ON THE INSIDE COVER
Wood River Ranch operates on about
4,000 acres with approximately 1,000 acres
of deeded land securing both sides of the
Wood River, 1,000 acres of landlocked state
leased lands and 2,000 acres of private
and public lease land. The ranch backs up
to some of the grandest and most remote
backcountry within the Greater Yellowstone
Ecosystem. Many places talk about having
a big back yard but only a select few places
can claim a backyard this big!
Wood River Ranch is offered turnkey and
move-in ready with all the real property as
well as the business assets. Additionally, in
place one will find an exceptional General
Manager and Executive Chef as the married
management team. The ranch currently is
operated catering to the owner’s desire for
hunting and fishing as well as raising hay and
cattle. The ranch operates its various units
to make money and reduce overall overhead
by providing private lodging and outfitting
services for hunting and fishing without
compromising the owner’s use.
The ranch has excellent water rights,
which are used to irrigate approximately
400 acres of hay meadow and irrigated
bottomland pasture. It is, in fact, the
last irrigated hay meadow going up
the Wood River Valley, and as such,
it is a magnet for the wildlife. It is a
common site to see herds of elk and
deer grazing in the meadows after the
hay has been harvested. The upland
mountain acreage is incredibly private
and provides interspersed open parks,
beautiful mountain lakes, springs, aspen
groves, and pine/spruce forests. There
is a wonderful trail system that takes you
to a beautiful lakeside rustic cabin with
the mountains rising up to the north that
is arguably the most charming spot one
can encounter in the entire valley. The
diversity of land encompasses all that one
can hope for. Ranging from the Wood River
and its lush Cottonwood-lined river bottom
hay meadows that transition to aspen
groves and parks filled with wildlife and
then ascending into evergreen forested
lands that give way to the surrounding
mountains and alpine terrain that protects
