Nine Mile Road, Buffalo, WY 82834 - Johnson County

Wyoming is blessed with many varieties of landscapes. Its where sagebrush grasslands meet the mountains. Much the same today as 100+ years ago, the Bighorn Mountain Range (the awesome Shining Mountains - what they were once called by settlers), as seen from the east in Powder River Country, tower above the plains in dramatic form. With the snow-capped peaks glistening with morning sunshine, today they are a welcome sight to behold, but in the past, they were an obstacle to westward travel. The bounty of the plains has long been known as one of the richest wildlife corridors in North America. Once an incredible corridor for migrating herds of bison, antelope, and elk, due to its incredibly important plant communities, it still holds numerous species of wildlife, and as always, offers the beautiful view of these Shining Mountains in the distance. Though the great migrating herds of bison are long gone, you'll still see Pronghorn antelope and many other wildlife species such as black-tailed prairie dogs, which are a significant keystone species of the Great Plains. Prairie dog towns play host to burrowing owls, badgers, bobcats, coyotes and foxes, but also eagles, hawks, owls and other raptors.

Just a short 35 minute drive south from the town of Buffalo, you will find this 320-acre property with rolling terrain and beautiful distant mountain views where the peaks will shine year-round. Located along the Bozeman Trail, the plains history of this area is endless. Here is your chance to own some of Wyoming's great history and an opportunity to build your dream home or simple summer getaway where you wont be bothered by neighbors. If you want elbow room with no covenants, and a place to live unencumbered, consider this wide-open property. From here, you'll see stars and the Milky Way like you've never seen them since there is zero light pollution. By the way, did you know that Wyoming's lack of light pollution makes it one of the very best places for stargazing? With scant light pollution, Wyoming is a Stargazing campers paradise- Mark Heinz (Cowboy State Daily, July 22, 2023). Additionally, you'll watch in wonderment as the Wyoming summer thunderstorms roll off the mountains giving you viewing pleasures you cant find on a TV.

The property borders 640 acres of state land and is located among many larger ranches giving you a great sense of the western way of life for which Wyoming is so well known. And if you like to get into the mountains for some recreation, there are millions of acres of National Forest and BLM lands just waiting to be discovered by you, and accessed in either the Red Wall Country south of Kaycee, or via Highway 16 west out of Buffalo.
