117 Acres

Shoshoni, Wyoming, 82648

This 117 acre property is located directly off and north of US Hwy 26 on the western shoreline of Boysen Reservoir. It’s only about 5 miles west of Shoshoni and 17 miles north of Riverton, WY. Riverton is the county seat for Fremont County and is home to Central Wyoming Regional Airport, a two-year junior college, a full-care hospital, a K-12 school system, and has all your shopping needs with stores like Walmart. Shoshoni is much smaller but enjoys many of the benefits of larger towns, like the fact that it also has a K-12 school. Casper, the second largest city in Wyoming, is only 1.5 hours away.Native LandAbout half the property is more or less native with small gullies, gentle rocky outcroppings, and wetland areas filled with towering cottonwoods and other native trees. The Midvale Irrigation Ditch runs through it providing stock and irrigation water during the summer months while it’s running. There is an older set of corrals and a smaller granary, both located in an area that would make a very nice building site. The views from this location are awesome and the topography appears well-suited for building. It’s been a while since any livestock have used the property, but it would make a great small acreage cattle and/or sheep operation, or even an equestrian operation would do well there.Farmland (63.1± ac)The property has 3 separate hay-producing fields that are irrigated using gated pipes and water from the Midvale Irrigation District. The west field is mostly grass with some alfalfa; the east field has a lot of alfalfa, but also grass; the north field is a newer stand of mostly alfalfa. The current harvest amounts are not known but they should be typical of the area respective of the type of forage.)The classification, acres, and cost are as follows:36.5 acres class 3 @ $1.25/ac26.6 class 4 acres @ $.50/acTotal annual irrigation cost for 2023: $1,773Recreational LandThe fact that this property is located practically in the center of the state means access to all the state’s recreational treasures is no more than a half-day drive. Most notable of these would be Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, Flaming Gorge, Cheyenne (state capital), and Devil’s Tower. But in particular, Boysen Reservoir and State Park are one of the state’s best known boating and fishing destinations and this property adjoins it. The Owl Creek Mountains are just a short drive to the north for day trips, hikes, and other outdoor adventures. The famed Wind River Canyon that cuts through the Owl Mountains is a sight to behold but is also considered one of the best fly-fishing rivers in all of Wyoming, which is saying something. The wild and unruly Wind River Mountains, which frame the views of the skyline to the west (from the property), are a short drive away, as well. If you want to enjoy a fun night out, with big city entertainment and fun, The Wind River Casino and Hotel is only 20 miles south of the Property. But, you don’t need to leave the property to enjoy watching and/or hunting for upland and waterfowl, deer, and small game that all enjoy the cover from the trees and topography, and the abundant water and feed resources. Plus, across the fence to the north is all Boysen State Park, for your recreation and viewing enjoyment.Broker’s CommentsThe comments above pretty well describe the opportunities that come with this property, but from a general market perspective, this is a unique offering because of its location. The simple fact is that it is next to and overlooking Boysen Reservoir, and it enjoys the viewshed protection of the State Park to the north. I think you will have a hard time finding any other property like this one. Give us a call, if you’d like more information on it or just to chat more about it.

