Just 10 minutes west of Sheridan, WY on paved Big Goose Road, Baker Creek Ranch awaits along Big Goose Creek. This 295± acre ranch has a beautiful owners’ home, a fishing cabin, indoor arena, shop, equipment/hay storage shed and 100 year-old historic barn. The ranch and all landscaping is meticulously maintained. It’s all set up and ready for you in excellent condition, which demonstrates the care and pride of ownership from the current owners. To accentuate the pride of ownership, the fences are all in great condition, the landscaping is beautifully maintained and most roads are paved, which makes the ranch very user-friendly.

The beauty of this ranch is that it allows for a very open feeling with large views while also providing comfort of privacy and intimacy with the surrounding environment. One might even say that this is the quintessential Big Horn Mountain foothills ranch, as it perfectly captures the quality of life associated with living the “Sheridan Lifestyle”.

Enjoy the fly-fishing in Big Goose Creek, riding on the property or in the indoor riding arena, or the hunting and outdoor recreation that this ranch affords.

Furthermore, this ranch has a production side to it with the tremendous water rights and irrigation. A tenant currently leases the hay production and grazing.

 

The Baker Creek Ranch is located about half way between Billings, MT and Casper, WY and just 10 miles, or about 10 minutes from downtown Sheridan, WY in the heart of the Big Goose Creek drainage just a few miles from where it exits Big Goose Canyon on its way to the Tongue River. This watershed is, of course, part of the great land “where the rivers run north” that has been so coveted for over 130 years of ranching, but even prior to that when it was inhabited by the Plains Indians. The soils and the grasses have always provided excellent feed for the livestock and wildlife, but additionally, it’s the overall combination of water, soils and climate that has made this area such a great place to live.

The charming community of Sheridan, WY has most amenities and conveniences, including jet service and a commercial airport as well as world-class golf, dining, medical facilities, first-rate schools (rated among the best in the nation) and shopping in Sheridan’s historic downtown. Furthermore, and more distinctly, Sheridan is home to the annual WYO Rodeo, world-class polo, Brinton Museum, Don King Days and many other uniquely “Sheridan” lifestyle events that are sure to please everyone. For further shopping and air service, one can find it in Billings, or Casper, each about two hours away. Furthermore, the Big Horn Mountains are only 30 minutes to the west, where you’ll find all the outdoor recreation you can imagine.

Climate

The climate around the Sheridan area is one of the most “live-able” climates in Wyoming with pleasant summers and moderate winters. Perhaps it’s the proximity to the 45th parallel along with the positioning next to the Big Horn Mountains and the lower altitude, but the Big Horn Mountain foothills have always been one of the most desirable places to live for those who have experienced it. Whatever the reason, it’s hard to argue that this area doesn’t have the greenest and most pleasant climates.
