A ranch property in upper Colorado just miles from the small rural village of Yampa is now on the market and can be had for just over $2.5 million.
Sitting on some 113 wooded acres, the Stage Stop Ranch features a main two-story cabin structure with a large and airy living room space dominated by a stone fireplace, two bedrooms, and a bath featuring a garden-style jacuzzi tub.
A second even more spacious structure on the property, which is located off Colorado State Highway 131, is a barn with a workshop area and second story living quarters.
The wood-crafted structures on the property were built in 2000 and are made up of reclaimed timbers from the town of Toponas, just under 10 miles to the southeast.
As remote and rustic as most properties can get, the listing by the Colorado Springs-based Mason & Morse Ranch Company also makes note of the bears, elk, deer, and moose known to roam in the area.
Because the property is located within the state’s official Game Management Unit 26, hunting is allowed.
Ranch properties in the larger Routt County have become a big business, with recent listed prices, depending on the size of the property and structures on it, varying between just under $1 million to more than $19 million.
The median sale price, meanwhile, for a single-family home in the country has increased from around $800,000 in the summer of 2020 to just over $1.5 million today.
