Sheridan Wyoming Equine Ranchette
The Rocknhat Ranchette epitomizes the Sheridan, Wyoming small ranch experience. With huge, unobstructed views and just over 43 acres, this meticulously maintained equestrian property, adjacent to over 7,260 acres of Wyoming State Land, is just a little over 7 miles southeast of downtown Sheridan, Wyoming— a premier lifestyle destinations in the American West. In the “tax-friendliest” state in America, the Rocknhat Ranch gives the perfect blend of privacy and proximity to Sheridan’s amenities. This small ranch not only has the best views in Sheridan County, and premier location, but with its water rights, equestrian facilities and thousands of acres of adjacent public land, it is the perfect rural Wyoming property.
Offering the best of the West, this compact agricultural property has a beautiful, custom log home; excellent irrigation that includes 25 shares of stored Kearny water for irrigation anywhere on the property, plus 30.7 acres of adjudicated water rights; a roping arena and round pen with sand, and indoor arena with tack room; fabulous views of the Bighorn Mountains, and an amazing large outdoor recreation area of Wyoming State land right out the back gate for riding, hiking, hunting, or sightseeing.
With a rustic, yet refined log home, built to the highest of standards by legendary log home builder- Kurt Luplow, it has the ambiance of a lodge, and the assurance that it’s structurally very sound and beautiful with the warmth of logs. It’s perfectly located with unobstructed, world-class views of the Bighorn Mountain “skyscrapers” – including Cloud Peak (13,173’), Blacktooth (13,005’), Mount Woolsey (12,979’), Bomber Mountain (12,854’).
Ranchette Log Home
The 5,148 sq ft log home was custom built by renowned log home builder, the late Kurt Luplow. His homes are legendary for their quality and craftmanship. Not one to cut corners, he specifically selected logs that would run the entire length of a wall without splices. The logs for this home were selected after a fire in northern Montana, and due to having been in a fire, and properly harvested, the integrity of the logs was maintained and the insulative properties are excellent. Both rustic and refined with spacious and comfortable rooms with views.
Equine Facilities
To truly make the ranchette a great equestrian property, the owners developed a beautiful outdoor arena with sand for good footing, plus they built a round pen, and they have an indoor barn large enough for some indoor riding, a tack room, and equipment storage. One can work as hard, or as little as one wants. The systems are all in place to maximize enjoyment without undo labor.
The arena (235’x107’ with a 6’ return alley and roping chute), used for roping, could be used for any number of equestrian disciplines. Due to the imported sand, this arena has excellent footing and will provide years of enjoyment, especially with the stunning views.
The Indoor Arena/Barn offers a nice place to do some groundwork with horses and indoor riding during inclement weather, plus it has a nice tack room with concrete floor, two horse stalls, and there’s still plenty of room to park equipment out of the weather.
The 60’ Round Pen with sand footing offers a place to start horses, or just to work a young horse before roping, or heading out to the State Land.
Water, Water Rights and the Land
Gently rising above US Highway 14, the land has Prairie Dog Ditch #7 running through, from which the irrigation water is delivered. Consider that it has excellent water rights and a sprinkler irrigation system to keep the meadows/horse pasture green and productive, even in very dry years. The owners secured a “Modern Day Water Right” for 30.7 adjudicated acres, but also purchased 25 shares of highly coveted Kearny Reservoir water (these will convey), which can be used anywhere on the property to supplement their adjudicated irrigation water, even after the adjudicated water is gone for the year. With this water, they can irrigate the entire property if they want, to keep the landscape green and productive. The productive meadows can yield up to 68 big round bales and 57 small square bales with fertilizer, and always grazing for the horses. Even in extremely dry years, this water is used into October. The water is pumped out of Prairie Dog Ditch #7 to 3 sprinklers (a big gun, and two mini-guns) via a buried pipeline. This pipeline adequately services the entire property. Additionally, the pipeline flows to an 8,000-gallon storage tank at the very top of the property, which can be used to backflow through the system if necessary for whatever reason one might need.
Adjacent State Land
The 7,260 acre parcel of State land is immediately adjacent to the property and one can walk or ride onto it for recreational purposes. It offers miles of riding or hiking, plus it’s known to produce large mule deer. Perhaps best of all, it gives one the opportunity to just go enjoy pure Wyoming land in privacy.
Rocknhat Ranchette Views
This property is perfectly located with unobstructed, world-class views of the Bighorn Mountain “skyscrapers” – including Cloud Peak (13,173’), Blacktooth (13,005’), Mount Woolsey (12,979’), Bomber Mountain (12,854’).
