IX Ranch - Wyoming, Johnson County, Buffalo

The ranch is situated in a very secluded and private valley, just minutes from the Bighorn National Forest, which provides access to over one-million acres for hunting, fishing, camping, horseback riding and many other recreational opportunities. For the polo and equestrian enthusiast, the Big Horn Equestrian Center is only a 45 minute drive to the north.

Situated in a private end-of-the-road valley is the main house and equestrian facilities.

The home includes 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a large kitchen and open dining area, vaulted living room with large rock fireplace, and numerous utility and office space areas. The home is heated with in-floor water heating via natural gas. Each bedroom has its own deck, overlooking North fork of Crazy Woman Creek, just feet away.

The horse/livestock facilities will accommodate a variety of equestrian styles, including polo, roping, cutting, and hunter-jumper.
