Bow Fiddle Ranch
$10,000,000
1,050 Acres
Laramie, Wyoming, 82070
There’s a quiet understanding you get when standing in the Centennial Valley — a feeling that this place has been providing for people and wildlife long before we arrived and will continue to do so long after we’re gone. Bow Fiddle Ranch stretches across 1,050± acres here, with 1.5 miles of the Little Laramie River flowing cold and steady, born of mountain snowmelt high above.Land At 7,600 feet, the river is unhurried but strong, winding through cottonwood bottoms and willow banks as if it knows exactly what it’s here to do — shelter trout, water the meadows, and give those who stand at its edge a reason to pause. You see it in the deep runs, the shaded pools, the cut banks — each a small reminder that good things can be both quiet and enduring. Around the river, the pastures and sub-irrigated meadows offer seasonal forage for livestock and cover for wildlife, not because someone told them to, but because that’s the way it’s always been. In this way, the land seems to understand its role: to sustain, to protect, and to give generously without asking for much in return.Improvements The main ranch house, first raised in the early 1900s, now wears the updates of modern living without losing its old soul. Three bedrooms and two baths, a detached garage — enough to welcome family or guests with the ease that comes from knowing you’ve got a place to return to. The manager’s or guest house, older still and dating back to the late 1800s, sits closer to the river. Its two bedrooms and one bath speak of simpler days, and its location near the heart of the operation makes it more than just a home — it’s a watchful post over the work and water that keep this ranch alive. The historic barn, once a tool of necessity, has been restored into a space where people gather. Weddings, retreats, reunions — moments that remind us life isn’t only about the work we do but also about the people we do it with. Around these, the ranch infrastructure stands ready: split-rail and barbed-wire fencing, working corrals, a newer shop and garage, and the outbuildings that quietly keep the operation steady year after year.Recreation The Little Laramie River is the kind of water that makes you slow down, whether you intend to or not. Recognized as one of the premier trout fisheries in the West, it offers a rare blend of beauty, solitude, and productivity. Its cold, clear flows, fed by mountain snowmelt, support strong populations of wild brown and rainbow trout, with many exceeding 16 inches and the potential for true trophy-class fish. Deep runs, shaded pools, and well-formed riffles provide ideal holding water throughout the season, allowing anglers to work a variety of approaches — from drifting nymphs through pocket water to casting dries along undercut banks. This is the sort of river where the next cast could produce the fish you’ll talk about for years, and where even an average day is something most anglers only dream about.Beyond the river, the ranch’s setting opens into the Medicine Bow National Forest and Sheep Mountain, country that holds a large elk herd offering genuine opportunities for bulls right on the property. Mule deer, whitetail, pronghorn, moose, and black bear share this landscape, making each outing into the hills an encounter with wild Wyoming. In the warmer months, miles of public land invite hiking, horseback riding, and ATV exploration through varied alpine and valley terrain. When winter arrives, the area shifts into a snow-covered playground for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and downhill skiing at Snowy Range Ski Area, just minutes from the ranch. No matter the season, the land and water here keep offering reasons to step outside.Agriculture There’s a deep satisfaction in watching cattle thrive on grass you’ve tended, knowing the same cycles have played out here for generations. Bow Fiddle Ranch has long been a summer grazing ground, capable of supporting herds that stay strong through the season. Sub-irrigated pastures keep the forage rich, while the fencing, laid out with thought and care, makes it easier to move and manage the herd without fighting the land. The roads crisscrossing the ranch and the sturdy working facilities aren’t just conveniences — they’re the tools that let you work with the seasons instead of against them. The cattle don’t know it, but they’re part of something steady, something proven. And that’s a rare thing to say these days.Region & Climate The Centennial Valley is more than a backdrop — it’s part of the story. Known for its open views and deep ranching roots, this place carries a kind of heritage you can feel. Old homesteads still stand, weathered but upright, speaking to the grit it took to make a living here. But it’s not all history — the same mountains that tested the first settlers now offer a draw for anglers, hunters, hikers, and those who just want to breathe air that smells of pine and sage. Being this close to the Medicine Bow National Forest and the Snowy Range means there’s always something to do, always a trail to follow or a ridge to climb. It’s a place that’s still honest with itself — no need to pretend it’s anything other than what it is.Location Bow Fiddle Ranch sits just twenty minutes from Laramie, close enough to have everything you need — groceries, medical care, the University of Wyoming’s games and performances — but far enough that the noise stays where it belongs. The Laramie Regional Airport offers daily flights to Denver, and if you need the reach of a major hub, Denver International is about two and a half hours away. The town of Centennial lies just to the west, a small but welcoming stop on the way to the mountains. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a meal, swap stories with someone you just met, and feel like you’ve known them longer.

