Santa, Baby?
The same generous St. Nick who doles out “a duplex and checks” like the one in fashionistas’ favorite holiday tune — “Santa, Baby” — might check out one of the luxury mountain properties listed by Hall and Hall Brokers. Among them is Round Mountain Ranch in Steamboat Springs. This $18.5 million, 1,088-acre estate in the Elk River Valley would jumpstart any family Christmas as it includes a working ranch, excellent fishing spots, a 5,126- square-foot residence, a restored river cabin, guest accommodations, barns and a state-of-the-art indoor arena.
