The property encompasses approximately 531.76 deeded acres of gently rolling terrain with a mix of native range and productive dryland hay fields. A seasonal creek meanders through the ranch, bordered by pockets of trees and brush that provide excellent wildlife cover. There’s also a natural spring-fed reservoir that typically holds water year-round, adding a reliable water source for livestock and game. The blend of open pasture, sheltered draws, and native vegetation supports both ag use and strong wildlife presence, including deer, antelope, and upland birds.

Improvements

The ranch headquarters includes a modest, well-kept home built in 1968, offering approximately 2,000+/- square feet of living space with five bedrooms (including two non-conforming), a full basement, and a screened-in back porch that overlooks the ranch.

Outbuildings include a 3,000 sq ft equipment shop with concrete flooring, power, and a functional workshop area, as well as a 1,200 sq ft Quonset for additional storage. A clean, well-maintained barn features open bays, a tack room, power, and water, and is easily convertible to livestock or horse stalls. Corrals with water hookups are attached.

There are also several smaller structures across the property, including three loafing sheds (approximately 200 sq ft each), a chicken coop, and additional utility outbuildings.

A large metal building,formerly used as a methane compressor site, sits on the backside of the property. Though currently without power, the structure remains in excellent condition and could be reconnected or relocated closer to the ranch headquarters for future use.

Four exterior electrical hook-ups are available for plugging in trucks or tractors during the winter months.

Recreation

Wildcat Creek Hay & Hunt offers excellent recreational opportunities, with consistent mule deer, whitetail, and antelope activity throughout the property. The seasonal creek bottom, tree cover, and nearby hay fields create natural travel corridors and bedding areas for game. Upland birds and varmints are also common, and the area supports healthy populations of coyote and fox. While not a primary elk zone, the occasional elk may pass through during migration. Whether you’re a hunter or simply enjoy the presence of wildlife on your land, this ranch offers year-round outdoor interest and opportunity.

Agriculture

The property has historically supported cattle operations and continues to offer solid agricultural potential. Approximately 200 acres are in established dryland hay production, providing a dependable annual crop for feed or sale. The remaining acreage consists of native rangeland suitable for seasonal grazing. While exact carrying capacity may vary with management and weather, the layout and infrastructure support continued use for haying, cattle, or a combination of both.