This one-of-a kind ranch features luxury improvements, a world-class shooting complex, top-tier wingshooting, big game hunting, working cattle and horse infrastructure, and unmatched seclusion with year-round access — a true Western ranch with turnkey operations and sporting pedigree.Land Encompassing approximately 4,902± deeded acres, plus 640 acres of state lease and 40 acres of BLM lease, The Steiner Ranch stretches across a diverse and secluded landscape on the edge of the Black Hills and the Thunder Basin National Grassland. Just 45 miles northeast of Gillette, Wyoming, the ranch enjoys a rare level of privacy while bordering thousands of acres of National Forest and U.S. Grasslands on three sides.Although the total footprint covers roughly 5,500 acres, the property lives significantly larger due to its timbered ridges, deep canyons, rolling elevation changes and direct access to national forest. These natural features not only provide exceptional wildlife habitat and recreational opportunity — they also create the feeling of vastness and solitude more typical of much larger Western ranches.From the main improvements, private two-tracks lead in all directions — into timbered ridges, pine bluffs, and rolling draws. The terrain ranges from wet bottomlands along Duck Creek to open grass meadows and heavily forested hillsides, offering outstanding topographical variety across the entire property. The trail system across the ranch and into the surrounding National Forest makes it highly accessible without disturbing its remote character.Adding to its recreational and wildlife appeal, the property also features several stocked ponds along Duck Creek and different drainages.Improvements Additional improvements will be shared with qualified buyersThe LodgeThe Lodge is the flagship residence at The Steiner Ranch— a refined 7,100± square foot luxury home designed to offer the highest standard of Western living.

Behind the scenes, laundry facilities, dry storage, and utility areas keep the operation running smoothly, while retail and merchandising space offers potential for on-site sales or branded goods.At the center of it all is the bar — a striking, full-length centerpiece hand-carved from cherry wood in Ireland in the 1880s, salvaged from the historic Montana Hotel in Anaconda, Montana, once considered the finest hotel west of Chicago. This irreplaceable piece of Western history now anchors The Rendezvous, offering a sense of place, story, and sophistication that few properties can match.Glass-panel garage doors open the space to a large entertainment deck, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces and creating a perfect flow for events, receptions, or casual evenings under the stars.Whether operated as part of a guest-focused program or enjoyed for private use, The Rendezvous delivers estate-quality hospitality potential on a working ranch footprint.Guest CabinsPositioned just steps from The Covey and The Rendezvous, the five log-style guest cabins at The Steiner Ranch are purpose-built to offer guests a private, comfortable, and distinctly Western lodging experience.

Their proximity to the ranch’s main event and hospitality buildings allows for seamless hosting, whether for retreats, upland hunting parties, or special gatherings.The SanctuaryThe Sanctuary is The Steiner Ranch’s answer to a Western-style high-country spa — a private wellness retreat designed for relaxation and recovery after a day in the saddle or out in the field. Discreetly tucked near the guest cabins for easy access, it offers a full suite of rejuvenating amenities in a quiet, natural setting.Inside, you’ll find a Nordic-style sauna, a hot tub, a cold plunge pool, and multiple massage rooms — all curated to support rest, reset, and wellness.

