Castle Creek Road Retreat

Four Corners, Wyoming

79 acres | $995,000

Property and Terrain: The property consists of 79.875 acres, which have been surveyed. The land is partially fenced.

The diverse landscape is characteristic of the western Black Hills. The improvements are situated on the upper portion of the property amid heavy pine timber, at approximately 6,300 feet in elevation. From the upper plateau, the terrain transitions into timbered slopes and canyon country, dropping to approximately 6,100 feet along the Stockade Beaver Creek drainage. The drainage runs through the property and is typically seasonal, carrying water primarily during spring runoff or pockets of water in wetter periods.

Ponderosa pine, spruce, aspen and a variety of native shrubs create varied forest cover interspersed with open meadows. The varied topography provides numerous areas to explore without ever leaving the property.

Residence: Constructed in 2014, the residence is a build-out incorporated into a Cleary building and contains approximately 2,784 square feet on the main level, plus a loft overlooking the great room. The interior has been accented with rustic, log-cabin-inspired features. Some interior finish work remains.

The focal point of the home is the spacious great room, featuring a high open-beam ceiling, laminate wood flooring and an open layout connecting the kitchen and dining room. This central portion of the home provides a comfortable setting for gathering. The kitchen features a center island, generous counters, cedar cabinetry and an induction range. The home includes two bedrooms, each with a private bath, plus additional sleeping possibilities in the loft. There are three 3/4 baths in total.

The loft offers flexibility for a sitting area, library or other uses. Some portions of the loft have lower overhead clearance beneath the beams. The home also includes a recreation room adjoining the garage, a hallway office nook and a large laundry/mudroom with an exterior entrance and hookups for two washers and dryers. A covered porch on the east side of the residence extends the living space outdoors and connects with the carport.
