Homestead Draw RanchD U B O I S , W Y O M I N GIntroduction
Homestead Draw Ranch comprises 294.86 deeded acres in the
foothills of the mighty Wind River Mountains just 6 miles west
of the charming and friendly western town of Dubois, Wyoming and a
50 min drive from Jackson Hole through National Forest. The acreage
consists primarily of rolling, native sagebrush/grassland, though a
portion is dedicated to an irrigated meadow with Wind River water rights
currently used to produce quality horse hay. The property also includes
an aspen grove with year-round spring, and a forested mountainside. The
topography, though gentle, affords spectacular views of the Absaroka
Mountains—including Ramshorn Peak, a signature feature of the Dubois
area—as well as the dramatic Dubois Badlands.
Improvements include a tastefully designed, beautifully constructed,
energy-efficient 1,944sqft, 3 bedroom + loft, 2.5 bath home with large
decks and mature landscaping; an oversized 2-car detached garage; a
688sqft 2 bedroom guest cabin; a 1,024sqft horse barn with indoor and
outdoor water supply and tack-up areas, a sealed tack room, attached
paddocks, round corral, loafing sheds for horses; and large fenced
pastures. All of the improvements were constructed between 2002 and
2006.
There is convenient year round access to the ranch. The property borders
both Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and National Forest property,
enabling direct access to miles of hiking/riding trails and millions of acres
of public lands, including the vast Bridger-Teton and Shoshone National
Forests. The Wind River may be accessed through BLM land within
a few hundred feet of the property. There are countless trout fishing
opportunities nearby including mountain lakes, pristine streams, and
many sites along the legendary Wind River.

Located in Fremont County,
Wyoming, Homestead Draw
Ranch is just 6 miles west
of the authentic Western
town of Dubois, at the end
of a ±1-mile private road off
of Highway 26—the main

and Grand Teton National Parks and to Jackson
Hole. Its location adjacent to the Shoshone National
Forest gives this property a backyard of ±2.4 million
acres of contiguous national forest land available for
exploration and recreation.

TThough Dubois has only 1,000 permanent residents, it offers many amenities found in larger communities, including a supermarket and drugstore, museums, several restaurants, numerous shops, hunting and fishing guide services, a public swimming pool, a library, and a nine‐hole golf course. In the summer, there are a variety of public events, including a rodeo and chuckwagon dinner every Friday evening. The Wind River runs right through town, and there are spectacular mountain views in every direction. Due to its archetypal Western beauty, the area
has been chosen through the years as a location for a number of commercials and Hollywood films. American Cowboy Magazine named Dubois one of the “Best Rural Towns of 2012.” The article stated, “These ranch communities embody the big country we love. Remote and surrounded by beautiful range land and wilderness, small towns form our nation’s heart. Whether you already live in a place like this—or want to—we—honor and celebrate American community values. These are the doorways to the Cowboy Way.
Area
Dubois is an authentic Old West mountain town, with historic buildings, wooden sidewalks, and a real cowboy culture.

The Upper Wind River is a free-flowing natural river dominated by cutthroat trout. As the river meanders down the
valley, rainbow and brown trout populations increase, giving anglers the chance to land all three species in one
day. Public fishing access points up and down the river offer some of the best fishing near the town of Dubois.
A tract of BLM land directly adjacent to Homestead Draw Ranch at the NNW corner provides a particularly
convenient access to the Wind River, and the many tributaries of the Wind River also offer excellent fishing. For
example, a trail from the ranch house leads directly into spectacular Warm Springs Canyon and to quiet, pristine
fishing spots on Warm Springs Creek.
In addition to the amazing fisheries close to the property, there are endless angling destinations and opportunities
within a short drive from the ranch. These include the Buffalo Fork, the Snake River, and an abundance of streams
and rivers in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. There are 626 lakes and reservoirs and 2,057 miles
of streams that comprise the fishing waters of the Wind River Country. These include pristine mountain streams
rushing beneath towering granite spires, crystal clear lakes, and wide rivers twisting through stunning canyons.

Improvements
Nestled in a sheltered site just below the forest is the main home of 1,944sqft, with 3-bedrooms, 2.5-baths, large decks, and mature landscaping.
Being of newer construction, the home is highly energy efficient and features both forced-air heat and an auxiliary wood-burning heat stove. The master bedroom is of an en-suite design, enabling ample privacy for the owners, even while having a full complement of guests. The home has a 768sqft detached garage, oversized to allow for equipment storage or for workshop or craft facilities. Nearby is a 1,024sqft horse barn with indoor and outdoor tack-up areas, a sealed tack room, an attached paddock, indoor and outdoor water supply, a round corral, and a large fenced pasture. Along the spring creek is a 688sqft, 2-bedroom guest cabin overlooking the hay field, and an additional large fenced pasture with a detached loafing shed for horses. All of the improvements were constructed between 2002 and 2006. There is one private water well each for the main house and the guest cabin. Water rights to the spring belong exclusively to the owners of the ranch.
The current owners irrigate ±10 acres of land at the base of the property to raise certified weed-free horse hay and for horse pasture. The irrigation water is pumped from the Wind River under permit from the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office. If desired, the irrigated acreage may be roughly doubled to the size of the area irrigated historically.
BBordered by public lands, there are
many game species present on
the ranch or nearby, including elk,
moose, mule deer, whitetail deer,
bighorn sheep, and pronghorn
antelope. In addition, mountain
lions, bears, wolves, and bobcats
may be found in the area. For
bird enthusiasts, this Wyoming
ranch provides plenty of viewing
opportunities for various types of
hawks, eagles, owls,
and songbirds.
Homestead Draw Ranch is an
ideally situated, easily accessible
home base for hunting. There
are a number of guide services
operating in the area for those new
to the geography. Wyoming Game
& Fish Department hunt areas are
as follows: *Elk: Hunt Area 68, a
general hunt area with a special
limited-quota season for archery.
*Deer: Hunt Area 128 provides
a short general hunt season and
several limited-quota seasons,
including a late-season permit that
allows an especially good chance
at a trophy mule deer. *Antelope:
Hunt area 84 has two limited-
quota seasons in September and
October. Landowner permits may
be available based on the size
of the property and its extensive
utilization by game animals.
Wildlife & Hunting The location of Homestead Draw Ranch is ideal for observing a wide range of wildlife.
A person could saddle up at the horse barn and travel the same trails once used by the “Mountain Man” explorers and trappers of the early 1800s.
Just west of the ranch, where the Wind River and Absaroka mountains meet, is Togwotee Pass. Predominantly National Forest, this area in winter offers tremendous snowmobiling and backcountry skiing opportunities. Just over the pass are Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, with their millions of pristine acres and several lifetimes’ worth of hiking, exploring, fishing, mountaineering, and
sightseeing opportunities. Just beyond Grand Teton Park are the Town of Jackson and Teton Village.
Together, these nearby areas provide many opportunities for hiking; biking; camping; rock-climbing; fishing and hunting; river rafting and kayaking; horseback riding; wildlife and
landscape photography; several excellent golf courses; backcountry and Nordic skiing; and, for the alpine skier, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort—recently voted #1 in the nation in a poll of skiers. The Jackson Hole Valley and the City of Jackson also provide tremendous opportunities for dining, shopping, entertainment, and cultural events.
Recreational Opportunities
Homestead Draw Ranch is a horse enthusiast’s dream. With direct access to the Shoshone National Forest and
BLM lands, there are literally thousands of miles of public trails and millions of