Built to withstand the rigors of the Wyoming climate, it provides a warm, productive environment for starting seeds in winter, growing citrus and tender plants, and supplying the kitchen with a steady stream of fresh herbs and produce.Thoughtfully constructed with durability and efficiency in mind, The Orangery bridges the gap between function and sustainability — offering a vital piece of self-sufficiency to the ranch’s hospitality and culinary operations. Whether growing greens for the table or overwintering specialty crops, it plays a quiet but essential role in the Steiner Ranch experience.Duck Creek FarmPositioned just below the main deck of The Rendezvous, Duck Creek Farm is the culinary heart of The Steiner Ranch’s farm-to-fork program — a well-designed garden and growing operation that supplies fresh, seasonal produce directly to the ranch kitchen.The farm includes a variety of heirloom vegetables, from tomatoes, squash, and beans to beets, carrots, and potatoes — organically grown in fenced plots, raised beds, and greenhouse structures. A worm farm transforms organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, improving soil health and closing the loop on sustainable growing practices. Nearby, a small apiary supports pollination while producing ranch-harvested honey.Cleanly laid out and fully integrated into the hospitality program, Duck Creek Farm adds both utility and story — reinforcing The Steiner Ranch’s commitment to quality, stewardship, and culinary excellence rooted in the land.The property also maintains a small-scale farm-to-table livestock and poultry program, with goats, chickens, guinea hens, ducks, turkeys, and garden produce, supported by winter corrals, dedicated barns, and a working dairy/goat barn. While originally developed to support guest dining, the setup easily lends itself to private use or scaled-back production.Shop & Fuel StationThe ranch’s main operations hub includes a large metal building which serves as the primary shop for equipment maintenance, storage, and day-to-day ranch work. Built with space in mind, it accommodates everything from ATVs and trucks to tools, implements, and workstations — making it a functional headquarters for year-round operations.Adjacent to the shop is a well-organized fuel depot, surrounded by Connex containers that provide additional secure storage for parts, tools, and supplies. The fuel setup includes:2,000-gallon gasoline tank2,000-gallon red diesel tank500-gallon diesel tankThis layout ensures the ranch stays self-sufficient in fueling heavy equipment, vehicles, and generators, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.Also on site is a commercial-grade game processing facility, ideal for handling harvests during hunting season. Clean, efficient, and fully functional, it adds real value to the ranch’s recreational and hospitality capabilities.Horse Arena & BunkhouseFor horsemen and working ranch hands, the Steiner Ranch arena complex is a fully equipped setup designed for comfort, care, and performance. The indoor/outdoor horse arena is paired with a well-appointed bunkhouse, creating a one-stop headquarters for equine operations and seasonal crews.The bunkhouse includes:4 bedrooms2 full bathroomsA heated kitchen and laundry areaComfortable living quarters for wranglers, guests, or seasonal helpThe horse facilities include:10 indoor/outdoor stalls, allowing horses to move between shelter and fresh airA dedicated wash-down areaA feed room and tack room with ample space for gear and suppliesExcellent working pens just outside the arena, ideal for sorting, doctoring, or groundworkBird Barn and Flight PensBuilt to support the ranch’s upland bird program, the Bird Barn is a functional structure designed for raising and holding pen-raised pheasants and chukar partridge prior to release. Well-ventilated and clean, it serves as the staging area for Steiner’s guided wingshooting experiences and supports the property’s Orvis-endorsed lodge designation.This facility allows for controlled, high-quality bird management and seasonal flexibility in hunting operations — giving future owners the option to continue running a top-tier upland program or easily shift toward private use.Modular Homes & WorkshopIn addition to the primary residences and guest cabins, The Steiner Ranch includes three modular homes that provide flexible and functional housing for staff, long-term guests, or seasonal workers.The green modular is ideally suited as a staff headquarters, offering six bedrooms and plenty of space for team members living and working on-site.The other two modular homes each offer four bedrooms, making them suitable for families, hunting guides, or additional crew.A workshop is located