Clear Creek Valley Ranch

Land Description

This 569± contiguous acre ranch is located approximately three miles south of Clearmont, Wyoming. The property's varied topography creates a highly functional ranching environment. Elevations range from approximately 3,934 to 4,100 feet above sea level, offering natural shelter and protection for livestock throughout the year. Under the current management program, approximately 165± acres are dedicated to hay production, with an average annual yield of 1.5 tons per acre. Following harvest, the irrigated meadows typically produce substantial regrowth that provides valuable fall and winter grazing while enhancing habitat for wildlife. Water resources include two domestic water wells. Irrigation water is supplied from Clear Creek under two Certificates of Appropriation. One is for 1.57 CFS (110 acres) and is dated July 7, 1895 and the other one is for.78 CFS (55 acres) and is dated Dec. 7, 1914. Livestock water is provided from the wells, Clear Creek which flows year-round, and Roberts Ditch in the summer months. The ranch offers excellent habitat for several species of wildlife including deer, antelope, wild turkeys, and many upland game birds. To preserve the legacy of the Clear Creek Valley Ranch, a conservation easement has been granted to The Sheridan Community Land Trust.
