About this property
You could spend a fortune trying to engineer the wildlife habitat and natural beauty this property already has. Bighorn Wetlands Sanctuary doesn't need it. These 35+/- acres are largely untouched and perfectly natural in every way. Tucked along the Bighorn River corridor just north of Thermopolis, Wyoming, this diverse parcel sits in one of the most scenic river valleys in the Intermountain West. It is a landscape defined by native wetlands, ponds, and riparian cover that create a true sanctuary for migratory waterfowl, white-tailed and mule deer, and wildlife throughout the seasons. This unique property offers multiple potential homesites; all are elevated above the riparian area, with open views across the water and out to the surrounding mesa and canyon country. Backed by senior, direct-flow irrigation water rights, this ground can just as easily support a small farm as it can a home. Bighorn Wetland Sanctuary is a blank canvas, whether the vision is a forever home, a recreational retreat, a hobby farm, or a conservation holding. Recreation & Wildlife Bighorn Wetlands Sanctuary is a genuine destination for waterfowl hunting, with ducks and geese working the wetlands and ponds in season. White-tailed and mule deer move through the riparian cover at dawn and dusk, offering hunting and wildlife viewing right from the homesite. For photographers, birders, or anyone who simply values quiet mornings in wild country, this ground delivers that in full. In addition, this land benefits directly from its proximity to the Bighorn River corridor, even without frontage of its own. Surrounding irrigated farm ground adds another layer of benefit, offering standing forage that draws and holds wildlife on the property throughout the season. Local Amenities Thermopolis sits just minutes away, offering full community services, the Hot Springs County Airport (THP) with a 7,000-foot paved runway for private aviation access, the Legion Town & Country Club golf course, and Hot Springs State Park - home to the world's largest mineral hot springs. Wind River Canyon and extensive public land access are within easy reach, rounding out a recreational lifestyle that's genuinely difficult to replicate. The Opportunity Habitat this untouched, paired with an ideal homesite, and senior water rights, simply doesn't come on the market often, and when it does, it rarely comes at this price. Bighorn Wetlands Sanctuary represents an accessible entry point into a river corridor that is only growing in demand. Conservation buyers, recreational landowners, and patient investors should all put this land at the top of their list! Shown by appointment only, no driving by the property without permission! A neighbor's use of approximately five acres of the property for farming and irrigation is allowed solely by the owner's revocable permission, as a neighborly accommodation, and grants no ownership, possessory, prescriptive, or adverse rights.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
