Sidney Peak Ranch features 32 home sites on 1500 acres that are deeded to the homeowners association. Ranch sites start at $890,000 and range in size from 5 to 12 acres. 18 of these home sites have already sold and closed and there are only 14 remaining. If you have been paying attention to our market, you have already figured out that the remaining 14 probably will not last long, especially at these prices.
Sidney Peak Ranch is a gated, private working ranch community with paved roads, miles of riding trails, an indoor barn and arena, architectural controls, professional management and each home site includes a Premier Catamount Membership and use of the owners guest house. Sidney Peak Ranch is just 12 minutes from the base of the ski area and features wonderful views of Mt. Werner from practically anywhere on the ranch.
If you like the feeling of wide open spaces, but want to be close to all of the activity, Sidney Peak Ranch may be the perfect spot for you and your family. If horses are your thing, you definetely need to see this beautiful development.
Trailhead Lodge @ Wildhorse Meadows will be an 86-suite condo/hotel at the heart of this development and just steps away from the Wildhorse Gondola, The Ranch House, the Wildhorse Athletic Club and the Steamboat Country Store. Plans include Studio, One Bedroom, One Bedroom plus den, Two Bedroom, Three Bedroom and Three Bedrooms plus den. The style is a refined mountain design that blends thecomforts of old with the sophistication of today.
Reservations can start being placed in early May and by mid-May the Preview Kits and Price Ranges should be distributed. A Discovery Kit and a VIP Event are planned for late June and Legal Documents along with Detailed Pricing Sheets should be out in early July. In late July, the Selection Event will be held. Since your reservation gives you priority at this Selection Event, get yours in soon if you are interested in this project. Call (970) 291-1046 or email me @ Stacy@SoldOnSteamboat.com and I will get the forms out to you today.

It took just four months for the 41 single-family homesites in The Range @ Wildhorse Meadows to be sold. That's amazing- especially with price tags of $475,000 - $600,000 a piece!! 32 of these lots sold in the first eight weeks. According to Matt Stensland's article in the Steamboat Pilot & Today, the 41 homesites in The Range @ Wildhorse Meadows sold for a combined $21.6 million.
The future homes in this subdivision are limited to 3,600 sq. feet and will be built subject to the architectural standards that have been put in place. What a fantastic location and owner's will enjoy family based amenities that reflect the true spirit of Steamboat living including athletic club, country store, skating pond, grotto style pools, bike and walking paths, old barn community meeting place and in community gondola with direct access to skiing. Infrastructure such as streets and sidewalks are being built and expected to be completed this summer and homesite owners will then be able to begin building their homes.
What is a yawn and why do people yawn? Yawning has fascinated people for hundreds of years, and many superstitions and myths have been created over the years.
Today we know that a yawn is a reflex of inhalation and exhalation that draws more oxygen into the bloodstream. A reflex is a built-in physical reaction that people often do not have control over. A yawn is often associated with a person being tired, but this is not always the cause for a yawn. People yawn for many reasons including stress, boredom, emotion and over-work.
Have you noticed that yawning seems to be contagious? If one person yawns, this appears to cause another person to yawn. Researchers have found that 40-60% of people who see a picture of someone yawning will yawn themselves. Even reading the word YAWN can make people yawn.
Although this “contagious” yawning behavior is not understood, it has been suggested that this could be the result of an unconscious herding behavior — a subtle way to communicate group behavior, such as when a birds follow the behavior of one bird, and all rise together as a whole flock.
Maybe a yawn is a signal to the group that it’s time to go to sleep. Or if someone yawns when they’re bored, it may be a sign to change the topic of conversation.
Yawning is not limited to humans. Animals of all types yawn. If you have a dog or cat, you’ve probably seen your pet yawn several times. Even some birds yawn such as cockatiel parrots, Adelie penguins and Emperor penguins.
Some of the more scientific explanations of why we yawn are caused by physical needs. One likely explanation is that the yawning reflex is triggered when our blood needs more oxygen. The deep breath helps replenish the levels of oxygen in our blood. Another common theory is that the yawn help regulate our body temperature. Other hypotheses suggest that the same chemicals in our brain that affect our moods and emotions cause us to yawn.
Some people think that yawning is rude and suggests that you are bored or uninterested. Superstitions about yawning have been around for hundreds of years and stem from the ancient Greeks. A common superstition says that a person must cover his or her mouth when yawning so that the soul does not escape through the mouth. Other superstitions say that yawning is a sign that danger is near. Today most people do not believe these superstitions and know that a yawn is a physical reflex.
Did you yawn while reading this? I did!

The Stonewood development features 23 townhomes with a beautiful "Olde World" European mountain design. Currently there is only one unit available that is ready for immediate occupancy and it is the Oakstone Model, Unit # 6, listed for $1,576,000. This unit has 3,465 sq. ft. and is offered furnished at this price. The Elmstone Model, Unit #8, was listed for $1,508,000 and it went under contract this past week. That's it for Phase II, everything else has either sold or is currently under contract.
 
Phase III construction will begin soon with delivery on the first half of this phase being in early spring 2008 and the second half of the phase is scheduled to be delivered in the early spring of 2009. There are 5 units in the first half of phase III and two of those are already under contract. the Elmstone plan, Unit # 20 is available for $1,699,000 and the Oakstone plan, Units # 21 & 22 are available for $1,732,500 (each). Pricing for the second half of phase III has not been released yet, but you can bet they will be going up due to the demand at Stonewood and in Steamboat in general.
Those who are lucky enough to call themselves owners at Stonewood have seen some nice appreciation. The first units sold in September of 2005 for about $297/sq. ft. That same month another unit closed at $338/sq. ft. In May of 2006 a unit closed at $349/sq. ft. and in February of this year a unit closed at $425/sq. ft. Currently, units that are sale pending are listed at $450/sq. ft. and one unit (#6) can be bought for $455 a sq. ft. The rest of the units that are currently on the market are listed at $500/sq. ft. and one unit (a resale) is listed at $572/sq. ft.!!!!
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? #6 is sounding like a sweetheart of a deal, huh? Call me (970) 291-1046 and let's go see it.
I ran into Todd Allsbery, Ownership Representative for One Steamboat Place, and got a quick update on what's going on over there. They are seeing a tremendous response to both their full and 1/8th ownership packages. Their full ownership units start at $2.7 Million and they have almost more than double the reservations for these units than the number of units they have to sell. Fantastic! In addition, their 1/8th ownerhip reservations are coming in at a steady pace as well- they are at about 40% with these reservations. Yes, they have ownerships availalbe, but the price is increasing as time goes by and reservations go up, so if you are thinking about investing in One Steamboat Place, do it now! Contact me at Stacy@SoldOnSteamboat.com and I will email you the information and reservation form. 1/8th ownerships are now selling for $495,000 and they started at $415,000!! As I mentioned, another price increase is just around the corner. They've gone from $415K, to $435K, to $455K to $475K and now they are at $495K- can you guess what the next price point will be?
