Region & Climate
Buffalo, Wyoming, located at the base of the Bighorn Mountains, offers a unique mix of open plains and rugged mountain terrain. The local area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with hiking, fishing, hunting, and camping opportunities in the nearby Cloud Peak Wilderness. The town experiences a semi-arid climate with warm, dry summers and cold, snowy winters, averaging around 12-15 inches of annual precipitation.

Visitors and locals alike enjoy year-round activities, from summer hiking to winter snowmobiling and skiing.
History
Buffalo, Wyoming, has a rich history rooted in the American West, shaped by its location along the historic Bozeman Trail and its proximity to Native American tribes such as the Cheyenne and Sioux. Established in the late 1800s, Buffalo served as a key stop for travelers and soldiers during westward expansion and was central to the cattle ranching boom that followed. The town played a notable role in the infamous Johnson County War of 1892, a violent conflict between large cattle barons and smaller settlers over land and livestock rights. This conflict epitomized the tensions between wealthy ranchers and homesteaders, which have become a defining story of the Old West. Today, Buffalo preserves its rich heritage through its historic downtown, featuring landmarks like the Occidental Hotel, which hosted famous figures such as Butch Cassidy and Teddy Roosevelt, and local museums that celebrate the town's role in frontier history.
The Bighorn Mountains have a deep and varied history, shaped by both natural forces and human activity over millennia. These mountains, which stretch across north-central Wyoming and southern Montana, have been home to Native American tribes such as the Crow, Cheyenne, and Sioux for thousands of years. The Bighorns were central to their culture, serving as sacred hunting grounds and spiritual sites, evidenced by petroglyphs and ancient archaeological remains. European exploration of the region began in the early 1800s, with fur trappers and mountain men navigating its rugged terrain. By the late 19th century, the Bighorns became a backdrop for westward expansion and were frequently traveled during conflicts between Native tribes and the U.S. government, including military expeditions like those of General George Crook during the Indian Wars. The mountains later became a resource for settlers and ranchers who grazed livestock in the area, and in 1897, the Bighorn National Forest was established to preserve the natural beauty and resources of the region. Today, the Bighorns remain a symbol of Wyoming's wild frontier heritage, attracting outdoor enthusiasts and those interested in its rich cultural history.

Johnson County - Buffalo, WY
This unique offering consists of a deep aquifer artesian water source and a private land holding, the gold and silver of modern times. The well, drilled to a depth of 3,809 feet into the Madison aquifer, provides 1,200 gallons per minute of artesian, spring-quality water. The land, situated in one of the most private locations in the area, combines access and seclusion and is nestled along the North Fork of Crazy Woman Creek. The combination provides the opportunity for the development of a commercial water bottling business, municipal use, commercial energy use, or perhaps a buy-and-hold investment in hard-to-find assets.
The Madison Limestone Formation is a 600-foot-thick limestone/dolomite known to contain good quality and quantity of water. In the northeast region of Wyoming, this formation is believed to be charged with water from the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming and the Black Hills of South Dakota due to the upthrust and surface exposure of the Madison Formation. These Madison exposures at high mountain elevations can create high artesian pressures in the foothills and basins where the formations are deeply buried.
Drilled to a depth of 3,809 feet, the well is rated at 1,200 gallons per minute of artesian flow, with approximately 300 psi of pressure at the surface. The well penetrates 567 feet of the Madison Limestone Formation. The well has been analyzed and rigorously tested for consistency of quality and quantity of flow. Engineering reports and analyses can be provided to qualified buyers.

Johnson County - Sussex Road, Kaycee, WY

Of course, there are also occasional coyotes, bobcats, lions, black bears, and many other species, including songbirds.

The improvements on this ranch are simple, yet nice and well-kept. They are located in a convenient place on the ranch for ranch operations and they are easily accessible from Sussex Road.
Brokers Comments
The strong demand for land that has live water with associated water rights, abundant wildlife, viable agricultural production, beautiful views, and convenient access to a nearby town is growing. But in particular, owning land with water rights in Wyoming can hold significant importance and provide various benefits. Wyoming has a substantial agricultural sector, and water rights are crucial for irrigation. In addition to wildlife benefits, owning land like the Koch Ranch with water rights allows you to grow crops, raise livestock, or engage in other agricultural activities that require water, thus enhancing productivity and potentially generating income. Historically, the Koch Ranch is capable of producing up to 5 tons of hay per acre per season. Hay prices are subject to market fluctuations, but in the last few years, prices have been well above $200 per ton. And of course, land with live and water rights also tends to hold higher value than similar properties without water. In Wyoming, water rights are owned and regulated by the state. This system makes it very difficult to separate the water from the land, thus ensuring more landowner protections and rights. We would encourage any investment-minded buyer, who also enjoys hunting and recreation to take a close look at the Powder River Hay & Hunting Ranch.
Its important to note that water rights can be complex, and the specifics may vary depending on Wyomings water laws and local regulations. Consulting with legal professionals or water rights experts in Wyoming is advised.
