The ranch has never been encumbered by a conservation easement,
so this opportunity exists for the new owner.
The ranch is only 12 miles from Laramie, 35 miles from Cheyenne, and 2 hours from
the Denver airport. There is no other quality recreational ranch for sale in Wyoming
that is this well located. The location coupled with the fair price being asked for
the ranch insures its purchase as a quality investment.
Not only will the new stewards of this ranch receive a tremendous wildlife resource,
but there are numerous cultural resources including teepee rings, arrowheads,
and habitation sites scattered throughout the ranch.
Although fishing on the ranch has never been properly developed, there are 6 ponds,
a scenic water falls on one of the 4 small creeks, 5 windmills, and over a dozen springs
that provide the ingredients for developing a superb fishing experience.
The entrance to the north end of the ranch is from the I-80 service road at
Forest Service Road 730. At 8,600 feet above sea level, I-80 reaches
the highest point along its entire route as it passes the ranch.
Over six miles to the south, the ranch fronts on Albany County Road 222 at an elevation
of about 7,800 feet above sea level. There are loading chutes and a cow camp at this entrance.
Although the ranch is a wooded mountain ranch, there is ample grass for cows and
wildlife, but in todays world, the ranch is mostly coveted for its trees and wildlife.
The ranch is one well blocked contiguous tract roughly 5 miles wide and 6 miles long,
and 23 miles around. The ranch has always been protected by complete perimeter
fencing and locked gates.
A very comfortable log cabin with modern bath and kitchen as well as central gas heat
and huge wood fireplace welcomes the ranch owner and guest with year around access
just off the pavement at the north entrance.
There are 1 3/4 sections of leased grazing from the BLM and 1 section of Wyoming state
lease inside the ranch that add another 1,760 acres of enjoyment for the owner.
Wyoming is considered to be one of the most favorable states for wealthy people to
conduct business and own property since there is no state income tax or state estate tax.
The 2006 property taxes were $2,769.
At $15,000,000 or $1,260 per deeded acre, the Rocking Chair Springs Ranch is absolutely
the best opportunity available in Wyoming to own this type of property in such an
accessible location, and these opportunites will only become more rare,
as large ranches near population are subdivided. |
