Acreage Breakdown:

The Ranch elevation is approximately 5,375 feet above sea level.

Buffalo experiences a semi-arid climate with cold, dry winters, wet springs, and hot summers.  The average annual precipitation in nearby Buffalo is 13.26 inches. The Ranch sits in a valley that is noted for exceptionally mild winters.  When much of the surrounding area is covered in snow, often the Ranch is enjoying milder conditions.  This proves to be beneficial from the standpoint of good year-round access and more accommodating weather for livestock.

The log home, constructed in 2005, is the centerpiece of the Ranch.  Consisting of 6,685± square feet of indoor living space and over 1,500 square feet of decks overlooking the creek, the attention to detail is evident throughout the home.  With four bedrooms and four half bathrooms, and an additional living quarters above the garage, the home has enough room for your family and closest friends. With wood and tile floors throughout the main level, tiled showers, custom doors, and trim, custom iron light fixtures throughout the house, and uniquely stained and stamped concrete floors in the basement, the quality of craftsmanship is notable. The spacious living room with a vaulted log ceiling is well situated to serve as a gathering place for friends and family.  A large rock fireplace anchors the room and adds the perfect ambiance to the evening with the sounds of a crackling fire.  A raised loft area above the living room includes a freestanding propane stove and provides a cozy spot to read or relax. The kitchen overlooks the creek and features granite countertops, a copper farmhouse sink, a copper-colored backsplash, top-of-the-line appliances, and a functional layout.

The master suite has its own deck which has an amazing view of Crazy Woman Mountain.  Upon opening the door onto the deck the sounds of the creek are heard.  The master bathroom has a luxurious deep soaker tub and a walk-in tiled shower with copper trim.  An oversized shower head coming from the ceiling is very inviting.

The outdoor living space consists of 1,500 square feet of decks and stone patios.  Two outdoor fireplaces provide an opportunity to take the chill off as the sun sets behind the mountains. Downstairs, a family room with a long shuffleboard table is the first attraction to be found.  Two additional bedrooms are in the basement including one master guest suite and a bedroom with 3 bunks beds and a nearby bathroom.

Living quarters above the three-car garage include a kitchen and living area, a large bedroom, and a bathroom.
