With homes built in styles from contemporary to comfortable-mountain, each house tailors to the owner’s desires. But even with the differences between homes, the development is unified through its unprecedented location and beautiful layout.A development located less than a mile from the Gondola, the Sanctuary is aptly named, giving you a safe haven among the crowds to relax in at the end of the day.

In addition to being steps away from a summer and winter playground, the Sanctuary is home to one of the best trail systems within a development in Steamboat. Allowing you to wake in the early morning and be a few minutes walk away from single-track trails. With one trail connecting up to Fish Creek Falls, you have miles of trails to enjoy right out your back door. The development wraps around the Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Championship Golf Course, giving homes easy access to a game of golf and fantastic views. The golf course is beautifully maintained and, in the winter, transforms into a regular training ground for Nordic skiers from all over the Valley.

Located just above downtown Steamboat is an area of town known as Strawberry Park. Homes located here are surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest, allowing you to live in peace and seclusion only 10 minutes away from downtown. Particularly beautiful at this time of year, living in Strawberry Park you find yourself located close to some of the best hiking and biking trails Steamboat has to offer. With the top of Spring Creek trail branching back toward downtown, Soda Mtn trail continuing up into the national forest and miles of additional trails at the top of Buffalo Pass, your options for entertainment out your front door can be endless. And with the change of seasons, the winter turns the trails and the upper part of Buff Pass Road into a beautiful arena for snowshoeing, snowmobiling and back country skiing.

Whether you are looking to relocate in Steamboat Springs, purchase a Colorado vacation home or simply upgrade from the space you are in, Steamboat boasts abundant opportunities and many options for help with your real estates needs. Search our easy Steamboat Search Engine that can guide you through your exploration.

‘When thinking about moving to Steamboat, understanding your family structure, goals, favorite activities and lifestyle are influential in deciding where to live in town. While a small town, Steamboat still has many locations and smaller communities within town that are quite different. If you are a looking for an isolated location where you can get out of bed and walk to your own private fly fishing tail-waters you would probably be looking to live in a different area than a family of four who all love to mountain bike.’

A place still exists where quitting time is sunset, a handshake is a contract and downtown is still your hometown. Steamboat Springs is the kind of place where the snow is measured by the number of fence wires it covers. Where the local high school band marches down main street…on skis. Where the West’s last free flowing tributary still surges through your backyard. Where brown, rainbow and cutthroat aren’t the only things you’re hooked on. Where people shovel their roofs. And, where kids start skiing/riding as soon s they’re old enough to walk.

It’s streets named Deerfoot Avenue, Old Fish Creek Falls Road, Yampa Street and Black Bear Lane. It’s a place that has produced more winter Olympians than any other town in the country, earning it the name Ski Town, U.S.A. And, a place where many had originally planned spending a vacation and ended up spending a lifetime. In this authentic ranching community, they say you can count on two things falling in love with this unique, four season mountain neighborhood and the lightest, driest, fluffiest Champagne Powder snow in the world. More than a dozen high-end developments, mixing residential and commercial, as well as a comprehensive and dynamic streetscape design concepts are bringing renewed vibrancy and invigoration to Old Town Steamboat.

What happens when “elegant comfort” meets “Genuine Colorado”?  Where 3,600 vertical feet of fun and 165 trails of adventure ask you to come out and play? Where you’re likely to see Olympians  in training, snowboarders in the extreme and toddlers learning to snowplow, all in the same day? With an average of more than 28 feet of its legendary Champagne Powder snow each year, Steamboat has been prime ski territory for over 40 years. That explains why those who know Steamboat well describe this place in just two words: Genuine Colorado.

Its always fun to see what others are saying about your town, especially when you can find great reviews in some fun and reputable sources. But no matter where you check, a guidebook, newspaper or online, it appears as though everyone loves Steamboat for its down-to-earth nature and world class facilities. Below are just 2 of the reviews that i was able to easily find. So dont take my word for Steamboat being great, check out what they have to say as well below!

Frommers – A well touted and highly revered guidebook for places all around the world, Frommers Guidebook give a bit of insight into Steamboat’s heritage and how it is still infused with the lifestyle today. Check out their thoughts below.

‘One of my favorite Colorado resort towns, in part because it’s a real town in addition to being a resort, Steamboat Springs fuses two very different worlds — a great ski area with a genuine Western ranching center. This historic town, with a population of just under 10,000, is a pleasant laid-back community where ranchers still go about their business in cowboy boots and Stetsons, seemingly unaware of the fashion statement they are making to city-slicker visitors.

