Introduction: Located in southwestern Wyoming, along Highway 191, just four miles north of Farson sits the Berg’s Haystack Butte Farm. This productive farm is comprised of 404 deeded acres with 3 center pivots irrigating 220.9 acres +/-. Improvements on the property include an updated 1,308 sq. ft home and numerous functional outbuildings. Featuring outstanding views of the Wind River Mountain Range to the northeast, the farm sits just above the Big Sandy River and is a haven for a variety of wildlife including mule deer and antelope.
Improvements: Improvements on the Berg’s Haystack Butte Farm include a 1950’s 3 bed 1½ bath home and numerous outbuildings. The home has had a number of updates and enjoys a nice family room and dining area. Outbuildings on the farm include a 1,560 sq ft shop/equipment building with concrete floors, an additional shop/barn (4,680 sq ft) with an alley leading out to the pasture in front of the home, a 4,100 sq ft hay shed, 2 newer Scafco grain bins (12,250 bu/each) and a loafing shed.
Land: The Berg’s Haystack Butte Farm is irrigated by three older Valley pivots with water provided via the Eden Valley Irrigation District. Typically, two of the pivots (138 acres) are planted in alfalfa hay with the third pivot planted in barley. In addition to the pivot irrigated ground, there is an additional 56 acres +/- of pasture that can be flood irrigated when the pivots are not in use. Horses have been kept on the property and watered via an artisan well that services the pastures in front of the home. On the west side of the farm there is 14.39 acres along HWY 191 that is zoned for light industrial use, that could offer potential for development for an interested buyer/tenant.
Recreation: Historically the Berg’s Haystack Butte Farm has qualified for landowner deer and antelope tags. Just north of the farm is the Big Sandy Reservoir, offering boating and fishing opportunities for brown trout, cutthroat trout, catfish and ling. The surrounding area is primarily BLM ground offering thousands of acres for ATVing, hunting and hiking. Additional recreational opportunities can be found in Bridger-Teton & Shoshone National Forests in the Wind River and Wyoming mountain ranges northwest and northeast of the property.
Location: The Berg’s Haystack Butte Farm is easily accessed with frontage along HWY 191 and County Road 28 (Haystack Buttes Rd). It sits just 4 miles north of the small community of Farson and 40 miles north of Rock Springs (population 23,000). The scenic mountain towns of Jackson (2 hours) and Pinedale (50 miles) are north of the farm and offer great shopping, dining and access to some of the most scenic spots in Wyoming.
