Marabou has 18 developer-owned homesites remaining of the original 62, although there are also resales available.  See all the available Marabou Ranch homesites for sale.

One of the best things about purchasing a homesite at Marabou in Steamboat is the use of the owners cabins.  There are 6 “cabins” where owners can stay several weeks a year enjoying all the fun Marabou offers until you choose to build.

In the past 2 1/2 years, there have been five homesite sales at Marabou.  Like the rest of the country, Marabou has not been immune to foreclosures and most of these sales have been bank-owned.  If you would like to know more about buying at Marabou, please call us at 970-846-8284.

There are 62 homesteads in Marabou Ranch. 40 have been sold.

Here are the top five reasons to own a home site at Marabou–even if you never get around to building your dream home.

1. There are six Owners’ Cabins where you can stay several weeks a year and enjoy all the trail rides, fly-fishing, mountain biking, and pampering you can fit into a day.
2. Owners and their guests can enjoy all the fun Marabou offers while their home is built, or owners and guests can enjoy all the fun Marabou offers and build their house…someday.
3. Marabou has the friendliest, most accomplished Master Guides to help you have more fun. They have Olympian and World Champion athletes on staff.
4. Marabou is financially sound (I’m taking their word for it; I haven’t seen the financials)
5. They offer financing for new owners, which is great in this age of tight credit.

Several Steamboat luxury homes sold in April, 2010 perhaps signaling a market bottom in Steamboat’s upscale resort real estate market.  There were also vacant land sales in Marabou Ranch and Catamount Lake as buyers/builders looking to build custom homes took advantage of  low prices.  (The Marabou Ranch homesite was bank-owned, and the Catamount Lake property which included two home sites–lots 9 and 10–was listed at $1,300,000 and closed at $830,000 cash.)   In addition to the sales, one homesite in The Sanctuary went under contract.

Two properties sold in Anglers Retreat within the last two months at greatly reduced prices.  The Steamboat homes were listed at $1,975,000 and $1,710,ooo and closed at $1,375,000 and $1,200,000 respectively.

A gorgeous brand-new custom home on Anglers Drive was listed at $5,495,000 and sold for $4,000,000.

Buyers can purchase a brand-new home in one of Steamboat’s luxury neighborhoods for reduced prices.  (Many of these homes are developer owned and started during better times.)  These new upscale homes are some of the best values in Steamboat.
