The property consists of the 3,430 +/- deeded acres and an additional 4,205 +/- leased acres located in both Colorado and Wyoming. Situated at the base of Bull Mountain overlooking the Laramie Plains with approximately 3,040 acres in Colorado and 390 acres in Wyoming, the landscape varies from timbered mountainsides to tree lined creeks and irrigated meadows. In all, the ranch controls approximately 7,635 acres and includes 200+/- irrigated acres, end-of-the-road privacy, and sweeping views of both the Medicine Bow Mountains. Elevations on the ranch range from approximately 7,300’ – 8,840’ above sea level.

The ranch is extensively improved with everything needed to handle a year round ranch operation. There is a comfortable 3,500 sq ft ranch home with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms overlooking a tree lined creek and irrigated meadows. Also, there is a 3 bedroom ranch managers/bunk house and a rustic hunting cabin on Bull Mountain.

In addition to the homes, the property is well endowed with numerous operations improvements including: a large indoor riding arena, a large metal horse barn/equipment building with a veterinary room, a second log horse barn, equipment buildings, garages, hay sheds, storage sheds, dryer bins, scales, great piped corrals, horse paddocks, scales, squeeze chutes, fencing, and irrigation equipment. Electricity, phone service, wells and septic systems are already in place on the ranch. All improvements have been well kept, and are in good working order.

From Denver, take Interstate 25 to Highway 14 through Fort Collins then merge on to US 287 North towards Laramie, Wyoming. Follow US 287 approximately 40 miles to Sportsman’s Lake Rd just north of Tie Siding, Wyoming. The ranch is approximately 30 miles to the southwest.

From Laramie, take Route 230 for 12 miles to Brubaker Lane and the ranch is 12 miles to the south.

The ranch is located approximately 30 minutes south of Laramie, 3 hours from Denver, and 2 hours from Fort Collins.


The area surrounding Bull Mountain Ranch is rich in pioneer history, and the landscape is still mostly comprised of large cattle ranches as it was over a century ago. Laramie was founded in the mid-1860s on the Overland Stage Line route and the Union Pacific portion of the first transcontinental railroad. The city takes its name from Jacques LaRamie, a French or French-Canadian trapper who disappeared in the Laramie Mountains in the late 1810s and was never heard from again.


The ranch is conveniently located between two economic/cultural hubs to their respective states - Laramie, Wyoming and Fort Collins, Colorado. The historic downtown area of Laramie remains much as it was in the late 1800s, however the University of Wyoming brings with it a lively atmosphere including upscale shopping, dining and entertainment, giving it a modern advantage. Nestled in a valley between the Laramie Range and the Snowy Range, the area is a popular destination for a wide variety of outdoor enthusiasts. The surrounding Medicine Bow and Roosevelt National Forests offer four seasons of outdoor activities, and the granite formations at Vedauwoo State Park are celebrated by rock climbers around the world. Fly fishermen and rafters are also attracted to the area because of the Laramie River which is known as an excellent brown trout fishery. The Laramie River runs through the town toward its confluence with the North Platte River east of the Laramie Range. Laramie is the County seat for Albany County, and offers all services including grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, regional airport, banks, hospital, veterinary services, farm equipment dealers and feed stores.

Much like Laramie, Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University which has one of the most highly reputed agriculture programs in the county. Nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Fort Collins offers exciting recreational opportunities, unique cultural offerings, and is a regional center for employment and shopping. Throughout the year, live music and entertainment, as well as great local dining, can be found throughout the historic downtown area. Fort Collins offers the convenience of a small town with all the amenities of a larger city.
