Recluse Ranch

Land Description

Located in the Powder River Breaks of northeast Wyoming, the Recluse Ranch consists of 3,600 +/- deeded acres of exceptional timbered ridges, rolling hills, protected draws, grassy meadows and native and improved hay ground. The living and operating improvements are located immediately off of Bitter Creek Road, a maintained gravel county road, just 10 minutes north of Recluse and 45 minutes north of Gillette, providing excellent year-round access. The 425 +/- acres of dryland hay meadows surround the improvements along Bitter Creek. The bulk of the deeded land is located to the west of the improvements and grows in elevation from 3,700 feet at the headquarters to 4,100 feet on the west end of the ranch. The sporadic to densely covered timbered grazing land is easily accessible via miles of improved interior roads and provides excellent protection for livestock and wildlife. In addition to Bitter Creek, which flows seasonally through the hay ground near the improvements, water on the ranch is supplied by reservoirs, springs, and stock tanks fed by wells and a pipeline system. This is an incredible opportunity to own a well-balanced livestock operation and exceptional hunting and recreation ranch.

The ranch is located just south of the Montana/Wyoming border and is situated in the Bitter Creek Valley in northeast Wyoming. The deeded acreage is easily accessed off of Bitter Creek Road north of Recluse and Gillette, Wyoming. The town of Gillette is located 50 miles south of the ranch and has a population of 32,000 and offers commercial air service, a community college, and a multitude of dining and entertainment options. The towns of Sheridan and Buffalo and access to the Bighorn Mountains are only a short drive from the ranch on Highway 14/16.
