Approximately 2,400 feet of private Bighorn River frontage. Twelve acres of buildable bench ground with canyon and river views. Power and fiber optic already on site. This is the kind of riverfront property that serious buyers wait years to find — and it's available now.
Parcel #3 is a 38.14-acre Bighorn River front property consisting of two tracts (17.77 ac + 20.37 ac) situated just north of Thermopolis in Hot Springs County, Wyoming. The offering combines the best of what live water land has to offer: direct river access, functional buildable ground, native wetland habitat, and infrastructure already in place for future development.
The 12± acres of elevated bench ground rise above the river with commanding views of the surrounding canyon country — a genuinely exceptional homesite in a region known for dramatic scenery. Below, 16.5± acres of native wetlands and riparian vegetation provide year-round wildlife habitat and natural screening that enhances the property's privacy and conservation value. A private gravel and dirt road provides access, and with power and fiber optic utilities already on site, the path from raw land to a finished retreat is materially shorter than most comparable parcels in the region.
The Bighorn River itself is the centerpiece. Consistently rated among the top tailwater fisheries in North America, the river produces trophy brown and rainbow trout year-round, fed by the cold, stable releases of Boysen Reservoir to the south. Productive hatches of caddis, Pale Morning Duns, and Blue-Winged Olives draw fly anglers from across the country, and the private frontage these parcels offer puts you on the water without the crowds. The riparian corridor also supports exceptional waterfowl hunting, with Canada geese, mallards, and migratory ducks using the wetland areas seasonally. Mule deer and white-tailed deer are regular residents throughout the river bottom.
Thermopolis delivers the infrastructure and amenities that make remote land ownership practical. Full community services, the Hot Springs County Airport (THP) with a 7,000-foot paved runway for private aviation, the Legion Town & Country Club golf course, and Hot Springs State Park — home to the world's largest mineral hot springs — are all within minutes. Wind River Canyon lies just to the south, and public land access expands the recreational footprint well beyond the property boundaries.
At $500,000, Parcel #3 offers a compelling combination of scarcity, infrastructure, and recreational value that is increasingly rare in the Wyoming land market. River properties with this much frontage, this much buildable ground, and this level of recreational appeal simply do not come available often.
