The drive to Cold Springs Sanctuary is not only scenic but leads to a private property offering stunning 360-degree views of mountains, hills, and valleys.

WILDLIFE AND RECREATION
Cold Springs Sanctuary is near “Area 7” in Wyoming, a highly prestigious area in the Laramie Mountain range known for its trophy-caliber elk, though much of it is private land. It is a limited-quota, preference-point draw area. The area offers various hunting experiences, with opportunities for archery and rifle hunting. Beyond hunting, the region is rich with recreational possibilities including camping, hiking, 4-wheeling, and fishing—some of which can be enjoyed on the adjacent State of Wyoming public land that borders the property.
IMPROVEMENTS
The property improvements include a perimeter foundation and architectural blueprints for a 3,500 sq. ft. home, designed to capture southern exposures and stunning mountain and valley views. A high-capacity 22 GPM well with pump and water line has already been installed at the designated homesite, along with a gravel driveway for easy access. Utilities are fully in place, including underground electricity, two 5,000-gallon underground propane tanks (both filled), and a permitted septic system. Additionally, a 500-gallon fuel tank is on site. The homesite is private and secluded, surrounded by natural moss rock outcroppings, enhancing the beauty and versatility of this ready-to-develop acreage.
