Rocking Chair Ranch

The Rocking Chair Springs Ranch is the old Double X summer pasture. It is 11,981 acres bordering the Medicine Bow National Forest for over one mile at the Pole Mountain Unit. This ranch has only seen two ownerships since it was carved out of indian country along the tracts of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1867. When you can boast that you have the best elk hunting in Wyoming...that says alot; but, that's what you will have on this large ranch near Laramie, Wyoming. The ranch has never been encumbered by a conservation easement, so this opportunity exists for the new owner. The ranch is only 12 miles from Laramie, 35 miles from Cheyenne, and 2 hours from the Denver airport. There is no other quality recreational ranch for sale in Wyoming that is this well located. The location coupled with the fair price being asked for the ranch insures its purchase as a quality investment. Wyoming is considered to be one of the most favorable states for wealthy people to conduct business and own property since there is no state income tax or state estate tax. The 2009 property taxes were $2,909. At $14,000,000 or $1,169 per deeded acre, the Rocking Chair Springs Ranch is absolutely the best opportunity available in Wyoming to own this type of property in such an accessible location, and these opportunites will only become more rare, as large ranches near population are subdivided.
