39.92 acre lot at the end of a dead end street in a private, gated community with access to a private lakefront area (the reservoir itself is public). Whether you want a vacation spot for RVing, your private retirement paradise, or a beautiful rural dream home, Wild Horse Ranch is the perfect place to buy! With controlled access to the entire community, a herd of wild horses that freely roam the community, beautiful views of Sheep Mountain to the West and Rocky Mountain National Park to the South, and easy drives to Laramie to the East and the Snowy Mountain Ski Resort to the North, this little slice of heaven is a steal! This lot is bordered on the North and East by federal lands that are publicly accessible, so you'll always have space to wander if you just need to get outside for a bit. No worries about a home suddenly blocking your view of the rolling hills to the East! It's also only a quarter-mile from the lakefront, which includes a boat launch and a picnic area available only to residents of the community and their guests.  If you're looking to build here, the soil is rocky at the surface, but turns to clay loam and sandy clay loam below the 2" top soil. These are widely considered among the best types of soil for construction, making this site less expensive to develop. Additionally, there is a significant slope running Northwest to South-Southeast through the middle of this lot, providing a great site for an earth-berm home, or simply a standard home with an easy walkout basement facing the mountain views to the west. This slope also provides a natural shield against north winds while being open to the South and West for warm air and beautiful sunsets. The lower elevation to the West is a prime site for a well and includes a seasonal creek that will draw wildlife to your front yard in the early spring. The plateau on the East half is a great place for a pavilion with an outdoor kitchen or a firepit for evenings watching the sunset and nights watching the stars. Speaking of stars, being away from any towns or cities, stargazers will have the best views in the country here, with minimal light pollution and the only tree-cover being what you add.  If you're looking for a regular vacation spot, the HOA allows you to park an RV on the land for up to 3 months at a time and up to 6 months of the year total, and with a huge recreational lake just down the road, a ski resort half an hour away, and Medicine Bow National forest nearby, the recreational potential is endless. The land is full of wildlife to watch and enjoy, the weather is mild most of the year, and while the winters are longer, Sheep Mountain protects the area from most of the stronger storms and snowfalls, while providing a beautiful place for hiking year round. An absolute nirvana for nature lovers. As a bonus, the local association has rules in place to help keep Wild Horse Ranch a beautiful, escape from big cities, bustling roads, and never-ending road construction.  So, why hesitate? You won't find a better value in a better place. Get your slice of paradise!