directly next to the green modular, adding convenience for daily upkeep, light mechanical work, or ranch projects. These homes expand the ranch’s capacity to operate at a high level year-round, with housing that’s comfortable, clean, and close to the action.Chuckwagon & Lookout CampAdding to the character of the ranch is an authentic old chuckwagon and campsite, perched on a high ridge with sweeping views across the Thunder Basin and Black Hills country. It’s the kind of place that naturally draws people in — whether for coffee at sunrise, a campfire cookout, or simply to take in the landscape. Used occasionally for guest events or just family evenings under the stars, this lookout point captures the timeless spirit of the West and offers a setting few places can rival.Recreation WildlifeThe Steiner Ranch is located in prime elk and mule deer country, with a strong history of producing high-quality bulls and mature bucks. The ranch offers a balanced mix of timbered ridges, open meadows, and creek bottoms, creating ideal conditions for both archery and rifle seasons.In addition to elk and mule deer, there is a notable whitetail population, especially along the creek systems and low-lying edges of cover. Merriam turkeys are also common in the timber belts and bottom ground, making for great spring hunts and fall combo opportunities.Just beyond the boundaries of the ranch, the surrounding Thunder Basin National Grassland offers excellent antelope hunting, with strong populations and expansive glassing country immediately adjacent to the property. The area is also notably hunter-friendly for Wyoming residents, falling within an over-the-counter unit for antlered elk and deer, as well as pronghorn. The generous seasons typically include all of September and October for elk, and the first two to three weeks of October for mule deer and antelope, giving resident hunters a wide window for success.Residual pheasants and chukar from the ranch’s upland program create wild-style flushes long after guest hunts conclude. In addition, the ranch naturally holds Sharptail Grouse and Hungarian Partridge and attracts waterfowl throughout the fall on its ponds and creek corridors.Predators are part of the ecosystem here as well — mountain lions, coyotes, and bobcats are regularly seen or tracked across the property. Whether managed or hunted, these species speak to the wild character of the land and the diversity of game that calls The Steiner ranch home.Wing shooting DestinationThe Steiner Ranch is not only a premier recreational property — it’s one of the few Orvis-Endorsed Wingshooting Lodges in the country and is also recognized by Shooting Sportsman Magazine as an Endorsed Lodge. These are not casual affiliations — they are hard-earned designations that signal exceptional land, infrastructure, and hospitality.Recently completed, the ranch now features a custom-designed dog kennel built to accommodate up to 24 dogs comfortably and securely. Designed with working dogs and wingshooting operations in mind, the kennel provides a clean, efficient, and weather-protected space for housing, feeding, and caring for dogs year-round. Whether used for personal retrievers and pointers or to support hosted upland hunts, the kennel adds another layer of utility and professionalism to the ranch’s operational footprint.Shooting & Archery FacilitiesThe Steiner Ranch is home to one of the most complete private shooting and archery setups in the West — built with precision, laid into the land, and designed for real use by serious shooters and casual guests alike. Every detail of the shooting complex has been carefully thought out, creating a facility that rivals commercial ranges in both design and experience — but with the added benefit of being completely private.At the heart of it is the Sporting Clays Course, a professionally designed, top-end setup with 10 stations and 50 Promatic throwers. The course is tucked into natural terrain with ridges, trees, and elevation changes — offering crossers, springers, rabbits, and long shots through timber. It’s a true field-style clays experience that challenges experienced shooters and welcomes first-timers alike. A Five Stand layout with six throwers adds fast-paced versatility and makes it easy to run group shoots or quick sessions.The rifle and pistol range complex includes:A 25-yard pistol bay with framed target stands and steel targetry, including plate racks and dueling treesA Rifle Zero and 3-Gun Range with shots out to 275 yards, permanent covered benches, and terrain ideal for practical rifle, shotgun, and carbine useA Metallic Silhouette range with standard steel target layouts for iron-sight rifles and handgunsFor bowhunters and traditional