Investment quality. The 1,155-acre Diamond Creek Ranch (880 deeded acres), with direct access to the Bighorn National Forest by way of a shared boundary, is a rare opportunity to own such a beautiful property that captures the essence of the Sheridan Lifestyle. Located in the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains with about a mile of Diamond Creek flowing through, the ranch comfortably positions you for excellent mountain views, and sweeping views of the Goose Creek Valley below, all the while assuring you of unspoiled landscape view-shed, privacy and peace of mind in perpetuity.
Historically, the Diamond Creek Ranch, from the time it was homesteaded in the late 1800s, has been used agriculturally and recreationally and even spent some time as a guest ranch. From livestock grazing to outstanding hunting and outdoor recreation, this ranch has always exemplified the best of Wyoming's outdoor adventures and heritage. Wishing to preserve the legacy of what's so important to the area's community and character, previous owners chose to permanently protect the ranch with a conservation easement.
The Landscape and Environment at The Diamond Creek Ranch was protected in 1994 with a Nature Conservancy Easement, which has allowed the very best of what Sheridan, Wyoming and the West have to offer. Livestock grazing is allowed and currently helps to manage this environment. The flora, fauna and landscape on this ranch and all of the surrounding ranches will forever embody what people, for generations, have come to cherish and expect from this special area along the east slope of Wyoming's precious Big Horn Mountains. For more information on this Easement, please contact us.
This property also adjoins the Big Horn National Forest for about a quarter mile near the top of the spectacular Red Canyon and it enjoys a 275-acre State of Wyoming grazing lease, which is contiguous with the 880 deeded acres and allows for grazing and recreation. This is a 10-year lease and it renews in 2015.
Starting at an elevation of about 4,600', the property gently climbs towards Lambert's Cabin, a quaint and charming place to relax that overlooks two beautiful ponds in the middle of the property at about 5,000'. From Lambert's Cabin, the property then climbs up through beautiful mountain meadows to the steeper and timbered ridges and to where the property adjoins the Bighorn National Forest. At the top of the property, around 5,900', you can either continue on into the mountains, or just turn around and enjoy an "eagle's view" of the ranch and surrounding landscape below. Throughout the property, punctuating the meadows and uplands, you'll find brush-filled draws and three reservoirs, giving great diversity of landscape and habitat for the many species that call this ranch ecosystem home. Among the many species of wildlife on the Diamond Creek Ranch, you might encounter mule deer, white-tail deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, coyotes, black bears, pheasants, grouse, and a whole myriad of water fowl and birds of prey.
From the most intimate details of wildflowers and nighthawks, to the awe-inspiring "big picture" views, this incredible ranch will timelessly continue, with agriculture, recreation and hunting, and peace of mind.