2,442 Acres

Hulett, Wyoming, 82720

The New Haven Ranch is in the northeast corner of Wyoming on the northern boundary of the scenic and adventure-laden Black Hills. Its about 18 miles northwest of the small town of Hulett, and the world-famous Devils Tower our nations first National Monument, next to which are also the impressive Missouri Buttes (these can be seen from the ranch). Comfortably and privately situated in this beautiful region of Wyoming, this ranch has all the benefits of the areas attributes, especially the scenery. It consists of about 2,442 total acres of which about 2,182 are deeded and 260 acres of BLM land. All of it is contiguous and situated on the east side of Mule Creek Road, providing good access to its headquarters and what used to be the town of New Haven, WY. All that remains today is a community hall and the New Haven Ranch buildings, which were once part of the old town. With some care and restoration from the current owners, these buildings are now used as guest cabins for the ranch. New Haven is just a shadow of its earlier days; importantly however, the ranch and the character and ambiance of the area is still intact. Like much of the area, the ecological diversity of the ranch includes topography consisting of two primary drainages, TL Creek and Music Creek. In between these drainages are rolling hills, rough and scenic draws, flat-top open meadows, hay fields, and food plots. TL Creek is the largest of the two drainages. Both are filled with seasonal flowing water, spring-fed reservoirs, good grass, ponderosa pine, juniper, burr oak trees, and many other native trees, like wild plum, and chokecherry. The habitat is perfect for all kinds of wildlife, especially Merriam turkey, mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, waterfowl, and other upland bird species. The ranch is currently used for livestock grazing, hay production, commercial hunting, recreation, and it also serves as a guest ranch.LIVESTOCK GRAZING The owners have taken great pride in their management of the land over the last 30 years by enacting regenerative, grazing practices that have significantly improved the overall health and well-being of the land. The densely sodded land, comprised with diverse grasses, forbs, and other native plants is evident. Any new owner can be assured that the ranch is in excellent ecological health, and one can get right to grazing. Even the fences and water systems are all in great condition.On a traditional carrying capacity basis the ranch should run about 150 cows/pairs per year with some hay supplementation. Another way to look at it is by animal days per acre (ADA), in which case it is rated around 24 ADAs for yearlings or 16 ADAs for pairs, and not grazing the hay meadows but haying them. Currently, the ranch is leased to a neighbor who runs, (depending on the year), between 450 and 500 yearlings from May through August or September depending on the grass and markets. Intermingled amongst the deeded land is a small amount of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grazing lease that allows for 36 animal unit months of supplemental grazing. The owner currently runs about 20 horses on the ranch for guest operations.WATER RESOURCESNew Haven Ranch has extensive water development for livestock, wildlife, and recreational uses. Natural surface water resources include many natural springs and several reservoirs. One in Section 24; four in Section 7, one in Section 18; New Haven Lake Reservoir in Section 7 is permitted for 80.01 acre-feet per year of water and is listed for several surface uses, in Section 17, four reservoirs, and a well in Section 19. The New Haven Lake is about 12 surface acres and about 117 total acre-feet in terms of its size. It has been stocked with fish in the past and can support various kinds of fish year-round. Its fun to use recreationally for small paddle boats, swimming, fishing, hunting, and just for aesthetic purposes.For developed water, the ranch has three wells. Two of the wells (one new, another old and unpermitted) at the headquarters are interconnected for redundancy (if needed) and provide water for the livestock waterers, all the buildings at the headquarters (including the Sellers separately owned residence); plus, they supply water to a another buried pipeline with three tanks in different pastures on the west side of the ranch. The third one, called the Music Well, is at the head of Music Creek. It was new in 2020 and supplies over 7 miles of buried pipeline and 12 concrete stock tanks, which are all strategically distributed around the ranch allowing for a rotational grazing program for livestock and that benefits wildlife. It is supplemented by a large storage tank for plenty of reserve water storage for high-demand use.HUNTING & RECREATIONNew Haven Ranch is located on the very edge of the Black Hills, where the variety of timbered terrain, spring-filled draws, lush meadows to sagebrush prairie provide the ideal habitat and feed for healthy and diverse wild game populations. Mule deer, whitetail deer, elk, antelope, turkey, sharptailed grouse, sage hens, geese, ducks, eagles, bobcats, coyotes, fox, and even beaver can be found on the ranch and the neighboring and very limited access public land. This allows the hunter or just the avid wildlife lover to experience a variety of wildlife viewing, hunting, and even trout fishing (when stocked) from the ranchs own New Haven Lake reservoir. You can pretty much expect that the hunting and viewing opportunities for wildlife can and do begin as you step out the door or even while looking out your window!RESIDENTIALThe LodgeOffering comfortable accommodations with a rich local history and all the features of homeYear Built: 1953 remodeled in 2010 and 20151,408 SF Main Level with wood deck1,248 SF Walkout Basement entertainment area with pool tableStained Log Siding exteriorMetal Roof (replaced in 2022)5 Bedrooms with a total of 10 beds; 3 queens, 6 twins, 1 full, 3 bedrooms on main level, 2 bedrooms in basement5 Bathrooms 3 on the main level, 2 in the basementFull Kitchen on main floor, open to living room and dining roomAdditional Features:phone and wifistorage roomsmeat processing room2 water heaters1000 gallon propane tankwater storage tankwood stovecentral and baseboard heatThe Guest HouseThe 952 SF bunkhouse is the original home on the ranch.

