By Brian Weis

Luxury homesites in Colorado continue to be popular with affluent buyers seeking wide-open spaces and room for their families to roam, as evidenced by record sales at Alpine Mountain Ranch & Club, a stunning luxury ranch community in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Three new homesites were recently listed for sale offering five-acre homesites within a community bordered by Steamboat Resort and connected by golf cart path to Catamount golf club. Amenities include private fly fishing on the Yampa River, on-site equestrian facilities, stocked fishing lake, backcountry retreat, Owners' Lodge, guest cabin, concierge services, 10+ miles of on-site trails, and membership opportunities at ski-in/ski-out, Alpine Mountain Summit Club.

"We've had record-breaking sales the last two years," says Suzanne Schlicht, Senior Vice President and Director of Sales at Alpine Mountain Ranch & Club. "Our location offering wide-open spaces with long-range views only minutes from town and the ski resort, together with our on-site amenities, is really resonating with folks looking for a new place to call home."

Homesite #25 is centrally located on the ranch, adjoining the Pine Spring Gulch portion of the upland open space. This gently sloping homesite is located on a private cul-de-sac with just two homesites. Vegetation is characterized by aspen, evergreens and gambel oak. The Steamboat Ski Resort gondola, ski trails and Mount Werner can be viewed to the northeast and Emerald Mountain to the northwest. The Pine Springs trail offers convenient access to the National Forest and is maintained in winter for snow shoeing.

Schlicht continued, "The lifestyle and authenticity of Steamboat is hard to match. Folks often come for the Winter but stay for the Summer with fly-fishing, river-floating, mountain biking, festivals and farmers markets that rival our legendary 'Champagne Powder' skiing."

Featuring stunning views of the Flat Top mountains, Homesite #35 overlooks the South Valley and is bordered by Catamount Ranch golf course fairways on the south and upland open space on the north. Bathed in sunlight, this South-facing homesite offers easy access to the Weiskopf-designed Catamount Ranch golf course, which is connected by a cart path just steps from the homesite. Vegetation is characterized by sage meadow, serviceberry shrubs, and gambel oak.

"Another attraction is our affiliated Alpine Master Builders that offer Design + Build services to alleviate the headaches and speed up the process of designing and building a new home," said Schlicht.

For those seeking privacy, Homesite #43 is a tranquil valley homesite bordering Walton Creek and situated on a cul-de-sac shared with only one other homesite. Featuring steps-away access to the Owners Lodge, Lonecast Lake, and the community's established hiking trails, the site features quick access to both on-site ranch amenities and proximity to town and the ski area just minutes away. Covered by sage meadow, serviceberry shrubs and shielded by creekside cottonwoods, Homesite #43 is bordered by Catamount Ranch golf course.

"Our land preservation development model offers limited homesites paired with 900-acres dedicated to wildlife preserves and open space," said Schlicht in closing. "So, offering three new homesites available for sale is a big deal and recent history suggests they won't last long!"

Currently, homesites are priced from $2 million.

Neighboring Catamount Ranch & Club offers a majestic Tom Weiskopf signature course spanning alpine meadows beneath the splendor of Steamboat's great peaks. The par 72 championship course of 7,088 yards is sanctioned by the Audubon Society for its environmentally sensitive design. Full facilities include a Members' grille, a full-service restaurant, a golf shop, and the clubhouse where Members relax and enjoy stunning views from the deck.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
