Improvements
The ranch has ample improvements but is not over-improved. The Fishing Lodge parcel includes a beautiful 1,800 sq. ft. log home with 2 bedrooms that sits right on the Little Laramie River. There is an original homestead 300 sq ft cabin that is now used as the Fish House on Boomers Pond and a great place to have a cocktail and entertain or relax and drown a worm. There is also a guest cottage next to the main lodge with two guest rooms, two bathrooms, storage room and garage. There is a brick ranch-style Managers House with 2,200 square feet, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, Quonset shop 37×100, large metal barn, calving shed and numerous loafing sheds and a great set of working corrals.
The Homestead Barn is western nostalgia at its best! Photographers have traveled from all over to take pictures of the remodeled original barn.
