Washakie Wilderness Ranch DUBOIS, WYOMING Hunting | Ranching | Fly Fishing | Conservation Washakie Wilderness Ranch DUBOIS, WYOMING Introduction: A stunning 160-acre parcel located just outside of Dubois, Wyoming, the Washakie Wilderness Ranch is tucked away in its own private valley. This acreage offers alpine seclusion and fantastic mountain views of mountain peaks, forested slopes, and dramatic open meadows. The ranch is bordered on three sides by the Shoshone National Forest, providing ideal habitat for elk, deer, moose and the occasional bighorn sheep. The southern boundary of the 700,000-acre Washakie Wilderness Area is just a few miles from the ranch. An 1,845 sqft cabin has been strategically placed to take advantage of the sweeping views. Located in the heart of western history, culture, and wilderness, this is a spectacular alpine ranch with direct access to vast areas of public land. From Washakie Wilderness Ranch, one can count on plenty of wildlife and adventures, especially when combined with proximity to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, where the backcountry system offers millions of acres and limitless recreational opportunities. Andrew Coulter, Associate Broker Cell: 307.349.7510 John Turner, Associate Broker Cell: 307.699.3415 Toll Free: 866.734.6100 www.LiveWaterProperties.com Location: Located in Fremont County, Wyoming, Washakie Wilderness Ranch is situated at the end of a seven-mile road off U.S. Highway 26 at the base of Ramshorn Peak in the Wind River Mountains. Its location adjacent to the Shoshone National Forest gives this property a backyard of 2.4 million acres of contiguous national forest land available for recreation. Washakie Wilderness Ranch affords wonderful seclusion and privacy, yet is just 20 miles from the town of Dubois in the Wind River Valley. www.LiveWaterProperties.com For those with private aircraft, Dubois has a municipal airport with a 6,100-foot airstrip. For others, Jackson Hole Airport (JAC) is 90 minutes west of Dubois and is serviced by Delta, United, Skywest, and American. Depending on the time of year, there are flights from up to 14 major U.S. cities. In addition, Riverton Regional Airport (RIW) is one hour to the east with service on Great Lakes Aviation/United Express to Denver. The Jackson Hole Valley and the Town of Jackson provide tremendous opportunities for dining, shopping, entertainment, and many types of outdoor recreation, including fishing, mountaineering, and world-class skiing. Millions of travelers and adventurers visit Jackson Hole each year to explore the area’s many natural wonders, highlighted by Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park—the latter being just 50 miles from Washakie Wilderness Ranch. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Area: Dubois is an authentic Old West mountain town, with historic buildings, wooden sidewalks, and a real cowboy culture. Though Dubois has only 1,000 permanent residents, it offers many amenities found in larger communities, including a supermarket and drugstore, museums, several restaurants, numerous shops, hunting and fishing guide services, a public swimming pool, a library, and a nine‐hole golf course. In the summer, there are a variety of public events, including a rodeo and chuckwagon dinner every Friday evening. The Wind River runs right through town, and there are spectacular mountain views in every direction. Due to its archetypal Western beauty, the area has been chosen through the years as a location for a number of commercials and Hollywood films. American Cowboy Magazine named Dubois one of the “Best Rural Towns of 2012.” The article stated, “These ranch communities embody the big country we love. Remote and surrounded by beautiful rangeland and wilderness, small towns form our nation’s heart. Whether you already live in a place like this—or want to—we—honor and celebrate American community values. These are the doorways to the Cowboy Way”. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Acreage: Comprising 160 acres, Washakie Wilderness Ranch includes lush mountain meadows and beautiful spruce- aspen forestlands at elevations ranging from 8,200 to 8,500 feet. At the center is a half-acre trout pond filled by a small spring-fed creek that runs through the property. It is in its own private valley where the mighty Wind River Mountains and Absaroka Mountains meet, and there are tremendous alpine views in all directions. The ranch is located at the end of a private road that is shared by a handful of landowners. Should new owners wish to construct an additional dwelling or other facilities, there are a number of ideal building sites. The square-shaped property is bordered on three sides by the Shoshone National Forest, providing both privacy and access to a seemingly endless expanse of public land for outdoor recreation. It would truly take a lifetime to explore the vast public lands that can be accessed directly from Washakie Wilderness Ranch. Improvements: Nestled in the timber overlooking the Dunoir River Valley is a 1,845 sqft cabin with three bedrooms plus one and a half baths. Providing all the comforts of home with a full kitchen and huge rock fireplace in the main room, this mountain cabin is a perfect year-round getaway with grid power, propane delivery service, and a private well. