The Mary Spring House

Located along Highway 11 in the foothills between Laramie and Centennial, this 35‑acre property offers a rare chance to own property an area where most holdings stretch into the hundreds or thousands of acres. Properties of this size and quality rarely come available in this corridor. With solid construction and a manageable acreage footprint, this home is a strong fit for buyers looking for space, scenery, and a well-built home.

Land

The property offers 35 acres of open ground and scattered timber with Mary Spring running through the property. The setting is quiet and rural, with long views, wildlife, and easy access to the Snowy Range, Centennial, and a beautiful drive to Laramie. Year‑round access comes directly off Highway 11, making the home suitable for full‑time living or a mountain getaway.

Improvements

The home features an open main‑level layout with a spacious kitchen, dining area, and living room centered around a wood‑burning stove. Large windows bring in natural light and views of the surrounding meadows, stunning mountains, and absolutely abundant wildlife. The kitchen includes updated cabinetry, granite counters, and a generous island that works well for cooking or gathering. The living area flows easily into the dining space, creating a functional layout for everyday use or hosting.
A beautiful log staircase leads to two additional bedrooms, a comfortable loft overlooking the main level and a large bunk room, adding ample space for visitors. Each bedroom offers comfortable proportions and the same warm wood finishes carried throughout the house. The interior updates blend seamlessly with the original construction, keeping the cabin feel intact while improving usability and longevity. There is a large unfinished room upstairs that has potential to be a large guest bathroom, an office, an additional bedroom, or game room.

Recreation

The area surrounding the property offers year‑round access to some of Albany County’s best outdoor recreation. The Snowy Range and Medicine Bow National Forest are minutes away, providing miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding, ATV use, and snowmobiling. Nearby alpine lakes offer fishing and boating, while the Snowy Range Ski Area gives local downhill skiing without the crowds. Wildlife is common throughout the valley, with deer, elk, moose, and a variety of mountain species moving through the open meadows and timber. With public land close by in nearly every direction, this location works well for anyone who wants quick, easy access to the mountains without being deep in the backcountry.

Location

30 minutes to Laramie, WY, 1 hour 15 minutes to Fort Collins and 2 hours to Denver International Airport. Laramie provides full services, a regional airport, the University of Wyoming, medical facilities, dining, and year‑round events, making it a reliable home base without losing the small‑town feel. Centennial and the Snowy Range are just up the road, giving quick access to national forest, trailheads, lakes, and winter recreation. The location works well for full‑time living or a second home with convenient access to both town and the mountains.
