Only a short drive from the famed Oregon Trail in east-central Wyoming lies the South Bear Creek Ranch, an unspoiled chunk of the Laramie Range with remarkable potential as a recreation base camp with summer cattle grazing. The views of nearby 10,272-foot Laramie Peak and its foothills are exceptional and give the sense that this is country with plenty of room to breathe. With State Land on one side and nearly surrounded by large ranches on all other sides, the 1208-acre South Bear Creek Ranch virtually defines “elbow room”.
The South Bear Creek Ranch lies at about 5300 feet and includes outstanding mule deer and elk habitat, with a native mix of sagebrush, grass and scattered ponderosa pines. This area of Wyoming supports large herds of elk and antelope as well, not to mention black bear, mountain lions, coyotes and bobcats.
South Bear Creek is a seasonal creek that runs through the ranch itself. Two solar wells and two stock tanks provide water for livestock and wildlife. With several fine building site options, this Wyoming ranch could be developed into an ideal hunting lodge or summer retreat or could be kept undeveloped as a land investment. The property may qualify for landowner big game tags.
Although it has the feel of being remote, South Bear Creek is remarkably accessible. Glendo and Interstate 25 are only 25 minutes away, and Wheatland is only slightly further.
In the 1840s, thousands of Oregon Trail pioneers passed by Laramie Peak on their way to Oregon Territory. We think they missed something by not stopping here for good. Let Harrigan Land Company show you this piece of mountain paradise that shouldn’t be overlooked.
