Atop the ridge overlooking the Beaver Creek Valley
sits the finest recreational and vacation home properties in all
of Western Wyoming. Opportunity awaits those who have a vision of
wide-open space, clean fresh air, and views that will take your
breath away. Some properties have already been developed.
SIZE AND DESCRIPTION:
Aspen Ridge is an exceptionally beautiful piece of property with
mountain vistas in every direction. The lush mountain grass, shady
aspen groves, and clear blue water are a few of the amenities, which
make these 35 acre recreational parcels so appealing.
LOCATION:
The property lies at the western skirts of Sublette County and
is nestled near the foot of the Wyoming Mountain Range. It is also
ajoined to thousands of acres of BLM land. Locals describe the property
as Beaver Rim because it overlooks the vast Beaver Creek Valley
down below. The property is only 2 miles from direct Forest Service
access and is adjacent on two sides by thousands of acres of public
land. The local community of Pinedale is 28 miles to the East and
the larger resort community of Jackson Hole sits only 83 miles to
the north.
WILDLIFE:
Numerous species of both big and small game can be found on Aspen
Ridge with waterfowl and upland game birds also frequenting the
property because of the excellent habitat. The majestic Pronghorn
are king of the ridge and come in great numbers to spend the summers
on the property. Deer, moose and elk can also be found using the
Aspen groves for cover from summer heat or winter storms.
ACTIVITIES:
Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Aspen Ridge provides
activities for a variety of interests.
The winter season lays tracks to untouched powder out the front
gate into the peaks of the Wyoming Range. Other winter activities
include snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and dog sledding. The
property is also in a prime location for easy access to the popular
downhill ski slopes of Jackson Hole of the local resort area known
as White Pine. In addition, snowmobile enthusiasts will never find
a dull moment whether it is the miles of groomed trails or the thrill
of open powder basins and steep mountain peaks waiting to be conquered.
Summer brings on the excitement of the fishing season, of which
Western Wyoming and the Green River drainage are world famous. Colorado
Cutthroat, Rainbows, Brook trout, Lake Trout, German Browns and
the exalted Golden Trout can all be found within close proximity
to Aspen Ridge. Throw in the Arctic Grayling and you have a list
of fish that any avid fly fisherman would love to spend a summer
tantalizing. There exists one reservoir on tract 15 and the potential
for numerous other ponds that could be developed as private fisheries
on multiple individual lots.
Fall offers the thrill of fantastic hunting opportunities for Trophy
Elk, Mule Deer, Shiras Moose, Big Horn Sheep and Pronghorn. Whether
you hunt with a camera or rifle you will not want to miss out on
the opportunity that this location has to offer.
SUMMARY:
Whether it is a view of the Grand Tetons on the horizon that you
seek or the sound of the breeze sifting through the aspen leaves,
you have found the perfect place. Enjoy good country living at its
finest in the secluded setting of Aspen Ridge.
Wyoming! It's past is rich with history of Native Americans,
mountain men, outlaws and ranchers.
In the early to mid-1800's, the height of the fur trapping and
trading era, western Wyoming was the home of the mountain men who
trapped for beaver. Although brief, this era was very colorful.
The annual highlight was the fur trade Rendezvous, in which fur
company representatives brought supplies to trappers and Native
Americans. During Rendezvous, old friends and rivals met to exchange
stories, barter for whiskey and supplies, and trade pelts for provisions.
Six of the 16 Rendezvous were held just across Beaver Ridge from
this property along Horse Creek and the Green River. Much of this
history can be seen on the Museum of the Mountain Man located in
nearby Pinedale.
Old Fort Bonneville, built in 1833, was located less than 20 miles
away over the ridge. Today all that remains is a historical sign
to mark the site. Butch Cassidy is known to have been in this area
in the early days of his horse rustling career.
Today, the area surrounding this property is used for cattle ranching
and recreation. The local communities have maintained their old
west spirit and take much pride in the history of the area. Every
summer the Green River Rendezvous is reenacted on the second week
in July and is definitely an event you do not want to miss.
