Golden Willow Haven

Golden Willow Haven is the quintessential Wyoming horse property. Features include a custom home, 160 x 98 indoor riding arena, 2 loafing sheds with automatic waterers, irrigation, and abundant mountain views in every direction. It is approximately 14.79 acres sitting on the bench above Lander Wyoming, conveniently located just outside the city limits. Amazing care and attention to detail were taken in the design and layout of the home, arena, and property. The home is an oversized 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with an attached 3 car garage. Inside you will find a generous living area coupled with a gorgeous custom kitchen featuring granite countertops and Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. A dining area offers views second to none in the valley. Passing to the two back bedrooms you’ll traverse a short corridor with a built-in office space containing ample room for two workspaces and entrances to a convenient pantry and second bathroom. Resting between the two back bedrooms is a convenient laundry room with built in wash tub and folding benches. This acts as a mud room and access to the oversized three car garage. The guest bedroom is situated on the west side of the home and has a large picture window for enjoying the amazing sunsets on the Wind River range. A master suite should feel luxurious and this home’s does not disappoint. The warmth of the in-floor heat rises up to meet you in the morning as you awake with the sun out a large east-facing window. The deep walk-in closet is well designed and conveniently located nearest the laundry room. A built-in soaking tub is adjacent to a curb-less, walk-in tile, shower and accompanied by a granite vanity. Built with incredible craftsmanship and foresight both inside and out, this home features hydronic in-floor heat, air conditioning through exposed ducting in vaulted ceilings, stained and polished concrete floors, a whole home Bluetooth stereo system, and has been prewired for satellite dish or internet. The home is supplied water by two 3000 gal cisterns. Both the home and barn have separate septic systems. 14.79 acres of fertile soil with irrigation rights to the majority of the property, grows a very healthy stand of grass through the summer and makes excellent pasture. Electric fencing is offset from the perimeter and has multiple cross fences for paddocks or rotational grazing. The property sits on an unassuming plateau looking down on the outskirts of Lander. Unlimited mountain views abound in every direction. Property with this amount of seclusion and close proximity to town are extraordinarily rare in the Lander Valley. The terrain is mostly flat and the parcel is situated and has adequate length that it would be quite convenient to put in a private air strip as well. An oversized heated 3 car garage was built in accordance with the lifestyle of the property. Each bay can easily house a full-size dual wheel pickup with ample room for storage. The garage is heated with hydronic in-floor heat and one bay is prewired for an electric vehicle charging station. Approximate size is 28 x 36 feet. To those with horses a barn is often as important as the home, and at Golden Willow Haven it shows. The facility features a 160 x 72-foot arena with slanted kick boards, rubber mulch footing, and a full assortment of jumps, rails, and obstacles. The size is generous for most equestrian disciplines and perfect for 20-meter circles. An Approximately 26-foot-wide section along the arena includes a 1 bed 1 bath apartment, alleyway, tack room, restroom, 2 saddling bays, storage and ample room for covered hay storage. With a building of this size and quality, usage possibilities outside the scope of an arena are endless as well. The barn would be suited as a large hangar for a private airstrip, equipment storage, a mechanic’s shop, a dance studio, or anything else an owner can imagine. The 1 bed 1 bath apartment was recently finished inside and would make a terrific manager’s apartment, guest house, rental, or Airbnb. Currently there are 2 main paddocks each with a loafing shed and Nelson heated automatic waterers. Both paddocks have easy access to larger pastures. Lander is known for its picturesque views and recreational laid-back lifestyle. The outdoor activities in Lander are numerous including horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, hunting, fishing, skiing, and endless other adventures in the Wind River Mountains. Multiple trails are accessible within a few minutes from the property and both the horseback and footbound communities are thriving and welcoming. Notable attractions in Lander include Sinks Canyon State Park, Wild Iris, Red Canyon, the 4th of July celebration, known far and wide as the best fireworks in Wyoming, and an assortment of trails ascending into the Wind River Mountains.
