Description
657 +/- Deeded Acres
Surrounded by Hundreds of Thousands of Acres of Public Lands
Currently Qualifies for Wyoming Area 45 Landowner Elk Tags
High-Producing Water Well
Located on the western slope of Wyoming’s famed Bighorn Mountains and just a few miles from both Tensleep and Hyattville, Historical Jess Smith Homestead offers excellent recreational opportunities in this highly sought-after region of Wyoming. Encompassing 652 +/- deeded acres and surrounded by hundreds of thousands of acres of BLM, State, and National Forest lands, this is the ideal base property for those who yearn to explore and adventure the west.
A true virgin wildlife sanctuary, Historical Jess Smith Homestead offers immense recreational potential for elk, mule deer, and antelope. Historical Jess Smith Homestead currently qualifies for coveted Wyoming Area 45 Landowner Elk Tags and can offer exceptional opportunities to harvest trophy caliber bulls, especially during the late season as elk migrate down from the high country.
Mule Deer find sanctuary in the unique rock outcroppings and the deep, dark timbered canyon bottoms. The healthy stands of sagebrush and cedar trees lining the canyon walls create an ideal habitat, allowing heavy-horned mule deer to vanish into their surroundings like the elusive ghosts they are often described to be. Mature stands of cottonwood trees are found in the canyon bottoms offering shade to deer during the heat of the mid-day.
The vast open grassy mesas above the canyons provide a thriving environment for antelope, enhancing the diverse hunting opportunities on the ranch.
A high-producing water well on the property provides water to the stock tanks on the ranch via an above ground poly pipeline. The well is powered by solar panels which are property of the current owner and convey with the sale.
