4 INTRODUCTION The highly coveted Bighorn Mountain foothills have been home to some of the West s most beautiful and private ranches. Perhaps not as acclaimed as more high profile areas, the Sheridan Area and its ranches have just been more secretly enjoyed for 140 years. This slice of Heaven, where the Plains Indians held their last stand- for good reason- has some of the most abundant wildlife and scenic resources you ll find anywhere. Combine those resources with the overall genuine friendliness and you have an ambiance that graces the area and causes those who live here to hold their land for lengthy periods of time. As such, it s hard to find ranches like the Beaver Creek Ranch, since they do not come on the market very often. Beaver Creek Ranch truly provides a rare opportunity to own and operate a beautiful and highly productive property within a short drive from the immediate lifestyle amenities that Sheridan and the Sheridan Lifestyle offer. The Sheridan area is synonymous with high quality of life. The Beaver Creek Ranch is a very well cared for, end of the road property with dramatic panoramic views and superb privacy. The ranch is located on a school bus route for the excellent Sheridan County School District #2, which is acclaimed as the top school district in Wyoming and among the top districts in the nation. Sheridan County schools excel in academics, athletics and extracurricular activities, despite competing against larger schools across the state. Wyoming is consistently ranked as one of the most favorable states relative to tax climate. With no personal or corporate state income tax, no capital gains taxes and relatively low property and sales taxes, Wyoming is a desirable place to live and own a business. 4

6 LOCATION/LOCALE The Beaver Creek Ranch is located about half way between Billings, MT and Casper, WY and just 12 miles, or about 15 minutes from downtown Sheridan, WY in the heart of the Beaver Creek drainage in the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains, just a few miles from where it enters Big Goose Creek on its way to the Tongue River. This watershed is, of course, part of the great land where the rivers run north that has been so coveted for over 140 years of ranching, but even prior to that when it was inhabited by the Plains Indians. The soils and the grasses have always provided excellent feed for the livestock and wildlife, but additionally, it s the overall combination of water, soils and climate that has made this area such a great place to live. The charming community of Sheridan, WY has most amenities and conveniences, including jet service and a commercial airport as well as world-class golf, dining, medical facilities, first-rate schools (rated among the best in the nation) and shopping in Sheridan s historic downtown. For further shopping and air service, one can find it in Billings, or Casper, each about two hours away. Furthermore, the Bighorn Mountains are only 30 minutes to the west, where you ll find all the outdoor recreation you can imagine. ACCESS From downtown Sheridan, WY, you can gain access to the ranch by driving 6 miles on State HWY 331 (Big Goose Road)- a paved highway, to Beaver Creek Road (Sheridan County Rd 87- a very good all-weather gravel road for approximately 5.7 miles where you ll arrive at the entrance to the ranch. CLIMATE The climate around the Sheridan area is one of the most live-able climates in Wyoming with pleasant summers and moderate winters. Perhaps it s the proximity to the 45th parallel along with the positioning next to the Big Horn Mountains and the lower altitude, but the Bighorn Mountain foothills have always been one of the most desirable places to live for those who have experienced it. Whatever the reason, it s hard to argue that this area doesn t have the greenest and most pleasant climates. 6

8 WATER In the West, and especially in Wyoming, water is the life blood of the land and living. Beaver Creek Ranch has been blessed with abundant water in many forms.

12 THE LAND Deeded: 1,946± acres 270± acres irrigated WATER AND WATER RIGHTS Beaver Creek, and Apple Run, both year-round creeks, flow through the ranch. The creeks and the Big Goose-Beaver Ditch provide the valuable water rights and water for the ranch. There are six significant ponds on the property that provide plenty of water and habitat for wildlife. WILDLIFE AND RECREATION The current owner has had conservation and habitat improvement as the primary management focus for the ranch while raising purebred Angus cows, harvesting only one cutting of grass hay each season and leaving the second growth for bird cover and other wildlife habitat. Cross fencing allows for controlled and time managed grazing, which benefits the health of the soil and the wildlife. Riparian corridors are teaming with abundant wildlife. While conservation has been the focus, falconry, rifle and bow hunting have yielded some amazing trophy hunts. * Please contact Chase Brothers Properties, LLC for detailed water rights information.
