Cody, Wyoming - $6,420,000 New Listing
The N Lazy S Ranch provides the opportunity to own a scenic, private, yet easily accessible, large property situated in its own valley along the eastern edge of the Beartooth Mountains. This property boasts dramatic views of the Clark’s Fork of the Yellowstone River canyon where it emerges from the wilderness. Additionally, the ranch is a crucial component in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, providing yearlong habitat and critical winter range for a large resident elk herd. The N Lazy S Ranch is not only a turnkey, fertile, well watered ranch, but it offers recreational opportunities ranging from 3± miles of privately accessed Clarks Fork River fishing via contiguous BLM land, reservoir fishing, big game and bird hunting, nearby skiing and access from the ranch to over a million acres of BLM and Shoshone National Forest land.
N Lazy S Ranch consists of approximately 3,200± acres of which these 1,070± deeded acres are accompanied by a BLM grazing allotment and a Wyoming State grazing lease. Of the deeded acreage, there are 365± irrigated acres and 134± subirrigated acres (per Park County Assessor’s Office).
There is easy access to 3± miles of minimally pressured Clark’s Fork River along the ranch’s northern border with its population of Yellowstone Cutthroats, Grayling, and Mountain White fish. This section gets a great salmon fly hatch right around May or June. This can make for incredible dry fly action. The river can surrender fish from 20-30 inches. This stretch of the Clark’s Fork river can be as awe inspiring as any on earth. Because of the limited access by the public it is a little known gem that contributes greatly to the recreational enjoyment of the ranch.
The area is very well known for trophy quality elk. The tag is highly coveted but more so the access to private grounds where these trophies call home. The resident herds occur largely on private ranches and venture onto the public lands occasionally. The area is primarily large ranch holdings which help to maintain the trophy quality by allowing for intensive management of the herds. The locals often comment how the deer and elk in this area often die of old age because the hunting pressure is very light
