The
South Valley stretches south of Steamboat Springs and encompasses Highway 131’s
surrounding areas. Bountiful
and picturesque, the area boasts high-end developments with low-density living.
A portion of these developments are Land Preservation Sub-Divisions, which
offer large acreage but concentrate the housing to a specific zone in order to
leave superior open space for wildlife preserve and aesthetic appeal. The area
has two golf courses; Catamount (private), and Haymaker (public). Many of the
ranches in this Valley are under conservation easement and are protected from
any future development. Overall, the South Valley offers large lots, expansive
common areas and panoramic views of the ski mountain and the meanders of the
Yampa River.
