Property Description

Waterfront like this is rare in Routt County. Welcome to Two Black Willows, a rare 16.62-acre waterfront property just 20 minutes from Steamboat Springs. Step outside to hear Trout Creek, which runs through your land and see the Mount Zirkel Wilderness greet you every morning. Spend summer days tubing or fishing on your private stretch of water without ever leaving home. Two Black Willows sits in Saddleback Mountain Ranch, a rural, private, and scenic community with no HOA, giving you freedom to enjoy your land as you please. Its lower spot in the subdivision gives you the fastest access to Highway 40, Steamboat, and Hayden Regional Airport. The 16.62 acres are ready for horses, livestock, and outdoor recreation. Beyond the land, a massive workshop awaits. Once a commercial woodworking shop, it still holds an office, paint room, and woodworking equipment: a tradesman's dream. It could also store large equipment, vehicles, or simply serve as parking. A 16kW solar system on the workshop roof is fully paid for, adding supplemental power to the property. The ag buildings carry history. The chicken coop was rescued from the old Mt. Harris mining site and relocated here. The ''Milk Shed,'' once used to milk cattle, now serves as an office and exercise space with potential. The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom main home offers 1,819 square feet, blending history with modern comfort. The original 1951 house was expanded in 2019 with folding patio doors, luxury vinyl flooring, a fireplace, and a primary suite. The kitchen was remodeled with concrete countertops, a tile backsplash, painted cabinetry, and a range hood. Recent improvements include siding, roof, an irrigation well, added solar panels, a replaced domestic well pump, and a new radon mitigation system. Water, land, and a workshop like this rarely come together. Schedule your private showing of Two Black Willows today before someone else calls it home.
