Salt River Farm Freedom, Wyoming
Property Description Located at the foothills of Caribou Mountain Range is the Salt River Farm comprised of 198 (+/-) deeded acres including 6 entitled homesite lots. This recreational oasis encompasses over 1.5 (+/-) miles of fishable water on the famed Salt River running the length of the property. The numerous oxbows provide perfect honey holes to catch your trophy Wyoming trout. Build your dream home or productive working farm on this extraordinary piece of land. The property is surrounded with 360-degree panoramic, unobstructed vista views of Black Mountain to the west and Stewart Peak to the east. The Salt River Farm is situated in an ideal location – midway between the towns of Alpine and Thayne. Both Alpine and Thayne have a variety of one’s basic needs including grocery and hardware stores, restaurants, banks, coffee shops, and schools. The Palisades Reservoir is due North from the farm’s headquarters providing outdoor enthusiasts a multitude of opportunities: ice fishing, snowmobiling, water skiing, wake boarding, and more. The famous South Fork of the Snake River, as well as the beautiful Greys River, are both within a 15-minute drive, providing unlimited fishing opportunities. The legendary town of Jackson Hole is 47 miles North – providing a plethora of shops, restaurants, world-class skiing and many other recreational opportunities. www.LiveJacksonHole.com
The property is entitled for six separate residential parcels which could be developed as homesites or consolidated into a family compound. Most of these provide homesites that directly front Jackknife Creek or over-look the Salt River. Alternatively, the new owner could consider relinquishing some or all entitlements in exchange for possible tax benefits. A local land trust, recognizing the extraordinary vista of open landscape and agricultural heritage, elected to accept a conservation easement on the agricultural portion of the farm, allowing for preservation of the open space while still providing for multiple uses of the property. Currently the farmland portion is being used for alfalfa production as well as grazing for about 500 AUM’s.

Fishing & Hunting Opportunities With over 1.5 (+/-) miles of fishable water on the Salt River and Tin Cup Creek, (see next page), owners are graced with a healthy population of native cutthroats, brook, rainbow, and brown trout. The owner’s hydrologist, Gillilan Associates of Bozeman, MT, has performed research on the property to show the potential for adding river mileage on the east side of the Salt River (referred to as Silver Cup on next page). The Salt is one of the larger rivers in the state of Wyoming flowing out of the Salt River Range into Palisades Reservoir and has the highest catch rate per mile in Wyoming according to Wyoming Game and Fish. With the Palisades being downstream from the property, The Salt River Farm is the beneficiary of migrating brown trout moving through your property. The riparian passage on the property is rich in vegetation, lining the stream banks and creek bottoms. The owners purchased this property years ago as a worn-down dairy farm, converting it to a world-class recreational ranch appealing to the international fly-fishing market. In addition to excellent fishing on-site and nearby, The Salt River Farm also offers productive waterfowl hunting and wildlife observation opportunities. Its expansive sub-irrigated pastureland offers one existing trout and waterfowl pond where duck blinds could easily be installed. www.LiveJacksonHole.com

Location The Salt River Farm is in the picturesque mountainous area of Star Valley. For years, this area has been known as “Little Switzerland” for its scenic beauty and historical emphasis on dairy farms. With the extraordinary fly-fishing and hunting opportunities in this valley, Star Valley has become a highly desirable real estate investment for the recreational outdoorsman. The farm’s location within easy access to Jackson and several Star Valley townships, offers owners a tremendous variety of amenities such as several golf courses (including a Johnny Miller designed course), boating on the Palisades Reservoir in Alpine, and multiple biking trails in nearby Swan Valley, ID. Owners can also make a short drive to the northwest of the property to find trails leading to Black Mountain. These trails are incredible for horseback riding, biking, and hiking.
