Wildhorse Meadows, Steamboat Springs’ First Master Planned Residential Resort Community, Unveiled
Steamboat Springs, CO (January 16, 2007) - Less than 6 months after Steamboat Springs City Council approved the development plan for Steamboat Springs’ first master planned residential resort community, Steamboat-based developer, Resort Ventures West now has a final development plat approved, 33 homesite owners and construction underway at Wildhorse Meadows. The 47-acre site is centrally located between the mountain and downtown and will be connected to the base of Steamboat Ski Area via the proposed Wildhorse Gondola.
The Wildhorse Meadows master plan has been designed to marry old with new, fostering simple, un-complicated living that pays tribute to the area’s western culture. The developer’s vision is to preserve Steamboat’s history and distinct Western feel while incorporating the modern facilities of a new resort neighborhood. This special residential resort community plans to offer a mix of housing types including resort lodge suites, townhomes, mountain lofts, a branded hotel, and attainable housing, and include a range of community amenities. With the slopes of Steamboat Springs at the community’s back door, the proposed gondola will tie the development to the base of the mountain, eliminating the hassle of shuttle schedules or parking. An extensive walking and biking trail system will connect the neighborhoods within Wildhorse to the town of Steamboat.
“Wildhorse Meadows is meant to combine the charm of a quiet Western town with mountain community amenities,” said David Hill, President, Resort Ventures West. “Very few mountain developments successfully embrace the area’s character and architectural spirit, while also providing the modern design and amenities of today. Wildhorse will do this.”

Also within walking distance is the Steamboat Country Store, an authentic general store that will serve as a meeting place for the community with fresh brewed coffee, prepared foods and postal services.
