Creek Bend Ranch

Tucked into the folds of the exquisite Laramie Mountains of Converse County, Wyoming, Creek Bend Ranch is the kind of property that makes you slow the truck and take it all in. Spanning approximately 480± acres along a paved stretch of State Highway 93, this complete recreation ranch pairs productive ground with something increasingly rare: the chance to hunt and fish on your own land.

LaPrele Creek, a true Platte River tributary and fishery, winds 1.3± miles through the property, joined by two more perennial creeks and nine ponds and reservoirs. That water provides irrigation, fills periodically stocked reservoirs holding rainbow and brown trout up to six pounds, and draws tremendous whitetail and mule deer, along with elk, antelope, and upland birds. Elk Hunt Unit 7, notoriously hard to draw, affords the ranch two landowner tags.

The ranch is as productive as it is beautiful; irrigated, sub-irrigated, and dryland hay meadows anchor the operation. The ranch comfortably carries about 170 AUMs of summer pasture and roughly 70 animal units through fall and winter.

At the center sits a beautifully restored 1868 homestead, a warm 3,300± square foot log home with a vaulted 2021 great room addition, wide-planked fir floors, and full solar power with grid and generator backup. A nicely finished second home, a working barn complex, and a leveled site ready for a future hay barn complete the improvements.

A flexible conservation easement covers about 240± acres, leaving more than half the ranch, including all lands around the existing improvements, free for new construction while offering potential tax benefits to a new owner.

Just 25± minutes from Douglas, an hour from Casper, and 3± hours from Denver, Creek Bend Ranch delivers privacy, productivity, and easy access in one self-contained Wyoming property.

Creek Bend Ranch can be purchased separately or in conjunction with the varied terrain and topography of LaPrele Ranch.
