Reaping the Rewards of the Sustainability and Preservation Efforts

Imagine yourself living on a gorgeous parcel of ranch land that has been touched by no one but Mother Nature for thousands of years; then consider the benefits of living life on the sustainable shared properties of Marabou. If the love of the outdoors and need for escape has brought you to the crossroads of purchasing a ranch property, it should be dependably beautiful every time you visit.

As the highest of priorities, even from the beginning of the shared ranch concept, Marabou has made the sustainability and preservation of the ranch properties their utmost priority. Marabou has also ensured that the natural beauty of the land will not be tampered with by the development of the ranch homes or usage thereof. Building a home at Marabou and enjoying life on the ranch is effortless and consistently enjoyable because of the ongoing respect of the land.

Years before the first Owners' Cabin was built on the property, Marabou intricately planned out the community with balances between man and nature. The ranch properties in this community are spaced out enough to give owners room to breathe and the land that the community shares never actually feels shared unless you're taking part in some of the always-entertaining community activities.

Sustainability is built into the structure of Marabou, from the rotational grazing of the cattle that share the ranch property to the preservation of the mating grounds of indigenous species. Marabou's presence is seamlessly integrated into the landscape and amenities of the ranch, although at first glance you might be surprised to discover that the land had been touched by human hands to begin with - it appears that unspoiled. Marabou understands that in order to sustain the land for future generations, steps must be taken in the present to ensure the continued vitality of the land. As an industry leader in utilizing green building resources, the developers of the Marabou mountain properties have achieved numerous awards in regards to utilizing sustainable practices for their development. All of the development's structures have achieved an average of 140 points from Built Green® and in 2007, the properties received the Steamboat Springs Chamber of Commerce Sustainable Business of the Year, earned a Gold Planet Certification and were honored by the Environmental Protection Agency.
