Mountain View Equestrian Center

Home, Arena and Lake DeSmet

Situated in the picturesque Shell Creek valley, along the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains, lies the historic Triangle S Ranch. This property is primarily used for equestrian and recreational activities, but includes a small cattle and hay production operation. The indoor arena and vast amount of adjoining public land make this the perfect place for the equestrian enthusiast; either for professional purposes, or leisure and enjoyment. The arena is currently used for horse trainers, clinics and roping events. For those interested in creating an equestrian center enterprise, the opportunity is here indeed.

• N. Fork of Shell Creek runs through the property
• Mountain Views
• Easy access to Sheridan or Buffalo
• Triangle S Brand is included

Hay production on the ranch varies from year to year, but annual yields of 3-4 tons per acre are possible. The grazing land is best suited for a very small cow herd or for a place to turn out your horses. Bottom line is that it’s great having both the irrigated land and the dryland pasture. Additionally, the hay fields, along with the riparian areas provide great habitat for wildlife, especially deer, upland birds and an occasional elk.

History & Broker Comments

Triangle S Ranch Sign

The Triangle S Ranch was established in 1882 while Wyoming was still a territory. This beautiful 400-acre equestrian ranch is ideally located between the two coveted towns of Sheridan and Buffalo, WY. Properties like the Triangle S are in high demand, yet seldom do they come on the market. Perhaps it’s the proximity to the incredible Bighorn Mountains. After all, mountain views are always at the top of the list for people who want to live in Wyoming.  It could also be the incredible views of the unique Wyoming hills and plains to the East. Or, maybe it’s the privacy that comes from the lack of nearby development and the nearly unending public land that adjoins this property. Honestly, the best answer is probably all the above, but you will definitely want to come see for yourself. When you do, you’ll find a whole lot more reasons to appreciate this northern Wyoming equestrian ranch.
