Connelley Ranch

Farm Description

The Connelley Ranch is ideally located just 20 miles northeast of Wheatland, Wyoming and only 7 southwest of beautiful Guernsey State Park. Tucked away at the end of a county-maintained private road, the property offers 240± deeded acres of rolling landscapes, with privacy, and pristine views in every direction. The ranch home is sheltered by rows of well-established trees, all supported by an efficient drip irrigation system. The home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with pine flooring throughout the lower level. An upper-level balcony, which has new laminate flooring, showcases stunning views of the Laramie Range as well as the 100'X200' outdoor arena. The property is serviced by a high-quality well that supplies both domestic and livestock water. The current owners are in the final stages of permitting the well for irrigation use, creating an excellent opportunity to implement a rotational grazing system which can offer 5 varieties of native grasses. Historically, the ranch has supported the calving of 250-300 head of cows annually from March 1 through May 20, with hay supplementation as needed. The working pens are designed to handle 400 head and include a long sorting alley and lead-up to the chute for efficient livestock handling. The pastures also accommodate broodmares and foals throughout the summer and fall seasons. Additional improvements include a 96'X70' indoor riding arena that can double as a calving barn during harsh weather; a 36'X48' fully insulated and heated shop with a 24' lean to, and a 2,400 square foot Quonset shop.
