Lander’s Secret Gem ~ A Proximity Paradise With Mountain Views

This incomparable property features nearly fifteen flat and fertile, irrigated acres with breathtaking 360 degree plateau views of the entire Wind River mountain range and the beautiful Lander Valley. Located approximately one mile from downtown (less than 2000 feet as the crow flies from the city limit), this rare offering features a custom home of the highest quality architecture and design and a nearly 16,000 sq. ft. indoor riding arena. Land This parcel is fully irrigated with 9 CFS, early season, adjudicated water rights, making it a lush and green pasture for horses, other animals, or simply aesthetic beauty not often found in Wyoming’s mountain high desert. The fields may be hayed or grazed by your horses during the peaceful and temperate spring, summer and early fall months. The covenants do not preclude further subdivision, making this substantial and highly coveted parcel even more valuable and versatile. Improvements The stunning, custom built, 1,844 square feet, main level home is all about the unobstructed view and features large windows throughout. There are two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, gorgeous polished concrete floors throughout with in-floor hydronic radiant heat that feels like a warm beach in the winter (operated by an on-demand hot water heater from three separate zones), exposed ducted air conditioning and wood beams, vaulted ceilings, custom decorative trim and millwork, ample built-ins, eat-in kitchen island, and the most discerning level of interior design and finishes. Complete suite of Wolf and Sub-Zero kitchen appliances, including two wall ovens, a five burner gas cooktop range that sits flush with the countertops, and 48” Classic Series Sub-Zero refrigeration, soft and creamy subtle white cabinetry, open shelving accents, timeless, transitional lighting and fixtures, matching natural stone countertops throughout the entire home, and with an evident simple, restrained luxury exercised throughout, this home embodies those featured in architectural and design publications. The open floor plan is built for entertaining and every room takes full advantage of the spectacular views framed by every window. A large, walk-in pantry, separate utility/mechanical room, built-in desk in a soaring grand gallery hallway, light-filled primary suite with separate soaking tub, a rimless door to allow easy access to the in-floor heated shower, a walk-in closet, and a generously sized laundry and mudroom are just some of the additional features offered by this superbly designed and constructed home.  In-ceiling speakers serve both the kitchen/living/dining areas, as well as the wraparound, covered deck. A large, oversized, three car garage is built for extra large, one-ton dually trucks in every bay, and offers 10 foot wide doors instead of the standard 9 foot, an in-floor drain, hydronic in-floor radiant heating, and is pre-wired for electric vehicle charging. The 15,680 square-foot indoor riding arena and barn is tucked back out of the way and features a brand new, one bedroom, one bath, barn manager’s apartment with exceptional natural light, desk space, and open kitchen/living room.  The structure also encompasses a 160’ x 72’ arena with a rubber-sand footing mixture, ample hay storage, grooming bays, a tack room with bathroom, utility sink, and washer/dryer hookups, excellent equipment storage, and potential stall spaces. The large, sliding doors on either end may be opened for panoramic picture views showcasing the stunning landscape and surroundings and indoor/outdoor enjoyment while riding inside. If you don’t favor equine sports, the arena can be used for myriad other purposes (boat and RV storage? A workshop?) and has already been used for practice by the “Speed Goats” – Lander’s rugby team. Two spacious metal loafing sheds with heated automatic Nelson waterers and separately fenced paddocks make this property turnkey for all of your equestrian needs. The property is fully fenced on all sides and may be sectionalized for rotational grazing and separate pasture spaces.
