With over 2800 acres to its credit, Sybille Ranch north of Laramie, Wyoming, is an ideal haven for elk, pronghorn, and trout. Sportsmen with an eye toward an unspoiled and undeveloped piece of the Laramie Mountains with underutilized hunting and fishing resources would do well to have Sybille Ranch in their sights. With great year-round access and power nearby, this property begs for the addition of a cabin or lodge to transform it into a retreat to satisfy the hunter and angler in search of a remarkable Wyoming retreat unscathed by the passage of time.
The southern end of the Laramie Mountains is a mix of rolling grasslands, picturesque granite outcrops, and occasional groves of limber pine. Sybille Ranch, at about 7500 feet, includes all of these features, plus over 3 miles of Middle Sybille Creek, which is key to the big game and the trout that live here. Three reservoirs along the creek and numerous other springs and seeps serve as permanent water sources for large herds of both pronghorn and elk. Hunting is consistently good for both of these species on the ranch, with herds of elk frequently numbering in the hundreds. Over the counter cow elk tags make annual success a virtual certainty.
The reservoirs of Sybille Ranch have been stocked with brook, rainbow, and brown trout, and were once leased by a fishing club. With the passage of 15 years since, some of these trout have undoubtedly grown to stunning proportions! Both shore and float fishing are possible here, with a chance of small stream fishing for brookies as well.
This 2806-acre ranch has been leased to a neighboring ranch for summer cattle grazing, which is enhanced by an additional 160 acres BLM lease. This use could continue, along with its hunting and fishing opportunities, but the property really cries out for the addition of a lodge near its western boundary (power is 1/2 mile distant), or an off-grid cabin on the shore of one of the lakes. Year-round access is available in the southwestern quarter of the property via State Highway 34 and County Road 12.
Boasting a great private feel, Sybille Ranch is nonetheless very convenient to Laramie, only 30 minutes away, and Cheyenne, Wyoming’s capital, is 90 minutes distant. Laramie, as one of Wyoming’s larger cities, has all of the expected amenities, plus the bonus of the University of Wyoming, and the cultural opportunities that it brings. At Laramie, Interstate 80 and Laramie Regional Airport keep you easily connected with the rest of the world.
With its excellent big game hunting and trophy stillwater fishing already in place, Sybille Ranch is “good to go” as an excellent big game and fishing location. With a bit of vision and the addition of a cabin or lodge, it might become your Wyoming dream destination for decades to come.
