The Gates at Stonegate

The Gates at Stonegate is a 35± acre showpiece set between the Snowy Range and the Sierra Madre Mountains, just minutes from the towns of Encampment and Saratoga, Wyoming. It is also just down the road from three world-renowned Wyoming ranches: Brush Creek Ranch, A Bar A Ranch, and Silver Spur Ranch. Remodeled top to bottom with the most exquisite finishes found anywhere in the region, the 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence with powder room also includes a separate caretaker apartment with its own private entrance. It is sold turnkey and fully furnished — nothing to do but move in.

Highlights include a comprehensive, whole-home Control4 smart home system that seamlessly controls lighting, climate, audio/visual, and security throughout the property, whole-house Bluetooth audio, a chef’s kitchen with a full suite of Wolf, Sub-Zero, Cove, and True appliances plus a built-in Star Max flat-top griddle, a Yamaha grand player piano, sumptuous custom fur bedspreads, custom furniture by Bison Creek Interiors, a custom pool table and matching custom poker table built by the craftsmen at Aspen Rustic, a sauna in the primary bath, a secluded home gym, a four-season covered porch off the dining room, custom antler tables and lamps and oak crown molding throughout the home, and fine art nature photography by renowned wildlife photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen lining the gallery hallway. The property borders more than 17,000 acres of accessible BLM land, with the Encampment River just ten minutes away, a river that was immortalized in Ray Bergman’s 1937 classic, Trout. A lush 24± acre irrigated hay meadow with dedicated water rights anchors the property’s wildlife habitat and viewshed. The Gates at Stonegate has been enjoyed exclusively by family and close friends of its current owners, now presented, fully furnished and exquisitely finished, as a true turnkey masterpiece in one of the most popular recreational destinations in the State, none other than Saratoga, Wyoming.

Hunting

Excellent opportunities supported by resident deer, pronghorn antelope, and other wildlife drawn to the irrigated hay meadow. Adjacent to 17,000+ acres of BLM land significantly expands the recreational range and, if that isn’t enough, the neighboring Snowy Range and Sierra Madre ranges offer hundreds of thousands of additional acres of access for hunting.

Fishing

The Encampment River, one of the finest native Blue Ribbon fisheries in the western U.S., is within ten minutes of the property, and the famed North Platte is just another stone’s throw further down the road where excellent fishing is enjoyed for miles.

Recreation

Golf, hiking, four-wheeling, and cross-country skiing all within minutes of the ranch.

Water Rights

24± acres of surface irrigation rights for the hay meadow right out the window.

Taxes

$8,754 annually

Aesthetic Value

Panoramic mountain and hay-meadow views frame nearly every room through expansive windows, complemented by the home’s exquisite, fully furnished interior, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, oak crown molding, custom antler tables and lamps, a dramatic river-rock fireplace, and rich Western-luxury finishes throughout.
