The Hidden Gem Ranch is a private and scenic ranch with exceptional trout fishing on the North Laramie River. The owner has done extensive work on the portion which traverses their boundary. There is 1,275 deeded acres and 40 BLM lease acres. There is a large reservoir which fills on its own most years and can also be filled using a water right from the North Laramie River. The ranch has multiple species of wildlife including elk, mule deer, whitetail deer and antelope. The current owner has summered 55 head of yearlings on the southern portion and left the feed on the river bottom and northern portion for the wildlife. The Hidden Gem is fenced into three pastures. Most of the fence on the ranch is less than three years old. The terrain consists of cottonwood and willow-lined river bottom, irrigated meadows that transition into rolling grass hills, pine tree covered hillsides and then a nice flat with incredible views of the Laramie Range. There are approximately 22 acres of flood irrigated pasture with water coming from the North Laramie River. Improvements include a recently remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin and an equipment shed.
