Just minutes from Main Street, the home offers the rare ability to walk or bike to shops, restaurants and events while enjoying sweeping views in this 3,992 sq. ft. home. Masterfully designed by Bruce Caplowe, this five-bedroom residence captures panoramic views of the Steamboat Ski Resort, Howelsen Hill, the Flat Tops, Buffalo Pass, and the twinkling lights of town. Every element reflects exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design. The great room is anchored by a dramatic reverse-coffered ceiling, a striking six-foot gas fireplace wrapped in designer tile, and an artfully selected lighting package that elevates the space. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking town and Howelsen Hill. Every bedroom enjoys panoramic mountain and valley views. 86 Woods DR is an exceptional opportunity to own one of Steamboat’s truly remarkable residences.
Born and raised on a farm in South Africa, Michael was fortunate to have an American mother and after graduating high school moved to the United States in order to attend the University of Oklahoma. Michael excelled in rugby while in school, achieving All American honors and following graduation from university, Michael represented the USA in the 1991 Rugby World Cup. The competitive drive from sports then turned to business and Michael purchased a struggling travel agency and over the course of 18 years turned it into one of the largest privately held corporate/sports travel agencies in Colorado. Travel Corp enabled Michael and Colleen with their two young sons Devin and Troy to move from Denver to Steamboat Springs in 2002, where Colleen's family resides. While Colleen pursued real estate, Michael commuted to Denver for Travel Corp finally selling then subsequently investing and running FridgeWize in Glenwood Springs CO. Colleen's success in real estate made for an easy decision for Michael and Colleen to finally "join forces" and continue to grow her business. Real Estate is now the family business and Michael and Colleen have formed De Jong Team Steamboat.
Michael did an excellent job from start to finish. He really understood what we were looking for (a home with character) and was instrumental in helping us find it. Michael was responsive and flexible in responding our requests for detailed information (including narrated video s) as we where evaluating multiple properties long distance. He is very knowledgeable on the local real estate and construction market and helped us find a place that met our expectations and within our expressed budget. Colleen was extremely helpful when it came time to review and approve closing documents. Cristin is an incredible asset to Michael and Colleen by providing additional support at critical moments and facilitating communication. On the whole this team provided exceptional service.

Colleen and Michael are more than real estate agents. Not only did they manage us through a difficult purchase, but being out of town, they were our eyes, ears and our physical presence at the property especially in the final days before closing. They arranged everything for us to get us to closing - from being at inspections, helping to hire the right people to get things done, to finding us specialized people to answer our questions, to even cleaning last minute things to make our home just perfect when we walked in. We have used Colleen and Michael now for this our third transaction and would not go anywhere else. Colleen spent countless hours on the phone with us during the negotiation and felt that she was available 24/7. If you are looking for someone that will walk with you the entire process and treat you like a member of their family when handling the transaction, the de Jongs are the real deal.

Excellent agent! Colleen and her husband, Michael, know what they're doing and really took a sincere intereste in helping us find a great house. They were always responsive to our questions and continually involved throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Colleen and Michael.

We just closed on our home we designed, built and raised our family in over the past 15 years. The de Jong Team is excellent. Very knowledgeable of the market, extremely professional, supported us when glitches occurred and welcomed our involvement in the marketing process, which was very important to me us. They went above and beyond. One example: The last piece of "furniture" left unsold or otherwise given away was our treadmill (it killed me, but we won't have room for it at the next place). So, Cristin Frey (Marketing & Listing Coordinator) jumped in and ran a Facebook ad and it sold within 24 hours. Out the door it went. The de Jong team gets" that selling a high-end home (or any home) requires skillful marketing... it's not just "sales". We are working with them on our next place and will always keep then in mind for any future real estate endeavors we engage in. Definitely recommend!
