Barber Creek Ranch

PINEDALE, WYOMING

Introduction

LLocated near Pinedale, Wyoming, the 808+ acre Barber Creek

Ranch is set amidst the foothills of the Wind River Mountains and in the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Snowcapped mountain peaks, sage covered hillsides and pasture bottoms provide breathtaking scenery from nearly every corner of the ranch. Barber Creek, the inspiration and namesake of the ranch, is a perennial stream that flows for almost two miles through the property forming lush meadow bottom grasses: a natural habitat for wildlife and livestock. Wildlife abounds on the ranch with elk, deer, antelope, moose, various raptors and many bird species including Sage Grouse. The ranch is adjacent to BLM, state, and national forest land, offering sweeping views and unlimited room to explore from the ranch boundary gates--on foot or horseback. World-class fishing is only minutes away on the famed Green and New Fork Rivers. Included in the ranch are large, solidly-constructed outbuildings for equipment and storage, a bunkhouse with solar power, and additional outbildings for recreational vehicles and gear. There are also numerous attractive sites for the next owner's dream home.

Equine

Barber Creek, although historically run as a cattle operation, is the ideal ranch for the horse enthusiast with 808 deeded acres, fenced and irrigated pasture lands, dry grazing hillsides, lush creek

bottoms and ample room to roam. There is no real need for a horse trailer, as Barber Creek boasts direct access to thousands of acres of public land just through the ranch gates. However, for those accustomed to the saddle and feeling more adventurous, there are numerous trailheads throughout the Green River Basin to explore the higher elevations of the Wind River Range, Wyoming Range or Bridger Wilderness. Both on and off the ranch, there are excellent riding opportunities and varying terrain options including overnight pack trips. Between the spring branding season, fall round ups and summer cattle drives, one could easily find themselves a day's work on horseback.
