Sold: Irma Lake

Property Details

First settled by William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody as his personal hunting retreat, Irma Lake is a stunning 492 +/- acres of wilderness which offers a recreational paradise for wild trout, Mule deer and trophy elk.  Named after his daughter, Irma Lake is a dynamic property set in an area that fosters the western spirit epitomized by Buffalo Bill.  Located 21 miles from Cody, the views of the South Fork of the Shoshone River Valley and Absaroka Mountains are stunning, and the proximity to Yellowstone National Park is unbeatable. The setting is a mixture of alpine and park landscape which are highlighted by seven spring-fed lakes.  Three of these lakes are thriving with Yellowstone cutthroat, rainbow and brook trout. This ranch also has the distinction of being located in one of the finest elk hunting regions in the state and is easily accessible to the Shoshone, Washakie, and Bridger-Teton Wilderness areas. The extensive improvements of the historic and contemporary structures feature the completely renovated and updated main residence that overlooks Irma Lake and Buffalo Bill’s hunting cabin, which has been preserved in its original condition.
