Little Horse Creek Retreat

Listing Price: $1,970,000

Located in Fremont County, Wyoming, Little Horse Creek Retreat is five miles from charming Dubois, off Horse Creek Road.  Sitting in the shadows of the Ramshorn Peak and the Washakie Wilderness Area, Little Horse Creek enjoys a backyard of over three million acres of continuous BLM lands, wilderness area and national forest.  The property encompasses 220 acres traversed by Little Horse Creek and lined with Cottonwood trees and irrigated hay meadows that border the riparian ground.  This landscape leads up to the sagebrush hills and red sand stone outcroppings.

Dubois is an authentic old western town with historic buildings and wooden boardwalks.  Despite its smaller size, Dubois offers many amenities normally found in larger communities including a grocery store/drug store, restaurants, shopping and a nine-hole golf course.  Dubois is home to the National Bighorn Sheep Center and boasts a 6,100’ private air strip.  Commercial air service is available an hour east of Dubois at the Wind River County Airport offering flights from Great Lakes, Frontier and United Express airlines.  The Jackson Hole Airport is two hours west of Dubois and offers service from Delta, United Express, American, Frontier and Northwest airlines.  In addition, the resort community of Jackson Hole provides shopping, dining, cultural activities and world-class skiing.  Grand Teton National Park's eastern boundary is 70 miles from Little Horse Creek Retreat and Old Faithful is two and half hours from the ranch.  Millions of visitors pass through the area each year to take advantage of natural wonders located in both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. 

Little Horse Creek Retreat is ready for an incoming owner to use it as a guest ranch, corporate/family retreat, church/kids camp, or high end RV park.  Millions of dollars have been invested in the improvements of the Little Horse Creek Retreat as the original buildings have been completely renovated and additional thousands of square feet of new construction have been added.

Bisecting the valley below the ranch, the Wind River offers some of the best and varied fishing in the country.  The Upper Wind River is a free flowing natural river dominated mostly by cutthroat trout.  As the river meanders down the valley, the rainbow and brown trout populations increase giving anglers the chance of landing all three species in a day.  There are public fishing access points up and down the river with some of the top fishing located in the town of Dubois.

The setting of Little Horse Creek Retreat provides one of the area's most diverse wildlife viewing environments.  Bordered on two sides by public lands and just miles away from the Shoshone Forest and Washakie Wilderness area, it is no wonder why so many different species of wildlife call this area home. More notably are the ranch's big game species that at any given time of the year may include elk, moose, Mule deer and antelope.  In addition bear, mountain lion, wolves, bobcats and even the elusive wolverine and lynx can all be found on the ranch and in the nearby national forest.  Little Horse Creek Retreat has also been a historical and principle migratory route for elk during the fall and winter months.  For bird enthusiasts, the ranch provides plenty of viewing opportunities for various types of hawks, eagles, owls and songbirds.

Little Horse Creek Retreat is a horse enthusiast’s dream.  With direct access to the BLM lands and close to the Shoshone National Forest and Washakie Wilderness there are literally thousands of miles of public trails and millions of acres to explore.  A person could step off the front porch and travel the same trails once used by John Colter, Chief Joseph, and Teddy Roosevelt.