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Nearby Live Water: Bisecting the valley below the ranch, the Wind River offers some of the best and most varied fishing in the country. The Upper Wind River is a free-flowing natural river dominated by cutthroat trout. As the river meanders down the valley, rainbow and brown trout populations increase, giving anglers the chance to land all three species in one day. Public fishing access points up and down the river offer some of the best fishing near the town of Dubois. The many tributaries of the Wind River also offer excellent fishing. There are several trout-filled mountain streams and lakes within a short hike or horseback ride from the ranch. Some of these fisheries see only a few fishermen each year. In addition to the amazing fisheries close to the property, there are endless angling destinations and opportunities within a short drive from the ranch. These include the Buffalo Fork, the Snake River, and an abundance of streams and rivers in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. There are 626 lakes and reservoirs and 2,057 miles of streams that comprise the fishing waters of the Wind River Country. These include pristine mountain streams rushing beneath towering granite spires, crystal clear lakes amid the pines, wide rivers twisting through stunning canyons, and sprawling warm water reservoirs in striking desert landscapes. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Wildlife: The location of Washakie Wilderness Ranch is ideal for observing a wide range of wildlife. Bordered by public lands and just miles from the Washakie Wilderness Area, there are many game species present, including elk, moose, mule deer, bighorn sheep and antelope. In addition, mountain lions, bears, wolves, bobcats, and even the reclusive wolverine and lynx may be found in the area. The Washakie Wilderness Ranch has been a historical and principal migratory route for elk during the fall and winter months. For bird enthusiasts, this Wyoming ranch provides plenty of viewing opportunities for various types of hawks, eagles, owls and songbirds. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Conservation Easement: Due to the important ecological features of Washakie Wilderness Ranch, its crucial wildlife habitat, and its national forest boundary, an incoming owner could receive substantial tax benefits through the placement of a conservation easement on the ranch. The most likely recipients of a conservation easement on this property would be the Jackson Hole Land Trust or The Nature Conservancy. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Recreation: The Washakie Wilderness Ranch is a horse enthusiast’s dream. With direct access to the Shoshone National Forest and the Washakie Wilderness Area, there are literally thousands of miles of public trails and millions of acres to explore. A person could step off the front porch and travel the same trails once used by Teddy Roosevelt, Chief Joseph, and John Colter. Just west of the ranch, where the Wind River and Absaroka mountains meet, is Togwotee Pass. Predominantly national forest, this area in winter offers tremendous snowmobiling and backcountry skiing opportunities. Just over the pass are Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, with their millions of pristine acres and several lifetimes’ worth of hiking, exploring, fishing, mountaineering, and sightseeing opportunities. Just beyond the parks are the Town of Jackson and Teton Village. Together, these nearby areas provide many opportunities for hiking; biking; camping; rock-climbing; fishing and hunting; river rafting and kayaking; horseback riding; wildlife and landscape photography; several excellent golf courses; backcountry and Nordic skiing; and, for the alpine skier, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort—recently voted #1 in the nation in a poll of skiers. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Hunting: The Washakie Wilderness Ranch is located in the migration routes for elk and deer and is in the highly desirable Hunt Area 67 for elk and Area 128 for deer. The property has the potential to qualify for elk and mule deer non-resident landowner permits. The Wyoming Game & Fish Department issues the tags each year based on wildlife use. There are a number of guide services operating in the area, including the storied Absaroka Ranch just down the road. www.LiveWaterProperties.com Summary Washakie Wilderness Ranch is a stunningly beautiful 160- acre parcel tucked away in its own private valley at the base of Ramshorn Peak in the Wind River Mountains. With direct access to the Shoshone National Forest and the Washakie Wilderness Area and proximity to Jackson Hole, Yellowstone National Park, and Grand Teton National Park Ranch, the ranch offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and sightseeing. Located in the heart of Western history, culture, and wilderness, this is a spectacular alpine ranch.
