The combination of the foothills, the meadows, and the upper Baker Creek Valley from this vantage point is extremely appealing. One is aware of virtually no habitation between the house and the mountains because of the way it is sited. The site is very private and oriented toward the Bighorns, which spread out almost 180 degrees to the west and south. The house is situated below the privacy ridge overlooking a beautiful four-acre lake. As one loops around the driveway to the parking area, to the west is the Baker Springs Valley and to the east is a natural seeded grassy hill providing privacy from neighboring landowners. After you have reached the top of the hill, the main home appears in the foreground with the impressive views of the Bighorns towering behind it.
After crossing the bridge, one takes the eastern fork to drive straight up the hill leading to the ranch’s overpass entrance. The access road parallels the easter boundary of the neighboring ranch and almost immediately crosses a private steel bridge above Big Goose Creek. The ranch is accessed off paved Route 331 just off the northeast corner of the property through a security gate. The nighttime offers an impressive show of stars just far enough from town to not be affected by light pollution, nor does one hear the inevitable noise from the city and its immediate environs. This rare offering lies just far enough from the Bighorn Mountains to command a truly impressive 180-degree sweep of the Bighorn Front and lots of daylight during the winter months. This well-improved ranch also has a four-bay heated shop newly constructed in 2019. The ranch is blessed with some of the earliest water rights on Big Goose Creek and roughly 40 acres are subject to irrigation. The westerly views from the 3,100 square foot main home combine the Bighorn Mountains dominating the horizon with the private Baker Springs Reservoir in the foreground only visible to the Baker Springs Ranch. This small lake is stocked with largemouth bass, and brown and rainbow trout. The home overlooks a four-acre pond fed by Baker Creek, a tributary of Big Goose Creek, into which it flows just a quarter mile north of the property boundary. The Baker Springs Ranch is a 165± acre private retreat or estate with superior improvements and dramatic Bighorn Mountain views located only eight miles from downtown Sheridan.
