Partially fenced, the property is dominated by dryland hayfields planted with a blend of winter wheat and dryland alfalfa. As a result of ample vegetation, populations of deer and antelope frequent the property and surrounding area throughout the entire year. Perched slightly higher than the surrounding area, it offers expansive panoramic views of Quaker Mountain, Black Mountain, and Bears Ears. Whether building a home, grazing livestock, or enjoying nearby recreational activities, this property blends natural beauty with excellent opportunity.

Recreation

Located just north of Elkhead Reservoir State Park, the North Elkhead Tract #2 offers a prime setting for anyone looking to enjoy Colorado’s natural beauty and recreational abundance. This location provides not only stunning views but also immediate access to one of the area’s most beloved outdoor destinations. Whether you’re casting a line, exploring the water by boat, swimming, or enjoying a peaceful hike, the park offers something for everyone. Elkhead Reservoir State Park is centered around the 900 acre reservoir, a warmwater fishery home to largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and northern pike. The park features both electric and non-electric camping, fishing, boating, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The main boat ramp and campground are less than five miles from the tracts, making it easy to enjoy the water and surrounding trails. Hunting in the area is great, particularly for deer, antelope, and possible late-season elk due to their migration route. Outdoor access is abundant, with numerous entry points into hundreds of thousands of acres of nearby National Forest. These lands offer direct routes into the Quaker Mountain, Bears Ears, and Black Mountain areas, known for their scenic trails, exceptional hunting, beautiful campsites, and alpine waters with fishing. Nearby towns further enrich the experience with river rafting, fishing, shopping at local shops, dining at unique restaurants, and hosting annual events. And just a short drive away, Steamboat Springs offers world-class skiing in its legendary Champagne Powder snow, making this region a year-round haven for recreation. Whether you’re seeking adventure, tranquility, or a blend of both, the North Elkhead Tract #2 places you in proximity to it all!
