Description
Experience the stunning scenery and natural wonder of this all-around Cowboy State hunting and cattle ranch spanning 2,173 +/- acres in the heart of the American West. Take advantage of fantastic big-game hunting and year-round recreational opportunities on a property that is located just 30 miles from the historic town of Cody and the Cody Airport and 80 miles from Yellowstone National Park. Land Situated three miles outside the town of Meeteetse, this 2,173 +/- acre ranch boasting amazing views in all directions comprises 1,453+/- deeded acres, 640+/- acres of State of Wyoming lease and 80+/- acres of BLM lease to meet the needs of you and your family, your ranching and/or hunting operation, and the region’s wildlife. Hunting is outstanding in this outdoor paradise as the ranch’s healthy ecosystem draws quality elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, bear, turkey and upland game birds, yet you are only a half hour south of Cody, offering additional shopping, restaurants and the Cody and Yellowstone Regional Airports. The north end of the ranch features a large bench where the home and three outbuildings are located, providing incredible, unrestricted views of the mountains and the Greybull River Valley below it by day and clear, starry skies by night. Going to the south, the natural landscape includes high ridges and steep canyons offering ample bedding cover ideally suited for mule deer and elk, with open grassland providing forbs, shrubs and water tanks drawing antelope. Enjoy views of the Lower and Upper Sunshine Reservoirs where some fantastic trout fishing is available. In addition, the Wood River, just over a mile west of the ranch, and the Greybull River, which runs a half mile from the ranch through the town of Meeteetse, offer some of the best fishing for pure Yellowstone cutthroat trout anywhere. This private piece of cowboy country features two small ponds, an eight-tank pipeline system and multiple springs that offer supplemental water for livestock and wildlife. Adding more value, the deeded landowner also is eligible to draw Wyoming big-game landowner tags. Improvements The ranch features a 2,90 sq. ft. custom five-bedroom, three-bath log home with a walk-out basement, a wrap-around deck on the main floor and decks on two sides of the home on the top floor delivering additional unbelievable views. The home is in the process of a major remodel so most of the interior has been stripped, leaving the custom log shell that has just been re-chinked and sealed. The buyer can choose all inside finishes, including cabinets, countertops and flooring. Rarely do you get the opportunity to customize an existing home to meet your needs. The property features three steel outbuildings, including a 60’ ft. X 104’ Morton shop, a 40’ x 60’ WedgCor storage facility and a 40’X 80’ insulated Morton livestock barn with stalls and well build pipe corrals that also would be perfect for horse enthusiasts. Recreation If you can dream it, you can do it here. Enjoy the backdrop of the rugged, unspoiled Absaroka Mountains, a sub-range of the Rocky Mountains, as you tap into numerous recreational opportunities on your own private ranch and throughout the region where everything is a picture. Hit the backcountry in your ATV, go horseback riding, hiking, rafting, rock climbing, camping, mountain biking, hunting or fishing, or simply relax and enjoy a scenic drive while taking in the memorable views. Of course, a visit to Yellowstone National Park is well worth the trip, or venture a bit further to the Shoshone National Forest—America’s first national forest–home to 2.4 million acres of public land, historic areas and pristine alpine lakes that are an integral part of the 10-million-acre Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Region & Climate As part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, this region of Wyoming offers breathtaking views topped off with a sense of community unique to the Cowboy State. Meeteetse has a semi-arid climate with cold winters and hot summers, averaging some type of precipitation 72 days per year. While the United States averages 205 sunny days per year, Meeteetse averages 213. History Meeteetse is the Shoshone word for “meeting place”—a fitting name for an area that remains a popular place to meet up with family and friends for year-round outdoor adventures. This town of a few hundred residents became a community in 1881, with popular modern-day attractions including the Kirwin Ghost Town, the historic western Cowboy Bar where infamous outlaw Butch Cassidy was once arrested, and the Meeteetse Chocolatier, owned by a former rodeo competitor turned chocolatier who now serves up fine, artisan chocolate to travelers from all over the country. To experience more Old West adventure and cowboy culture, visit the famous nearby frontier town of Cody, named for founder Col. William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody. It houses the Buffalo Bill Center of the West—a complex of five museums and a research library—and borders the East entrance to Yellowstone National Park, the world’s first-ever national park. Shooting sports enthusiasts will be pleased to know that in July 2024, Cody was chosen as the site for a $10 million-dollar, 2,000-acre Wyoming state shooting complex that is scheduled to open in the spring of 2026. Fans of old Westerns will embrace the fact Cody is also the burial place of mountain man John “Liver-Eating” Johnson on whom the movie “Jeremiah Johnson” was based.
