LOCATION:
North Valley Ranch
lies 23 miles north of Riverton Wyoming in a private valley south of the Owl
Creek Mountains. The
surrounding area is famous for producing high quality alfalfa with
consistent yields and as a mild wintering area for livestock. This farm
features a re-modeled ranch style home with landscaping, a small guest house
and large, heated shop. This is a commercial size farm with a good potential
for either wintering livestock or selling premium alfalfa hay.

COMMENTS:
This is a property
that would work well as a winter unit or a commercial hay operation. It lies
in a protected valley bordered by sandstone cliffs and fronted by beautiful
views of the Owl Creek
Mountains. The
production in this area is reputed to be some of the best in Wyoming for
alfalfa
hay which thrives on
the sandy soil and plentiful water. There is school bus service to the door
and best of all a
great community of rural businesses and good neighbors.
