Historic Ranch House on the Wind River

Original historic ranch houses located west of scenic Dubois, Wyoming on the Wind River. Large log home on 10+ acres with Wind River frontage. This home has a huge living room, cozy den area, 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, , screened-in covered porch, front porch, 3-car garage and a spring-fed pond that is perfect for ice skating in the winter. There is a well-established yard, trees galore with lots of Aspen, cottonwood, wild rosebrushes, river birch, huge spruce trees and some pines; beautifully wooded for a quiet retreat with an abundance of birds and wildlife. The home is heated with electric baseboard heaters as well as with wood. There is a large fireplace insert in the living room, a soapstone stove in the den area and a Vermont Casting stove in the master bedroom. The majority of the interior walls have pine panelling. The floor coverings vary from wood to linoleum with some carpet,. Please note that this is an older home that was built in the 40s. It is very similar to an old dude ranch style main lodge. The 3-car log garage is detached. Both the house and the garage have newer metal roofs that are in good condition. It is a nice change to get back to the simple beauty of logs with their warm rustic nuance. Come to the mountains to experience the realness of western living at a slower pace. This property would be perfect for a family getaway or vacation rental. It would also lend itself nicely for a corporate retreat. This property is secluded with easy access yet is located only 6 miles from town. The main house has adjudicated water rights from both the spring-fed pond as well as water rights for irrigating the hay pastures from the Wind River and Shapo Ditch. There are not too many of these older established homesteads that come on the market these days. And the ones that do, don't last long. It is as if you own your own historic guest ranch.......that is the feeling of living here. Like you are always on vacation!
