Description
Located between Laramie and Cheyenne, this 62.5-acre property offers a combination of open grassland, county road access, existing power, and proximity to public recreational areas. The property is situated approximately five minutes from Interstate 80, providing convenient access to both communities and the surrounding area.
The property consists primarily of rolling grassland with mountain views in multiple directions. County road frontage is located along the west and south sides of the property, providing established access along two boundaries. Power is already available at the property, an important existing utility feature for evaluating potential future uses.
A notable feature of the property is its location adjacent to the Ames Monument, which sits on public land near the southwest corner. The monument commemorates the Ames brothers and is a recognized historic site along the former route of the Union Pacific Railroad. Its proximity provides a distinctive point of interest near the property while also placing this acreage near a larger area of public land.
Approximately five minutes north of the property is the Pole Mountain area, which is part of the Medicine Bow National Forest. This area provides access to public lands with established camping areas, hiking trails, and other outdoor recreation opportunities. The close proximity to the national forest expands the recreational setting surrounding the property, while the subject acreage remains privately owned.
Crystal Lake and Granite Springs Reservoir are approximately 20 minutes northeast of the property. These nearby recreation areas provide opportunities for outdoor activities associated with the reservoirs and surrounding public lands. The combination of nearby national forest, reservoirs, and public land creates a broad recreational setting within a relatively short drive of the property.
The location between Laramie and Cheyenne also provides access to services, employment centers, schools, shopping, and other amenities in both communities while retaining a rural setting. Interstate 80 is approximately five minutes away, making regional travel more accessible.
The acreage may be considered for a variety of agricultural, recreational, or rural property uses, subject to applicable county regulations, zoning, access requirements, utility availability, and other local restrictions. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding development potential, water availability, septic requirements, building regulations, easements, covenants, and any other property-specific considerations.
With 62.5 acres of rolling grassland, county road frontage on two sides, power at the property, and proximity to Ames Monument, Pole Mountain, Medicine Bow National Forest, Crystal Lake, and Granite Springs Reservoir, this property offers a combination of private acreage and nearby public recreation. Its position approximately midway between Laramie and Cheyenne provides access to both communities while maintaining a rural setting.
