\noptions. The home favored by the owners is a beautiful Log Home built in 1977
\nand later remodeled in 1998. The owners selected a perfect location to build
\nthis 2,288 square foot <\/span>log home. <\/span>A lightly timbered driveway leads to the entrance of
\nthe home, where exceptional craftmanship is evident immediately.\u00a0 <\/span>While entering the house through the

\nfireplace to hunker up around after cold morning hunts on the ranch. Continuing
\npast the living area you\u2019ll find the kitchen, accentuated <\/span>with high-end amenities including tiled floors,
\ngranite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances.\u00a0 <\/span>An oversized two car garage is attached to
\nthe house by way of <\/span>a large mud room that
\nincludes a half bath, perfect for cleaning up when coming in from outside. An
\nadditional pole barn for dry storage of equipment, vehicles and ATV\u2019s is easily
\naccessible near the log home entrance as well.<\/p>\n
\nThe manager\u2019s house <\/span>is located on the north side
\nof the property, overlooking Buffalo Creek. Here a person can watch the herd
\ncalve, keep an eye on the big bulls as they enter the bedding ground, or just
\nwatch the sun go down over the horizon. The manager\u2019s house is where the work
\nhappens. An elaborate set of pipe working corrals have been built to bring the
\nherd into brand, precondition and ship. There are several outbuildings around
\nthe manager\u2019s house including a barn, shop, and three-sided sheds for the
\nanimals.<\/p>\n

\nin the hay fields. <\/p>\n
\nWindancer, and on wetter years is confident the ranch could run more. As a
\nresult, income potential on the ranch is significant, especially considering
\ncurrent cattle prices at an all time high. Historically the owner would calve
\nout on Buffalo Creek, and then move the cows to the south in Antelope Creek for
\nthe summer, bringing them home in late October or early November to wean and
\nsell. <\/p>\n
\nplanted in the tilled acres, a good year with plenty of rain can guarantee all
\nthe feed a cattle herd would need. Up to 800 ton of hay has been produced on
\nthe ranch when properly fertilized and sprayed. The Windancer is a
\nself-sustaining operation with a profitable bottom line. <\/p>\n
\narea. This feature makes this ranch one of the most versatile ranches in the
\nBull Mountains. A spring fed reservoir is rarely dry even in the most
\ndrought-stricken years, and with multiple wells and water lines, water on the
\nranch is guaranteed. This asset holds true in late August and early September
\nwhen the animals need it most. Water Rights will <\/span>transfer
\nto a buyer upon request. <\/p>\n
\nsummer temperatures in the mid-80\u2019s and average winter snowfall of
\napproximately 40 inches. The area receives around 13 inches of rainfall
\nannually, making it well-suited for both ranching and recreational activities. <\/p>\n\n\n
