Property Description
183 Wild Horse Ranch is a unique property set on one of the most scenic and protected lots in Wild Horse Ranch. Tucked against dramatic buff rock outcroppings, the property features a two-bedroom cabin and an outbuilding workshop with living quarters, all framed by spectacular views of Sheep Mountain and mature trees to help protect from the elements.
Land
A scenic road from Wild Horse Ranch Road leads to the 40-acre property, where grass meadows and unique sandstone rock formations create a striking natural backdrop. From the elevated plateau to the east down to the southwest corner, the land drops approximately 140 feet, giving the property depth, character, and dramatic shadows throughout the day.
The elevated plateau borders BLM land and offers sweeping views from Jelm Mountain to the Snowy Range and Medicine Bow Peaks. Multiple layers of landscaping, including pine and deciduous trees, shrubs, and rock borders, add texture and wind protection and can be watered via the drip irrigation system.
The adjacent 44.86-acre parcel to the north is also available. The same rock formations continue through that property, including an elevated cave visible from below.
Improvements
A cozy two-bedroom cabin crafted with blue pine wood is surrounded by pines and sits near the north edge of the property. With a propane stove and kitchen facilities, it serves as an ideal base for exploring the ranch and nearby public lands.
A 4,900-square-foot multi-purpose outbuilding offers expansive open space for industrial use, art, woodworking, storage, or creative projects. Several drive-in doors allow for easy movement of vehicles, equipment, and large materials. Upstairs, living quarters with a bedroom, kitchen, and south-facing upper deck make the facility comfortable and self-sustaining.
A covered berm shooting range is located on the property, providing hunters and outdoor enthusiasts a convenient place to practice and hone their skills.
Extensive landscaped grounds are found throughout the property, with rock borders, exterior lighting, well-placed plantings, and gathering areas that add beauty, function, and character to the setting. There is also a chicken coop, and a winding buck fence defines portions of the property edge.
Recreation
Wild Horse Ranch residents enjoy private access to Lake Hattie, complete with a boat ramp just minutes away. Fishing opportunities include Brown, Cutthroat, and Rainbow Trout, Kokanee Salmon, and Yellow Perch.
Located just 11 miles from Centennial, Wyoming—the gateway to the Snowy Mountain Range—this property offers year-round recreation including world-class snowmobiling, downhill and cross-country skiing, ATV riding, hiking, camping, rock climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, and exceptional trout fishing.
Hunters will appreciate abundant wildlife including whitetail deer, elk, moose, antelope, and upland game, with frequent sightings of bald eagles and hawks. The area includes elk Area 9, antelope Area 45, and deer Area 76, with over-the-counter elk tags available.
Region & Climate
At an elevation ranging from 7,200 to 8,000 feet, Wild Horse Ranch experiences the full beauty of southern Wyoming’s four distinct seasons. The ranch is also conveniently located for enjoying Wyoming Cowboy football, the Laramie Jubilee Days rodeo, or a quick trip to the Snowy Range Ski area.
Location
