N. Fork Shell Creek Ranch · Land For Sale · 640.00 AC

Nestled in the shadow of the Bighorn Mountains is perhaps one of the most private ranches to be found anywhere along this coveted foothill area. The N. Fork Shell Creek Ranch is completely surrounded by public land with no public roads anywhere to be seen. If the serenity of peace and quiet, coupled with the beauty of the surrounding countryside and beautiful Bighorn Mountains sounds nice we invite you to take a closer look at the N. Fork. Currently operated as a small scale grass ranch, but also used for big game hunting and other recreational activities. We invite you to get better acquainted with the property by taking a look at pictures and explore the property by watching the aerial video coverage. Better yet, plan to take an on-site tour of the property. Ranch Operations N. Fork is currently used as a grazing operation for about 90 cows. It is supported by about 1,120 acres of State land as well as a 90 AUM USFS summer grazing allotment in the Bighorn Mountains. The allotment is known as the Willow Park grazing allotment and includes a cow camp with a cabin. Cattle are trailed there in mid summer from the range below where they then spend the duration of the summer grazing on nutritious mountain grasses. (Please note: The USFS lease cannot be assigned, but the Seller will agree to relinquish their rights in it.) For the balance of the year and depending on the type of operation one would like to have, the cattle can be seasonally grazed on the State and deeded land. Recreation The deeded land of the N. Fork serves as the perfect base of operations for anyone wanting their own private hunting land where avid sportsmen have direct access to literally tens of thousands of acres of public land for whatever is permissible to do on them. Major species include elk (hunt area 36); mule deer (hunt area 27); antelope (hunt area 102). Improvements The N. Fork Ranch is a blank canvas with numerous great building sites for anyone seeking to build their dream home. Location N. Fork Ranch is located about 20 minutes north of Buffalo, Wyoming in Johnson County, approximately 30 minutes from Sheridan and 4 miles west of the Shell Creek exit on Interstate 90. Access is via well-maintained gravel county roads and private roads. Both Sheridan and Buffalo have jet accessible airports.
