Three peaks ranch by Compass Land and Ranch

Three Peaks Ranch MERNA, WY

PROPERTY LOCATION + DESCRIPTION

It is remarkable that only about an hour and a quarter from the Town Square in Jackson Hole, there is a beau>ful log home, where from the big windows or the wrap around porches, one can see across 100 hundred mile mountain landscapes, the three tallest peaks in Wyoming: GanneE Peak 13,809’ The Grand Teton 13,776’ & Fremont Peak 13,743’ These inspiring views and soaring mountains are the heart and soul of the incomparable Three Peaks Ranch. The 3,240 sf home was carefully constructed by master log craSers using massive logs and nestled against the mys>cal Wyoming Range in a grove of aspen trees, with two fishing ponds in the foreground stocked with rainbow and cuEhroat trout. The third fishing pond near Dry Beaver Creek is part of the Upper Green River riparian area and has been maintained by Wyoming Game and Fish as a Colorado CuEhroat Trout fishery.

PROPERTY LOCATION + DESCRIPTION

The hand craSed log home is set on 640 acres of lush meadow grasses that can carry a leased heard of 225 yearlings during summer months, providing an agricultural income stream and tax base to the land owner. Adjacent to the Bridger Teton Na>onal Forest and about six miles from the headwaters of Beaver Creek and the Wilderness areas of the Wyoming Range, Three Peaks Ranch oďŹ&#x20AC;ers world class trophy hun>ng, recrea>onal snowmobiling, cross country skiing, ATV and horse pack trips. Year round access is possible as the home is located about a quarter mile oďŹ&#x20AC; the county maintained and plowed Merna BuEe - Beaver Rim Road.

While the cowboy and mountain man towns of Daniel and Pinedale are a short drive from the ranch, the Three Peaks Ranch is geographically located on the forks of the Beaver Creeks, which drain into the famed Upper Green River of SubleEe County. All within an hour from the ranch, these cold mountain live waters, offer trophy fishing on the Green River, New Fork River, Hoback River, New Fork Lake, Fremont Lake and Half-Moon Lake, to name just a few of the incredibly beau>ful and extraordinarily produc>ve fisheries. In fact, there are more glaciers and glacier fed lakes in the nearby Wind River Range than in any other place in the lower 48 states. Hun$ng: Importantly, it is of great value to a hunter that the loca>on and size of the property will allow the owner and immediate family to make annual applica>on to the local game warden for land owner hun>ng licenses. Depending on the annual carry capacity of the ranch and loca>on of game, the regula>ons of the Wyoming Game & Fish Department allow even nonresident land owners to receive hun>ng licenses for elk, mule deer and antelope, without the hassle of license filing deadlines or drawings.

PROPERTY LOCATION + DESCRIPTION

Abundant wildlife, water fowl and raptors frequent the ranch: Moose, Mule Deer, Antelope, Elk, Sandhill Cranes, Canadian Geese, Bald Eagles, Osprey, Hawks, Sage Grouse, Owls, Ducks and Coyotes are common sights. The occasional Griz or Gray Wolf meander through this remote wild mountain country.

The Three Peaks Ranch is about an hour south of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the southern gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone Na>onal Parks as displayed on the Vicinity Map. The area oďŹ&#x20AC;ers uncompromised beauty and is part of the Bridger Teton Na>onal Forest, represen>ng almost 20 million acres of pris>ne forests, mountains, rivers and streams all part of the Greater Yellowstone Region. Jim Bridger and Bill SubleEe from whom the county and forest derive their names, were mountain men and part of the fur trapping brigade that included Hugh Glass. Their names were made famous for their part in leaving old Hugh to die aSer he was mauled by a Grizzly, as portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the recent movie Revenant.

L O C AT I O N & H I S TO RY

The drive from Jackson Hole to Three Peaks Ranch is on highway 89, one of the most beau>ful and historic drives in the na>on, traversing through the Hoback River Canyon, through LiEle Jackson’s Hole (Bondurant) and rising up and over The Rim. The Rim divides the big river drainages: Snake River to the Columbia and the Pacific; Green River to the Colorado and the Sea of Cortez. Here in 1812, John Hoback for whom the river is named, was killed by Indians while trapping beaver. He was a member of The Astorian fur trading company who explored the area during their 1811-12 cross country trek to Astoria on the Pacific. This was only the second Rocky Mountain explora>on aSer Lewis and Clark in 1805-1806. The ranch is located west of and between the Astorian’s Camp and Upper Green River Rendezvous Sites on the above map. At The Rim at eleva>ons of about 6,500’ to 13,800’ one discovers the astonishingly beau>ful Upper Green River Valley of SubleEe County, Wyoming, offering stunning 100 mile views of the Wyoming, Gros Ventre and Wind River Mountain ranges. Merna BuEe and Beaver Rim Road are located west of The Rim about 20 miles. Here homesteaders in the 1890s, u>lized the hardy grass along the river and creeks that gave caEle a chance to compete for survival with the abundant wildlife: elk, deer, pronghorn and moose, under the watchful eyes of eagles, hawks and the occasional wolf and Grizzly Bear.

