Outpost Ranch

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Outpost Ranch is a highly improved western Wyoming ranch combining live water, irrigated agriculture, productive native range, and strong recreational opportunities along the North Platte River.

With more than two miles of North Platte River frontage in one of the most historically significant corridors in the West, the ranch offers a rare balance of production, recreation, and legacy ownership potential. Over the past two years, the property has seen substantial capital improvements including extensive new fencing, irrigation upgrades, water system improvements, and major residential and shop updates.

The ranch supports a traditional cow calf operation, irrigated hay/crop production, and strong recreational use. Mule deer and antelope frequent the northern portion of the ranch, while the river corridor provides habitat for whitetail deer, turkeys, waterfowl, and fishing opportunities.

Dual residences make this property ideal for a generational living situation or an owner wanting to have on-site living accommodations for a hired hand. Both homes are move in ready!

TERRAIN AND CLIMATE

Terrain across The Outpost Ranch ranges from productive river bottoms and irrigated hay ground to rolling native pasture, cedar covered draws, and rugged upland country.

Elevation ranges from approximately 4,300 feet to 4,600 feet above sea level. According to long term NRCS averages, annual precipitation ranges between 12 and 14 inches annually.

In July of 2024, the northern portion of the ranch was impacted by a wildfire that burned an estimated 50% to 70% of the timber located north of the highway. The wildfire altered portions of the timbered landscape and vegetation density throughout parts of the ranch. Portions of the affected area continue to provide grazing and wildlife habitat. Wildfire impact and timber regeneration conditions vary throughout the northern portion of the ranch, and prospective buyers should conduct their own evaluation of the affected acreage and vegetation conditions. The current owners have elected to keep livestock off of all portions of the ranch that were effected by fire for the 2024 and 2025 grazing seasons to allow the native forage to recover. A large portion of the ranch has also been sprayed with Rejuvra to further enhance the native forages and reduce cheat grass.

The varied topography creates strong livestock habitat, excellent wildlife cover, and expansive views across eastern Wyoming.
