Riviera on the Elk is a rare riverfront property offering natural beauty, privacy, and direct access to world-class outdoor recreation—just miles from skiing in Steamboat Springs. This 1.71-acre gem has the Upper Elk River running through it with thousands of acres of National Forest at the back fence—a highly sought-after combination and rarely dupilicated. A lovely home sits at the river’s edge and welcomes you with a classic covered porch featuring oak flooring, flower boxes, and hummingbirds—perfect for the rocking-chair surveillance of the property! The original portion of the home was built with a cozy country kitchen, living and dining areas with river views, a custom rock fireplace, one bedroom, a full bath and a laundry/utility room. In 2002, the home was expanded to include a spacious great room with hardwood flooring, entran heating, a second rock fireplace, wood beam ceilings, LED lighting, and a wall of windows to take in the incredible views, with a door out to an east-facing deck. There’s also a handy butler’s pantry with standard appliances and a whimsical quarter bath on this level.
Upstairs, the primary suite is its own private retreat with vaulted wood ceilings, a sunny east-facing balcony off a cozy reading/TV nook, and a bonus south-facing deck to take in evening sunsets over the river. The space is large and flexible, with a full bathroom, walk-in closet, washer/dryer, and utility sink making life up top easy.
Outside is where this property truly shines. Tiered decks and steps lead to the river, where rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout await. A greenhouse offers fresh veggies, and there’s an updated stable, separate workshop, and a historic Timing Hut—relocated from Howelsen Hill—now serving as a sweet little day cabin. The mature landscaping is enchanting, dotted with yard ornaments, wildflowers and daily visits from local critters. Whether you’re fishing, rafting, snowmobiling, or simply relaxing, Riviera on the Elk checks all the boxes. LOT 3 ZIRKELVILLE EXEMPTION
