Buyer/Investor Opportunity Out-of-State!!Some of the hottest real estate markets in the country are the counties in Colorado with legendary ski areas of Aspen, Vail and Steamboat Springs.  In fact, Routt County, where Steamboat  Springs is located,  set an all-time record for real estate sales. Estimates are that $ 1.5 BILLION in sales was done in 2007 when the final figures are in.  Of the three areas,  Steamboat Springs, bolstered by the new  owners of the ski area, Intrawest,  provides the biggest opportunities because of their undervalued market.   Heavy construction on condos, hotels and resorts continues right through this winter season (note  the crane in the photo) Now, with land becoming scarcer close to town, the famous Steamboat Campground is now on the market, with 19 acres within the city limits, along the banks of the Yampa River.  This is priceless land that can't be duplicated!  Asking price for this all-season RV resort, one of the few that's open in the winter,  is $ 4.5 million.   We're working with top Steamboat realtors on this offering.  Who knows what future use this close-in land could have?

   

A full-season property, close to skiing, hot springs, hiking, boating and shopping, with FREE city bus service to the property!
