Fisher Homestead is a 90-acre ranch set amid expansive grasslands southwest of Laramie, Wyoming. The property features two residences, including a main home and a beautifully renovated, fully equipped guest house. A classic red barn, multiple livestock stalls, corrals, fenced pastures, and open grazing meadows provide the infrastructure and versatility for a cow-calf operation, horse ranch, or private rural retreat.The predominantly level ranchland features two expansive 40+ acre meadows adjoining the homestead. The property benefits from water rights associated with the Fisher Ditch, which extends across the ranch and delivers seasonal irrigation water diverted from the Laramie River. This water supports annual hay production and enhances the meadows for cattle and horse grazing throughout the growing season. The entire 90-acre ranch is fenced, with cross-fencing separating the two primary pastures. A shallow stock well, conveniently located between the pastures, provides an additional water source for livestock. Ranch Home An immaculate four-bedroom modular ranch home with an oversized attached garage sits at the heart of the ranch headquarters. The home features a bright, open floor plan with a centrally located kitchen, spacious living and dining areas, abundant natural light, and expansive windows capturing views across the ranch and surrounding mountains. The southwest-facing primary suite includes a large bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom. Three additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. The kitchen offers generous cabinetry and counter space, stainless steel appliances, an island, farmhouse-style sink, and an easy flow into the dining and living areas. Plush carpeting, recessed lighting, and warm wood finishes carry throughout the home. The attached 1,600-square-foot garage provides exceptional space for multiple large trucks, ranch equipment, tools, and storage. Outside, a landscaped grass yard with sprinkler system creates a private, usable outdoor area, complemented by low-maintenance gravel landscaping and stamped concrete walkways. Guest House The original early-1900s ranch house has been thoughtfully renovated into a charming guest residence, preserving its historic character while offering modern comforts and versatility. Previously used for extended family and short-term rental accommodations, the fully furnished three-bedroom home features a complete kitchen, comfortable living and dining areas, and updated finishes that complement its rustic ranch heritage. The guest house provides inviting private accommodations for family and visitors, with the added potential for supplemental rental income. Iconic Red Barn The property features a classic red Wyoming barn with traditional wood siding, white trim, and a metal roof. Well suited for calving and general livestock operations, the barn includes multiple stalls, a central aisle, tack and saddle storage, feed areas, and direct access to adjoining corrals and fenced pastures.

To the west, Centennial serves as a gateway to the Medicine Bow National Forest and Snowy Range, with hiking, horseback riding, fishing, camping, mountain biking, hunting, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and downhill skiing at Snowy Range Ski Area. To the east, the Vedauwoo and Pole Mountain areas are known for dramatic granite formations, hiking, climbing, camping, and trail riding. The 90 acres offered is presently part of a larger 315 acre property. The entire 315 acre property is listed for sale by Harrigan Land Company. Laramie has a high-elevation, semi-arid climate characterized by low humidity, abundant sunshine, cool summers, and cold winters. Summer days are generally mild to warm with cool evenings, while winter brings regular snowfall, periods of strong wind, and temperatures that can fall well below freezing. Spring and fall are shorter transition seasons, with weather capable of changing quickly. The area's dry air, wide temperature swings between day and night, and four distinct seasons are typical of southeastern Wyoming's high plains. Laramie developed in the late 1860s with the arrival of the Union Pacific Railroad and quickly became an important transportation, ranching, and commercial center on the high plains. The region had long been used by Indigenous peoples, including the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Lakota. Laramie was named for French-Canadian trapper Jacques La Ramie, and the University of Wyoming was established there in 1886. Today, the area retains strong ties to its railroad, ranching, and Western heritage while serving as a center for education, agriculture, and outdoor recreation.

The road climbs until the sage gives way to aspen and the Snowy Range fills the windshield. Two miles past Centennial, a gate opens onto 370± acres that took a lifetime to assemble and could not be assembled again. Cross Creek Ranch holds four things that almost never appear on the same deed: architect-designed massive-timber construction, spring-fed live water, irrigated production hay ground, and a top fence line that opens directly onto more than a million acres of the Medicine Bow National Forest. Add a heated 150-by-300-foot arena built to competition specification and the offering has no meaningful comparable in the Rocky Mountain West. The land runs in two deeded parcels, 220± acres west and 150± acres east, fully fenced, with year-round access. Kelly Creek comes out of the timber cold and spring-fed and crosses the meadow, carrying 70 to 80 acres of irrigated and sub-irrigated hay ground that still produces. From there the country climbs through aspen bottoms into dark timber and simply keeps going, unbroken, toward Medicine Bow Peak at 12,013 feet. Elk, mule deer, moose, pronghorn, black bear, mountain lion, and bobcat move through with the seasons. Blue-ribbon water and alpine lakes are minutes away. Owned minerals convey. The 6,080± square foot residence was designed by architect Joe P. Robbins of Steamboat Springs and built in the Swedish cope tradition: full-length logs selected, scribed by hand, and fitted one to the next until the wall itself became the structure. A sunken great room gathers beneath exposed ridge beams around a wood-burning fireplace, mullioned glass hanging the range on the walls like paintings. Granite meets pine cabinetry in the kitchen, over wood and Saltillo tile. In-floor radiant heat runs on a dual wood-pellet and propane system with solar supplement, the same engineering seriousness found everywhere else in the build. It could be rebuilt today only with difficulty, and never again with these materials. Then there is the arena. One hundred fifty by three hundred feet, heated, insulated, clear-span, set on concrete pilings, with some 700 tons of concrete engineered into the hillside retaining wall behind it. Roping chutes, return alley, three stalls, tack room, workshop, hay storage, pipe pens outside. This is not a covered riding ring. It is working infrastructure for roping, cutting, and performance-horse programs, and it is the reason this ranch runs twelve months a year at 8,000 feet. Legacy holdings of this caliber change hands a few times in a generation.
