Twin Buttes Lakefront – 1,600 Feet Of Shoreline

A rare opportunity to own lakefront property in Wild Horse Ranch, a wild horse sanctuary in southern Wyoming. Located 20 minutes from Laramie on the southwest bank of Twin Buttes Lake, this parcel offers spectacular views of the lake and Sheep Mountain to the west. With multiple elevated home sites, the parcel wraps around the lake with nearly 1,600 feet of shoreline and is accessible directly from the private Lone Mountain Road. Land The site rises approximately thirty feet from the lake for a prime home site or settling in for a day of fishing.  The gentle sloping land has native grasses and shrubs.  Wildlife abounds in Wild Horse Ranch with over three hundred horses roaming the vast landscape creating a unique visual of how the untamed west looked over a hundred years ago.  Antelope, deer, and rabbits share the open plains through the ever changing seasons.

Recreation Twin Buttes Lake and nearby Lake Hattie are favorites for anglers looking to catch  Browns, Cutthroats, Rainbow Trout, Kokanee salmon, and Yellow Perch from the shore or a trolling boat.   Twin Buttes Lake is 250 acres, presumably approximately 46′ deep and has a public boat ramp located directly east of the property.   Wild Horse Ranch offers a private access recreational area on 2,500 acre Lake Hattie with a brand-new community boat ramp a short distance from the property.  Both lakes are ideal habitat to grow Browns 12-25 inches.   Best seasonal fishing is early spring through mid-July and late fall.

Medicine Bow National Forest, located 12 miles from Wild Horse Ranch, has an abundance of outdoor recreation including hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, camping, ATV and snowmobiling.  The Snowy Range Ski Area is family friendly and a great place to teach kids downhill and cross-county skiing.
