31745 Soda Creek Rim Road

Description

It is an iconic Steamboat location that everyone knows., rural, yet close to downtown., historical, but timeless, and fondly named Strawberry Park for its once famous strawberry fields. Strawberry Park is a largely enclosed valley, bordering Steamboat city limits, with gateways to Routt National Forest- where recreational activities are abundant! Situated between two renowned creeks., Spring Creek on the east and Soda Creek on the north and west, lies the open valley of the Park. It is here on the rim, overlooking Soda Creek that a rare, 13-acre estate is available for the first time in decades. The ranch-style home features vaulted ceilings on the entire main level. A wood-burning fireplace is the focal point of the great room with native rock encasing it from the solid oak floors to the beams above. Three bedrooms and three baths occupy this level, with a fourth bedroom and bath located on the lower, walk-out level. Just like the Strawberry Park legend, every exceptional home has a story, and this tale is a beautiful one. Owned by true patriots, the lower-level family and recreation room features a Navy theme, “Steamboat style”. A magnificent custom bar is the gathering spot with the back bar highlighting the top shelf favorites in a refined antique hutch. At the end of the bar, is a secret room for you to stash your prized wine collection. This property has been lovingly cared for, but more importantly, lovingly shared. Sit out on the front porch and watch the sun rise over the Steamboat Ski area or congregate on the large deck and become mesmerized by the burbles of Soda Creek and the acres and acres of aspens and pines. Be the next to make your mark on this incredible slice of Strawberry Park where you can enjoy all of this plus the affordable agricultural property tax status and one of the few places in the county where there is natural gas.
