26000 High Ridge Drive

Surrounded by wooded hillsides and open meadows on 35.88 acres in Deerwood Ranches, this mountain estate sits an easy drive from the ski area and downtown Steamboat Springs, and is located in the Steamboat Springs School District. Designed by architect Michael Olsen, the home centers on a double-height great room with 27-foot vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling handcrafted dry-stack stone fireplace, and wood beam and log post construction throughout. Windows frame views across the property, and glass doors open to covered terraces and patios. The kitchen offers granite countertop seating and a Miele range. The main-floor primary suite includes a gas fireplace and walk-in closet, opening directly to a hot tub patio. This private stone patio at the rear extends the living space with mature aspen landscaping. Upstairs, a bridge spans the width of the great room, leading to a junior primary bedroom with bath, sitting area, and ample storage. The lower level offers a game and living room opening to a fenced yard with a firepit, a full bedroom and bath, and an office or fourth bedroom. Finishes include stone, log, and steel accents with southwestern influence. At the main house, a four-car garage with a powder room sits below a caretaker or guest apartment with far-reaching mountain views, a kitchen, two-sided gas fireplace, bedroom, full bath, laundry, vaulted ceilings, and new carpet. At the property entry, a 40x60 garage with a 14-foot door, suited to boats, trailers, or equestrian use, connects to a 36x40 heated shop with insulated concrete flooring. Recent updates include a one-year-old roof, two-year-old water heater, and three-year-old hot tub. The HOA covers road maintenance and includes a private trail system for horses, hiking, and biking.
