73 Acres in Frannie, WY - $310,000
This is a fully irrigated ranchette, which will support close to 40 AU. The present owners have 14 horses and 17 cows. The alfalfa field is only in its second year and the first 18 acres field has been freshly planted with grass. All irrigation is done with gated pipe, which makes it much easier than having open ditches!

There is a strong well by the house. We don't know how much water it pumps per minute, but sometimes they forget to shut off the sprinkler for the yard, running it all night, and so far they were never able to run it dry. The little creek behind the house runs year round and forms two ponds at the south end of the property. Actually this would make a nice homesite there among the trees overlooking the ponds!
The ranch is well fenced and cross fenced with 5 strands of barb and smooth wire. There is a 64' x 32' pole barn with horse stalls and a loft. Outside are several corrals, but the best part is the wooden round pen, you can see a photo of it at the lower left. If you would like to buy a horse, most of them can be bought for just $ 1,200! The water charges per year are about $ 1,500 and the annual taxes run around $ 750.
