranch is under the protection of a conservation easement, ensuring it remains pristine in perpetuity. Improvements on Phillips Creek Yampa Ranch consist of functional barns, corrals, well-maintained perimeter and cross fencing, hay sheds, two modest modular homes and a newer hunting cabin, with potential to create an updated recreational ranch headquarters specific to your needs. Improvements on the Phillips Creek Toponas Ranch are vintage, but the current owner has begun the process of restoring the buildings to preserve the areas ranching history. Considering its Yampa, CO location, recreational amenities and productive agricultural land, Phillips Creek Ranch is truly the nexus between ranching and recreation with a landscape for every purpose.
