Partner Profile Elk River Partners, LLC is a real estate firm whose developments include Marabou, a 1,717 acre refined ranch community where home is ranching under open skies for a greener tomorrow. Marabou is taking land preservation, stewardship and sustainability to an entirely new level to ensure that the natural beauty of this mountain ranching setting is preserved, the natural wildlife habitats are enhanced, and wildlife carrying capacity is increased. As part of this effort, Marabou purchases renewable energy credits equivalent to 100% of its electricity usage. In addition, Marabou followed the Built Green standards for all construction and completed an extensive river restoration program to restore the natural trout habitat. Stewardship of this cherished ranch land is a promise to future generations to preserve habitat and the historical ranching life. On October 27, 2007, Marabou received the "Sustainable Business Award" from the Steamboat Chamber of Commerce. "We are very proud to be selected as the winner of Steamboat's Sustainable Business," said Jeff Temple, managing partner of Marabou. "We are committed to doing the very best job we can with the environment, the wildlife, energy conservation, and continued agricultural production on the land. This is a true labor of love for us."
