South Crown Ranch

South Crown Ranch encompasses approximately 318 acres, including flood-irrigated hay and pasture land, beautiful river bottom, and native range located just fifteen miles south of Evanston, Wyoming. Twenty minutes from town and graced by both Bear River and Mill Creek—an important tributary of the Bear—this exceptional property offers over half a mile of meandering waterways that provide year-round live water and excellent private fishing. Access to the ranch is via an all-weather county road leading to a private driveway that bridges Mill Creek before arriving at the residence, beautifully positioned between a private trout pond and the east bank of the Bear River. Built in 2007, this custom home offers a rare blend of refined craftsmanship and natural beauty. The 6,800-square-foot residence features approximately 4,500 square feet of main living space and 2,300 square feet of finished basement, with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms throughout. Thoughtfully oriented to capture the property’s most dramatic asset, the home showcases uninterrupted southern views of the mighty Uinta Mountain Range, where eight peaks tower above 12,000 feet, creating a spectacular vista visible from nearly anywhere on the property. The 318 deeded-acre property forms a near-perfect rectangle with half a mile of frontage along County Road 157 and extends one mile deep. Both Mill Creek and the Bear River meander through the land, creating interesting riparian corridors. Beyond these waterways, the ranch encompasses approximately 50 acres of flood-irrigated native hay land and about 200 acres of irrigated pasture. Ten separate cross-fenced pasture areas enable precise management of livestock throughout the property.

BEAR RIVER The Bear River is the largest river in North America that does not reach an ocean. It begins in the high Uinta Mountains of Utah, flows through Wyoming and Idaho, and ends in the Great Salt Lake. Fish species include cutthroat, brook, and rainbow trout.
