Castle Rock Ranch is approximately 17 miles Southwest of Cody, Wyoming in the magnificent South Fork Valley of the Shoshone River. The ranch borders approximately one mile of the river, is surrounded on one side by dramatic spires, pinnacles and foothills while the other side has fields, sprawling foothills, evergreen forests and snow capped peaks of alpine topography.
The 214+/- acre Ranch lies along the South Fork River and includes the historical land mark, Castle Rock. According to history, John Colter, famed "Mountain Man", traveled through the valley and passed this land mark late in the fall of 1807. By 1907, homesteaders had claimed the land, built homes (typically beginning with a one or two room cabin), developed irrigation systems and cultivated their ranches, farming the land and raising livestock. The original ranch headquarters are located on the bench overlooking the river. More recently, and up river from there, dude ranch accommodations were added and for several years the ranch operation included the dude ranching business. Presently the cabins are used as guest cottages. The ranch owners' private, elegant residence, capturing the spectacular views, is located about a mile above the river, Other major ranch attractions include approximately one mile of river frontage, unique setting, location, spring fed pond, five wells, water rights, irrigated pastures, grazing land, utilities, county road access, easy access to BLM and Shoshone National Forest Lands, recreation opportunities in your "back yard" and enjoyment of the natural beauty of resident wild life, birds, the river, surrounding mountains, foot hills, rock formations and countryside. Property shown by scheduled appointment only. 24 hour notice is required.
