AN OUTSTANDING  WORKING RANCH WITH MANY RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

The ranch is owner-rated at approximately 250-300 Animal Units (AUs).  The ranch could be utilized as either a year around cow/calf operation or as a 5± month yearling operation for 600± head.  The ranch is divided into seven pastures including hay meadows.  The ranch is currently leased to the neighbor on a season-to-season basis.  Note:  Carrying capacity may vary due to weather conditions and management practices.  Interested parties should conduct their own analysis. The elevation on the ranch ranges from 7000 feet to 8100 feet above sea level.  According to the Natural Resource Conservation Service 30-year average, the annual precipitation is approximately 18 inches with 85 to 110 frost-free days.

The North Laramie River is the main water source to the ranch, flowing south from Toltec Reservoir.  Negro Creek and Twenty-two Mile Creek flow into the North Laramie River. Toltec Reservoir, built in 1984, provides good supplemental irrigation water to the hay meadows. The ranch holds 40% of the Toltec Reservoir shares and is assessed an annual fee of $10 per acre-foot for water storage by the Toltec Watershed Improvement District.  Toltec Reservoir covers 395 surface acres with storage capacity for 3,944 acre feet; 2,352 acre feet for irrigation. A copy of the ranch’s water rights is available to prospective buyers. A 7-mile gravity-fed water line served by a well and a 30,000-gallon holding tank provides adequate water for stock. In addition, there are several natural (seasonal) springs, reservoirs and creeks.

The North Laramie River Ranch offers very good year around outdoor recreational opportunities away from the crowd, including hiking, horseback riding, photography, snowmobiling, fishing and big game hunting.  The ranch is allotted two landowner elk permits in Hunt Area 7.  The Laramie Mountains offer elk, mule deer, mountain lion and bear hunting; while antelope hunting is available on the High Plains.

THE HOME & IMPROVEMENTS

The main ranch home (2,320 sq. ft.) is a new 1½ story log home (lodge) with vaulted ceilings, 4 bedrooms each with its own ¾ bath, living room with native stone fireplace (quadra-fire unit with adjustable rheostat), dining area and kitchen.  The second level has two open game rooms.  According to the Assessor’s records, the lodge was built in 1998.  There is a 4’ crawl space that contains two 40-gallon hot water tanks.  Heat is electric baseboard.  Outbuildings include a 3,960 sq. ft. shop/barn built in 1973, and a set of corrals with a loading chute.
