About this land

You could spend a fortune trying to engineer the wildlife habitat and natural beauty this property already has. Bighorn Wetlands Sanctuary doesn't need it. These 35+/- acres are largely untouched and perfectly natural in every way. Tucked along the Bighorn River corridor just north of Thermopolis, Wyoming, this diverse parcel sits in one of the most scenic river valleys in the Intermountain West. It is a landscape defined by native wetlands, ponds, and riparian cover that create a true sanctuary for migratory waterfowl, white-tailed and mule deer, and wildlife throughout the seasons. This unique property offers multiple potential homesites; all are elevated above the riparian area, with open views across the water and out to the surrounding mesa and canyon country. Backed by senior, direct-flow irrigation water rights, this ground can just as easily support a small farm as it can a home. Bighorn Wetland Sanctuary is a blank canvas, whether the vision is a forever home, a recreational retreat, a hobby farm, or a conservation holding. Recreation & Wildlife Bighorn Wetlands Sanctuary is a genuine destination for waterfowl hunting, with ducks and geese working the wetlands and ponds in season. White-tailed and mule deer move through the riparian cover at dawn and dusk, offering hunting and wildlife viewing right from the homesite. For photographers, birders, or anyone who simply values quiet mornings in wild country, this ground delivers that in full. In addition, this land benefits directly from its proximity to the Bighorn River corridor, even without frontage of its own. Surrounding irrigated farm ground adds another layer of benefit, offering standing forage that draws and holds wildlife on the property throughout the season. Local Amenities Thermopolis sits just minutes away, offering full community services, the Hot Springs County Airport (THP) with a 7,000-foot paved runway for private aviation access, the Legion Town & Country Club golf course, and Hot Springs State Park - home to the world's largest mineral hot springs. Wind River Canyon and extensive public land access are within easy reach, rounding out a recreational lifestyle that's genuinely difficult to replicate. The Opportunity Habitat this untouched, paired with an ideal homesite, and senior water rights, simply doesn't come on the market often, and when it does, it rarely comes at this price. Bighorn Wetlands Sanctuary represents an accessible entry point into a river corridor that is only growing in demand. Conservation buyers, recreational landowners, and patient investors should all put this land at the top of their list! Shown by appointment only, no driving by the property without permission! A neighbor's use of approximately five acres of the property for farming and irrigation is allowed solely by the owner's revocable permission, as a neighborly accommodation, and grants no ownership, possessory, prescriptive, or adverse rights.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

    1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
    2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
    3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
    4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
    5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
    6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
    7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
    8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
    9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