At an elevation of 6,695 feet, Steamboat Springs numerous mineral springs and abundant wild game made this a summer retreat for Utes centuries before the arrival of white settlers. The bubbling mineral springs also caused many a mid-19th-century trapper to swear he heard the chugging sound of “a steamboat comin’ round the bend” — hence the name. But prospectors never thrived here as they did elsewhere in the Rockies, though coal mining has proven profitable. Ranching and farming were the economic mainstays until tourism arrived, and agriculture remains of key importance today.

This area is perhaps best known as the birthplace of organized skiing in Colorado. Although miners, ranchers, and mail carriers used primitive skis for transportation as early as the 1880s, it wasn’t until Norwegian ski-jumping and cross-country champion Carl Howelsen built Howelsen Hill ski jump here in 1914 that skiing began to be considered a recreational sport in Colorado. In 1963, Storm Mountain was developed for skiing, and Steamboat’s future as a modern ski resort was ensured. The mountain was renamed Mount Werner after the 1964 avalanche death in Europe of Olympic skier Buddy Werner, a Steamboat Springs native. Howelsen Hill, owned by the city of Steamboat Springs, continues to operate as a facility for ski jumpers, as well as a fun little downtown ski area.

The New York Times - Another great review that describes Steamboat’s natural beauty and the great combination of athletic activities to enjoy throughout the day no matter the season!

“Situated in the Yampa River Valley in Colorado’s northwestern corner, Steamboat Springs exudes a subtle beauty. Fresh snow blankets the meadows and aspens, and Douglas firs look as if they’ve been dipped in frost. Storms from the Pacific charge unimpeded into Steamboat releasing froths of ”champagne” powder onto its peaks. At 6,695 feet, Steamboat Springs is a true mountain town; in addition to skiers, you’ll run across whitewater paddlers, mountain bikers and trail runners. One tip for visitors: if the combination of the high altitude and the high-quality beers sold at many of the Steamboat restaurants and bars proves to be a debilitating combination, take advantage of the free city bus shuttle that operates every 20 minutes from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. each day.”

“Steamboat is a modern, expanding ski resort that prides itself on being a little bit wild, wide-open and big. The trails at some points are 240 feet wide, just as the main street in the old part of town is expansive because decades ago it had to accommodate cattle drives. The snow-dusted town pushes the extremes of being suitable for families and singles ready to take on a Western-flavored ski holiday. The inducements, besides the saloons and slopes, include Kids Ski Free and Kids Rent Free for children 12 and under and activities (not free) that range from hot-air balloon trips to total bliss in bubbling hot springs.”

“The town seemingly has a fat wallet with which to face the competition for the ski dollar, and an unabashed campaign slogan: ”More mountain than Aspen, more powder than Vail, more lifts than Snowmass, more sun than Sun Valley, more bars than Utah.”

What it’s like to Live in Steamboat Springs, Colorado?

Living in Steamboat Springs is waking up every morning taking in the stunning views, beauty, culture, fresh mountain air and of course the many exhilarating activities and events that go on daily in Steamboat’s lifestyle. Living here for many of us, is a choice of lifestyle. For each person it is different, but there are many common reasons. The ‘Steamboat lifestyle’ is based on the abundant options we have for recreation, ranging special places like Rabbit Ears Pass, Emerald Mountain, Buff Pass, the Steamboat Ski Area and the local trails that connect us to them.

Most of us are excited to get up with the rise of the sun in effort to not let a ray pass that we are not enjoying; Steamboat gives us this opportunity. There are not many places in the world with an ice-rink, an active rodeo ground, world-class fly-fishing, a beautiful River that flows through our valley and endless single-track right at the edge of of both downtown and the mountain.

“The Steamboat lifestyle is defined by the season. Running shoes are abandoned for skate skis, bike shorts and snow pants trade places in your drawer, and sandals are abandoned for warm, comfortable boots. Until summer comes around again. For you this could mean waking up extra early for a solitary bike-ride up the mountain, getting high enough to enjoy the sun-rise before your quick decent. Or perhaps it is a hike during your lunch break at one of many trails that begin right downtown. With the sentiment, ‘we work to live, not live to work’ shared by many employers throughout town, many will be eager to join you.”

Why Steamboat?

“The friendly community, western heritage, laid back attitude, fantastic ski mountain and hundreds of miles of single-track hiking trails are only a few of the reasons people come to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This town truly does have a unique set of traits that set it apart from anywhere else in the world. And no matter which aspect initially drew you into town, whether the ski mountain or the Friday night rodeos, it is the combination that makes Steamboat what it truly is. And upon discovering this, many of us never want to leave.”

I realize that the community and lifestyle are reasons for making the change to live in Steamboat Springs. And they are the reasons my family and I came here too.
