Property Description

Welcome to Two Black Willows, a rare 16.62-acre waterfront property located 20 minutes from Steamboat Springs. Spend summer days tubing on your private stretch of Trout Creek which runs through the property. Two Black Willows resides in Saddleback Mountain Ranch, a rural and scenic community with no HOA, giving you the freedom to enjoy your land as you please. The homestead is named after the original owners, the Black family and the stoic two willow trees on the property. As one of the first parcels in the subdivision, its a breeze getting to Highway 40, Steamboat, and the Hayden Regional Airport. The acreage is ready for horses, livestock, and outdoor recreation. Beyond the land, a massive workshop awaits. Once a commercial woodworking shop, there is office space, a paint room, and woodworking equipment- a tradesman's dream. It could also store large equipment, vehicles, or simply serve as parking for your RV, snowmobiles etc. A 16kW solar system on the workshop roof is fully paid for, adding supplemental power to the property. The battery for the house provides almost instantaneous back-up service if there is a power outage. The ag buildings possess some Routt County history. The chicken coop was rescued from the old Mt. Harris mining site, while the "Milk Shed" was once used to milk cattle, now serves as an office and exercise space. The original 1951 house was expanded in 2019 to comprise the 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home of 1,819 square feet, with improvements including folding patio doors, luxury vinyl flooring, a fireplace perfectly blending history with modern comfort. 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, domestic well pump, and a new radon mitigation system. Water, land, and a workshop like this rarely come together.
