Wood River Valley Ranch, Meeteetse, WY

    1248 Acres

    Located near the head waters of the picturesque Wood River this idyllic ranch is surrounded by the majestic snow capped peaks of Shoshone National Forest. Settled by gold and silver miners in the 1880s the area has a rich history of cattle ranching, hunting, fishing and gold and silver prospecting. With year round access the ranch boasts 1248 deeded acres ranging in elevation from 6900 feet along the river to more than 8500 feet at the top of the famous Noon Point Peak. With nearly a mile of the Wood River running through the property the land varies from riparian river bottom with towering cotton woods, irrigated pastures and fertile range lands to alpine meadows accented with quaking aspens.

    The ranch is bordered on the west and the south by Shoshone National Forest. Encompassing almost 4000 square miles this is the country’s first federally protected National Forest.  Just 20 minutes from the historic western town of Meeteetse and just 50 miles from the world famous Cody, Wyoming the ranch offers easy access to great shopping, fine dining, historic hotels, the Buffalo Bill Museum and the Cody night Rodeo.  

    With nearly a mile and a quarter of the Wood River running through the ranch enjoys some of the best Yellowstone Cutthroat fly fishing in the Rockies. The river provides excellent water source for both wildlife and livestock operations. This property boasts recreational opportunities all year long, such as hiking, camping, fly fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, hunting, wildlife viewing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. For the avid hunter the ranch has perfect habitat for whitetail and mule deer, elk, grouse, pheasant, moose, bear, mountain lions and wolves.