This part of SubleEe County is the heart of Mountain Man Country. The Green River Rendezvous was an annual event during 1820-1840. Mountain Men, Trappers, Travelers and Indians all gathered in the valley near the ranch and bartered, traded, sold, and swapped various items such as skins, pelts, guns, jewelry and whatever else they needed. All knew the place where the forks of the Beaver and Horse Creeks ďŹ&#x201A;owed into the Green in the Upper Green River Valley and the source of these beaver ďŹ lled streams in the Wyoming Range near the Three Peaks Ranch. The historic rendezvouses lasted anywhere from a few days to several months and were a >me for geong new supplies, renewing acquaintances with old friends, story swapping, drinking and general rowdiness.

L O C AT I O N & H I S TO RY Cowboys and caElemen are also part of the rich history of the Upper Green River Valley. The aura of the Old West is palpable as The Green River DriS and The Mountain Man Rendezvous con>nue to this day. The Green River DriS caEle trail has been con>nuously used since the 1890s by the Upper Green River CaEle Associa>on. These caElemen drive their caEle or let them driS, from spring pasture on the county southern desert area to summer northern pastures in the Forest. Chilly fall weather causes the caEle to “driS” back out of the forest to return to their home ranches. The trail, 58 miles long with 41 miles of spurs, crosses BLM, State of Wyoming, Na>onal Forest, and private proper>es. It has played a pivotal role in the development of ranching in the area. “The DriS” was listed on the Na>onal Register in November, 2013. Because it is s>ll being used much as it has for more than 100 years, the DriS was listed as a Tradi>onal Cultural Property (TCP), the ﬁrst ranching related TCP in the na>on. On the Horse Creek road to the Three Peaks Ranch, it is not uncommon to get caught in a “Wyoming Traﬃc Jam” as horseback Cowboys push big herds of caEle along the shoulders of the road. The Mountain Man Rendezvous occurs annually in Pinedale during the second week of July.

SCENERY & OPEN SPACE ~ Protected by mountains on all s i d e s , J a c k s o n H o l e i s a n extraordinary refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life today. And, most people agree that there is no more beau>ful valley in the na>on, perhaps in the world. It is truly unique. Jackson Hole is part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and is adjacent to both Yellowstone and the Rockefeller family’s great giS to our na>on, Grand Teton Na>onal Park. This area comprises the largest intact ecosystem in the lower 48 states.

PROTECTION FROM OVER DEVELOPMENT ~ THE BEAUTY ~ Jackson Hole is a truly vibrant community surrounded by some of the most drama>c scenery in the world. Our rus>c yet refined lifestyle is defined not only by the stunning natural environment we live in, but also by a strong sense of community. We strive diligently to maintain our unique Western character through thoughkul planning, careful land use and extensive charitable giving. There are numerous reasons why those who live in Wyoming have chosen to have their primary residences here. Some are emo>onal, such as the sheer beauty of the natural surroundings and the overall quality of life. Others are more prac>cal in scope and include Wyoming’s overall tax-climate benefits.

Unlike many Rocky Mountain resorts, Jackson Hole will remain pris>ne and uncluEered due to the fact that 97% of the valley is Na>onal Forest, Na>onal Park, or other public land.

There are numerous reasons why those who live in Jackson Hole have chosen to have their primary residences here. Some of those reasons are emo>onal, such as the sheer beauty of the natural surroundings and the overall quality of life. Other reasons are more prac>cal in scope and include Wyoming’s overall tax-climate beneﬁts. For years, Bloomberg has rated Wyoming as the most taxfriendly state in the U.S.

Here’s Why… §  No personal or corporate state income tax. §  Shield your real estate from federal estate taxes for up to 1,000 years through a dynasty trust. A key point to remember is that the trust must be administered in Wyoming. §  No inheritance tax or estate tax. Wyoming repealed its estate tax as of Jan 1, 2005. §  No state giS tax. You can ‘giS’ your real estate to your heirs without paying a tax. §  No tax on out-of-state re>rement income. §  Low property taxes compared to other states. §  No excise taxes. When you ﬁll up your car’s gas tank or buy a bag of groceries in Wyoming, you won’t pay any state tax on your gas or food. §  No intangible taxes on ﬁnancial assets like stocks and bonds. §  No tax on the sale of real estate. §  No tax on mineral ownership.