The ranch is currently running both pairs and stockers. It operates with limited labor requirements and is perfect for investors who want a productive, low-overhead working ranch. The ranch has a thriving mixture of hardy native grasses and a mosaic of sagebrush, juniper, ponderosa pine, and other deciduous trees native to the area. It lies within the Deer Creek and Badger Hills watershed areas, each with seasonal flowing water, plus numerous springs and reservoirs.The large contiguous land mass is comprised of great grazing land, excellent grass, natural and developed water, and fencing infrastructure, which provides numerous and diverse enterprise opportunities for return on investment (ROI). A ranch like this can be operated without a lot of overhead and labor.Water Resources and PasturesThe ranch has over 48 recorded water rights, some of which are surface rights on Deer Creek. The ranch's extensive high-producing wells with buried 3 HDPE primary water pipeline and 2 HDPE secondary lines provide a more than dependable and abundant source of water to nearly every pasture on the ranch on an on-demand basis, and most can be used on a year-round basis. This ranch is as well watered as any you will find. Six of the wells produce about 50 gpm, with more being added. Nearly all the water tanks use 12-diameter tire tanks set up to function through the winter. With all the water and abundance of grass, the ranch can support the grazing demands of its cattle operations in the hottest weather conditions.The ranch utilizes a regenerative grazing program, which includes 37 permanently fenced pastures with wildlife-friendly high-tensile wire. Temporary electric fencing further divides the larger pastures. The well-managed grazing system promotes management-intensive grazing (MIG) and allows an owner/manager to move livestock to promote regenerative agriculture practices. Such practices build soil structure through better root systems and soil cover, which helps improve water and carbon cycles, creating a better environment for all systems and enterprises above the soil.For the past 5 years, livestock have been used to build soil and store soil carbon (soil carbon sequestration). When a systems approach to land and ranch management is used, as it is on Holmes Ranch, all things work together for good. As the soil health improves, the grazing enterprises and wildlife resources also improve. Since the most important elements for livestock grazing are already in place, one can get right to it by hauling in truckloads of yearling stockers, pairs, or even sheep.Carbon SequestrationExtensive improvements in water and fencing have created 37 paddocks for intensive mob grazing practices, demonstrating the health of the ranch's soils. The abundance of grass reflects the significant amount of stored soil carbon, which has potential marketable value.ImprovementsOwners ResidenceLocated on the divide overlooking the Deer Creek and Tongue River Valleys, the views of the surrounding area and the Bighorn Mountains are spectacular. This ranch-style home was built in 2016 and has 3 bedrooms and two baths. The contemporary open living spaces, professional appliances, kitchen, master bedroom, and bath are all very nice. It has a detached garage/shop and one other outbuilding.Newer Foreman/Manager's HomeNew in 2022, a very well cared for inside and out, 3-bedroom 2-bath home located at the headquarters.Original Ranch HouseLocated at the headquarters, it was originally built in the mid-1800s and then remodeled and additions were made in 1942, and more recently remodeled and renovated. The traditional two-story farmhouse design and well-kept surrounding fenced-in yard and gardens reflect the look and feel of a Montana ranch. Details include a 5-bedroom, 3-bath, 2,217 sf living area 1.5 1.5-story Farm House.Out-BuildingsIndoor ArenaThe Holmes Ranch also boasts its incredible 300 x 125, all-steel, clear-span construction indoor arena. It is fully insulated and heated for the busiest competitive events, which can be held year-round. Inside it, you'll be surprised to find a commercial kitchen, and numerous guest rooms and bathrooms used for retreats, guests, and other events. Though currently used for only private events, the arena is equipped with a Priefert air-powered roping chute, roping boxes, and a return alley that, in the past, has been used commercially for ropings, barrel racing, and other equestrian events.Corrals and Working PensOutside the arena is a great set of steel working corrals that includes pens, sorting alleys, holding pens, platform scale, load-out chutes for both semi-trucks and pickup trailers and a Silencer hydraulic chute, all of which are large enough to meet the needs of the ranchs cattle operation and thoughtfully designed to make processing and cattle handling less stressful and more efficient for livestock and people. Working and shipping 2000 head of yearlings in a day is possible. Maintenance is also easier, as many of the panels can be removed to allow access for cleaning.Hunting and Outdoor RecreationHunting opportunities include elk, mule deer, black bear, dove, and sharp-tailed grouse. The Holmes Ranch is a fantastic wildlife and Montana recreation ranch. The carefully managed grazing supports better deer, elk, and pronghorn populations, and improves cover and vegetation for upland bird hunting and other recreation amenities. The pure scenic qualities and location of the ranch provide more non-consumptive enterprises. For instance, with little to no light pollution, the stargazing is unbelievable, often filled with spectacular sunrises and sunsets, uninterrupted views of the Milky Way Galaxy, and occasionally northern lights. The views of the surrounding landscapes and the Bighorn Mountains are also captivating. Plus, watching wildlife is always entertaining. Watch elk bathe in reservoirs, listen to them bugling, or watch hawks and eagles soar and hunt. Located in Elk and Deer Hunt area 704, which is well known for having record-setting bull elk and trophy mule deer. The ranch's large size, good grass and water, abundance of deeded land, great cover, and lack of public access to the leased ground make it an ideal habitat and refuge for wildlife.LocationJust an easy 30-minute drive to downtown Sheridan, WY, the Holmes Ranch has easy access to a great community with all the necessary goods and services; as well as top schools, good restaurants, shopping, recreation, and medical facilities that include a surgical center, cancer treatment facility, and regional hospital; plus, it has a jet-accessible, commercial airport.
