Stagecoach Neighborhoods
Stagecoach, Colorado is a recreational paradise less than 20 miles from Steamboat Springs. Stagecoach reservoir offers year-round activities including boating, fishing, and ice fishing. There are many neighborhoods in Stagecoach, and each one is unique. The developments closest to Steamboat are the first to be developed. Neighborhoods farther away from the reservoir are more speculative, with investors choosing to purchase land that may not be developed for several years. Click here to see a map of Stagecoach. Here are the main developments in Stagecoach, CO. Please call Eliese Pivarnik at (970) 819-6372 for specific information on prices and amenities, and click here for the 2007 Stagecoach Market Report.

Meadowgreen–Paved roads, public utilities, and views of the lake. For all these comforts, expect to pay more. Lot prices vary–a lot!–but one lot may have the special assessment for all those services (roads and utilities) paid in full while the less expensive one next door wants the buyer to assume the $28,000+ assessment. Lot prices range from $135,000-$320,000, while homes start around $500,000. Eagle’s Watch–There are many houses in this neighborhood with trees. It was one of the original subdivisions with some homes dating to the 1980’s. You’ll enjoy privacy in your back yard from the thick aspen groves and scrub oak. Building sites in Eagle’s Watch are bigger than some of the other developments.

Stagecoach Town Homes were built in 1974 and most have 3 and 4 bedrooms and 1,400-1,750 square feet. They have great views of the lake and many of the units have been updated. Stagecoach Town Homes range in price from $285,000-$325,000. 
Stagecoach Town Homes border the now-defunct Stagecoach Ski Area. Lakeview Meadows–Not officially part of Stagecoach, this development has 6 five acre lots and allows horses. It is very close to the main road to Steamboat across from Meadowgreen. Neighborhoods at Young’s Peak–This planned community offers paved roads and all public utilities. A hiking trail meanders through the neighborhood. Prices start around $175,000 for a building site. 
South Shore–South Shore is off the grid, which means there is no electricity, no public water, and no sewer. Once you have the solar panels up or the wind power installed, there is also no electric bill. The views from South Shore are some of the best in Stagecoach. Most are situated high on the hill with sweeping panoramas of the lake. The next Marina will be built at South Shore where the current boat ramp is located. These lots, when they do come up for sale, rarely last long. Building sites are about $100,000. Morningside–One of the more densely packed neighborhoods in Stagecoach. There are many lots in Morningside but it has the smallest acreage. Make sure you check how many vault permits are available before you buy, or you could be waiting for the utilities to go through before you can build. Lots are in the $60,000-$90,000 range and new homes start around $500,000. Horseback–This subdivision has very pretty building sites with trees and meadow views. It is a bit farther from the main road but very private. Black Horse I and II Sky Hitch I, II, III, IV–These developments are at the end of Stagecoach. They are undeveloped and very primitive, with roughed-in streets and no good winter access. People who buy land here are doing it for investment purposes. The return has been very good over the past five years, with prices almost quadrupling in that time. You can invest in Sky Hitch for around $25,000-$30,000. High Cross Overland–Overland has dirt roads, many of which are not up to grade. Overland is NOT plowed in the winter. South Station–The same as Sky Hitch. These lots are a great investment if you want to purchase raw land, but it isn’t developed enough to live there. Yet.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the comment. The main hold-up for building in Overland is the road improvement, which needs to be brought up to grade before a building permit is issued. Right now, the order for subdivision improvement seems to be: 1. Morningside, 2. South Shore, 3. Horseback. Overland is pretty far back there….
Call me at (970) 819-6372 and I’ll give you the full details.

In your writings about Morningside, you mention the vault permits are about gone. Is there any speculation about when water and septic may be available in that development?

Hi Bob,
As of May 14, 2008, Morningside has eight vault permits available. Morningside has approved a Master Plan, but there are no current plans on funding the improvements or doing the actual work. I’m sure when the time comes, there will be a special assessment of some sort to pay for the improvements.
