History
Saratoga. Wyoming is named after an Iroquois Indian word Sarachtoue, which translates to “place of miraculous water in the rock” referring to the active mineral hot springs in town. The area surrounding Saratoga, Wyoming is still predominately comprised of large cattle ranches as it was over a century ago. The 110-acre property was originally part of a large ranch owned by the same family for approximately 60 years. The home and other improvements were built in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and are all in excellent condition.
