Hoback Recreational Cabin
Tucked along the Teton National Forest boundary, this quiet escape is located along the longest recorded mule deer migration corridor in the world! Home to moose, mule deer, and elk, this cabin can be a work from home oasis or a seasonal hunting camp. Bordering public land this 40 acres is an exemplary showcase of the importance of healthy forestry management.
Land
The land is sloped high-elevation timber with willow creekbottoms along the valley. There is a healthy amount of aspen stands mixed into the conifer vegetation, allowing abundant native grass growth. The surrounding properties to the west were in the easternmost side of the historic Roosevelt fire in 2018 where 50 homes were destroyed (61,500 acres). Since the fire, there are many properties in the area working to clean up the standing dead timber and help nature restore the forest vegetation. THIS PROPERTY IS LARGELY UNBURNED!...
The land is sloped high-elevation timber with willow creekbottoms along the valley. There is a healthy amount of aspen stands mixed into the conifer vegetation, allowing abundant native grass growth. The surrounding properties to the west were in the easternmost side of the historic Roosevelt fire in 2018 where 50 homes were destroyed (61,500 acres). Since the fire, there are many properties in the area working to clean up the standing dead timber and help nature restore the forest vegetation. THIS PROPERTY IS LARGELY UNBURNED! A large factor in this property surviving the fire was the land slope aspect and heavy limbing/forestry management practices the previous owners took.
The surrounding area is beginning to see the natural process of native grasses taking from seed and with time the healthy timber stand will bring the mountain back to life. The situation of this property being largely unaffected in an area surrounded by the recent fire scar provides future owners with ease of mind due to the mitigation of any large fires in the area for decades to come with continued forestry management.
Improvements
The beautifully constructed and well maintained Log Cabin boast 3 beds & 2 baths and 2196 sq ft of living space. Walking into the Cabin you will love the large 19 ft vaulted ceilings. Find yourself next to the warm crackling fireplace, admiring the Mountain View and meandering wildlife from your living room.
There are underground utilities on the property with Centurylink internet service and cellular service at the cabin. This property has it all!
Recreation
Minutes from the Teton Nation Forest boundary, this property offers endless recreation opportunities. The area is known for its trout fishing opportunities and quality hunting experience. With the Wind River Range to the East and the Wyoming Range to the West, this property is situated in a prime location for close access to trophy level Elk and Mule Deer hunting. This property lies in Elk hunting unit 92 which is a General draw area and Deer hunting unit 154 which is also a general draw area. This area is the migratory corridor for the longest mule deer migration in the world. The wildlife are abundant, including big game (Moose, Elk, Deer) and fowl (Canadian geese and Sandhill Crane). There are hunting restrictions on the 40 acres itself, however, the large public acreage surrounding is enough to keep you searching over the next hill. Beyond nearby hunting and fishing opportunity, this property borders BLM public land connected to National Forest allowing for everything from nordic skiing to horseback/backpacking and camping in the surrounding area.
Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources
The property has a domestic well with water rights to 325,000 gallons per year for domestic use. The well is about 150 feet deep with a maximum output of 25 GPM from the high quality aquifer.

History
This area is leading the charge in wildlife impact mitigation. The large projects in place for appropriate fencing and wildlife crossings can be seen for miles along US Highway 191. The Hoback Ranch Development was formed in 1976. The property is along the Hoback to Red Desert migration corridor for mule deer (also Pronghorn). This property has had a long history with environmental and wildlife awareness helping conserve the beauty it boasts. The continued efforts to allow regrowth through forestry management have been noted by local journals since the Roosevelt fire. As nature greens up the landscape, the hills continue to come back to life.