archers, the ranch also offers a dedicated Archery Flat Range with static shots out to 80 yards, and a 3D Target Walking Course set across hilly terrain.General Operations The Steiner Ranch functions as a turnkey Western ranch operation, currently supporting cattle, horses, light livestock, and upland bird hunting — all woven into a broader hospitality and recreational program. As an Orvis-Endorsed Wingshooting Lodge, the ranch is already outfitted to host guests at a high level, but it also works just as well as a self-sustaining private ranch or investment-grade sporting retreat.On the production side, the ranch supports a rotational cattle grazing program across its expansive deeded and leased acreage. Fencing, water infrastructure, working pens, and natural grazing diversity make it well-suited for both summer and year-round herd management depending on the scale. Multiple pastures, good stock water, and solid access make operations efficient and low-friction.In addition to its physical infrastructure, Steiner Ranch is also operated with the support of a comprehensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. This platform tracks and organizes all operational data — including details on every building, facility, vehicle, piece of equipment, and stock animal on the ranch. It also includes a full list of vendors, maintenance providers, and service schedules, ensuring continuity and operational clarity.For new ownership or incoming management, this means nothing needs to be “figured out” or recreated. From livestock records to facility upkeep, the system provides immediate visibility and control, eliminating the guesswork often associated with large, multi-use ranches. It’s a rare layer of professionalism and foresight that sets Steiner Ranch apart — ensuring that the transition of ownership can be as seamless as it is secure.In short, the operational footprint at The Steiner Ranch is already proven, already in motion, and ready for a new owner to step in without missing a beat.Region & Climate The Steiner Ranch is located in northeastern Campbell County, Wyoming, near the unincorporated community of Weston, approximately 45 miles northeast of Gillette. Set against the backdrop of the Black Hills and Thunder Basin National Grassland, the ranch offers true end-of-the-road privacy with easy, year-round access via Wyoming Highway 59, a well-maintained gravel county road, and a private ranch road leading to the entrance.In addition to its privacy and scenic setting, the ranch is equipped for long-term self-sufficiency, with ample propane storage, a solar power system, livestock, gardening infrastructure, and well-managed food stores—all in place to support extended off-grid living if needed. Whether used as a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, or private sanctuary, Steiner Ranch offers the rare ability to live comfortably and independently in one of Wyoming’s most beautiful landscapes.The property is bordered on three sides by over 40,000 acres of National Grassland, much of it roadless public land managed by the U.S. Forest Service — making The Steiner Ranch feel even larger and more remote. This setting offers unmatched seclusion without sacrificing convenience.The nearby city of Gillette provides full services, including a regional airport with commercial flights, a hospital, restaurants, shopping, and the Cam-Plex event complex, which hosts rodeos, concerts, expos, and the National High School Rodeo Finals. The area is supported by a solid mix of infrastructure and community pride, built over decades of ranching and mineral wealth.Schools include the rural Little Powder Elementary (K–8) in Weston, with full access to Campbell County School District’s services in Gillette, including high school and busing.The ranch sits approximately 500 feet higher in elevation than the surrounding Thunder Basin grasslands, creating a noticeable shift in climate and vegetation. As weather systems move across the plains and rise over the ranch’s ridgelines, they tend to cool and drop more rain and snow across the property. This natural lift effect results in more consistent moisture, supporting a landscape that’s noticeably greener, more timbered, and more productive than the open prairie below. It’s a subtle but important factor that enhances the ranch’s habitat, grazing quality, and overall aesthetic appeal.This is a landscape with deep Western heritage. The area once served as hunting grounds for Native tribes including the Cheyenne, Kiowa, Crow, and Lakota Sioux, and later became part of the historic Texas-to-Montana cattle trail corridor, followed by waves of ranchers, gold seekers, and energy pioneers. That layered legacy still shapes the land today.
