Big Horn Whiskey Ranch Sold: 400 Acres on the Eastern Slope of the Bighorns

Mirr Ranch Group has closed the sale of a 400± acre ranch on the eastern slope of the Bighorn Mountains: Big Horn Whiskey Ranch, 12 miles north of Buffalo in Johnson County, Wyoming. Congras to Erik Anderson, Broker Associate, and Jared Souza, Senior Vice President, on this sale.

The property paired recreation and big game hunting with four separate sources of lease income. A 35,000-square-foot building was leased for aging whiskey barrels. About 69.5 acres of alfalfa grew under a center pivot, a local rancher held a grazing and farming lease, and a tenant rented the farmhouse.

The ranch also held shares in three ditch and reservoir companies, plus three water wells, one of them solar powered and feeding a one-third-acre reservoir. The property has seasonal frontage on two forks of Shell Creek: 0.60 miles on the North Fork and 0.42 miles on the Little North Fork.

Big Horn Whiskey Ranch adjoins 9,983 acres of State land with limited public road access. It also offers access to the Bighorn National Forest from the Buffalo side. Antelope, mule deer, whitetail, and elk all use the property, which was once a registered game-bird farm.

The improvements include a three-bedroom, two-bath farmhouse, a detached three-car garage, a four-stall horse barn with a tack room, and a livestock and hay barn.
