A C R E A G E & C AT T L E O P E R AT I O N S

The extraordinary Beaver Creek Ranch is located north of historic Daniel, Wyoming near the breathtaking views and backcountry of “the Rim� in the Upper Green River Valley of Sublette County.

The ranch is comprised of approximately 9,966 deeded acres.

The ranch is centered on the confluence of the beautiful Green River (a Blue Ribbon Water) with the historic three forks of Beaver Creek. The meandering waters of the ranch include about 8 miles along the Green River and about 30 miles of winding live water on the three forks of Beaver Creek. Trophy trout abound in these cold mountain waters, as the Beaver Creeks flow out of the Forest lakes and snow fields of both the Wyoming and Gros Ventre Mountain Ranges. The Green River tumbles out of the Gros Ventre and Wind River Ranges. These mountains contain the greatest concentrations of glaciers and glacier fed lakes, creeks and rivers in the lower 48 states. Incredibly, this splendid ranch is less than an hour from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a spectacular drive through world class scenery.

Beaver Creek Ranch also includes approximately 3,700 acres of BLM lease, a Wyoming State lease of about 1,100 acres and a USFS grazing allotment in the Gros Ventre mountain range of about 15,000 acres (USFS lease is rated for 700 AUMs). The ranch totals 9,966 deeded acres and includes about 2,010 acres of ditch irrigated hay meadows, 2,041 acres of sub irrigated meadows and 5,915 acres of grazing highlands. As such, the operaSons of the Beaver Creek Ranch stretch over about 30,000 acres.

A C R E A G E & C AT T L E O P E R AT I O N S The Beaver Creek Ranch transitioned from a traditional cow calf operation about a half decade ago.

Presently, the ranch is lucratively leased as a yearling operation with conservation and improvement minded tenants. The riparian meadows and grazing highlands support about 4,000 head of cattle during the 5 to 6 month grass season.

There are many outbuildings including classic western plank wooden oored horse barns.

The Ranch HQ locaSon is at the historic and geographically remarkable confluence of the three Beaver Creeks with the Green River. In this private enclave, the trout fishing is world class, and moose, elk, mule deer, antelope, swans, ducks, geese and raptors are seen in abundance. The Upper Green River and Beaver Creek valley stretches out before the windows and one can observe not just spectacular migraSons of elk, but more frequent serene scenes of birds and beasts going about their daily lives. The ponds and streams hold these wildlife viewing, hunSng and fishing opportuniSes nearby the home year round.

A C R E A G E & C AT T L E O P E R AT I O N S The old log homestead cabin near the HQ home was built by the family of Cliff Hansen, the beloved former US Senator and Governor of Wyoming. The HQ home area, which sSll bears the name “the Hansen Place” is accessed by a private historic wooden bridge over the Green River.

This historic bridge and original road served as the earliest highway and river crossing between Jackson and Pinedale.

9

A C R E A G E & C AT T L E O P E R AT I O N S Each ranch staSon includes well-maintained homes for the ranch cowboys. These ranch staSons exude iconic western ranch history. The log homes, barns and corrals are evidence of the early toils of the homestead ranch families. In memory of these pioneers the North Ranch StaSon home is known as the Royce Place, the North Ranch StaSon shipping pens are known as the Wilson Place shipping corrals, and the South Ranch StaSon and corrals are called the Gransden Place. George Franz was an early rancher, and to this day, the Franz Reservoir holds good water for stock, wild life and water fowl. Local lore includes stories about Butch Cassidy and TR Roosevelt spending Sme in these homestead cabins.

10

PRICE Over several decades the family aggregated many homestead ranches into the Beaver Creek Ranch, which is now oered for sale for the ďŹ rst Sme in over 30 years at $28,000,000 for the 9,966 approximate deeded acres, and including the leased land of about 19,800 acres.

WATER RIGHTS

The Beaver Creek Ranch has excellent water situated on the forks of the three Beaver Creeks and the Green River. A summary of the adjudicated water rights is afached at the end of this brochure.

MINERAL RIGHTS At closing the seller will convey their mineral rights for this acreage; however, no representaSon is made as the extent or nature of the mineral rights.

L O C AT I O N & H I S TO RY

The Beaver Creek Ranch is less than an hour south of Jackson Hole, Wyoming the southern gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone NaSonal Parks. Jet air service to Jackson is the best in the naSon for a mountain resort town (see afached route map). The Jackson Hole vicinity offers world class recreaSon and cultural opportuniSes. The drive to Beaver Creek Ranch on highway 89 is one of the most beauSful and historic drives in the naSon, traversing through the Hoback River Canyon, through Lifle Jackson’s Hole (Bondurant) and rising up and over The Rim. The Rim divides the big river drainages: Snake River to the Columbia and the Pacific; Green River to the Colorado and the Sea of Cortez. John Hoback, for whom the river is named, was killed by Indians while trapping beaver. He was a member of The Astorian fur trading company who explored the area during their 1811-12 cross country trek to Astoria on the Pacific.

This was only the second Rocky Mountain exploraSon aker Lewis and Clark in 1805-1806.

Significant Historical Sites and Trails in the Green River Valley (photo credit: http://uwdigital.uwyo.edu/islandora/object/wyu:121401)

Here, above The Rim at elevaSons of about 6,500’ to 13,800’ one discovers the astonishingly beauSful Upper Green River Valley of Sublefe County, Wyoming, offering stunning 100 mile views of the Wyoming, Gros Ventre and Wind River Mountain ranges. Like other hardy Upper Green River homesteaders, when George Franz moved his family to his homestead in the 1890s, the hardy grass along the river and creeks gave cafle a chance to compete for survival with the abundant wildlife: elk, deer, pronghorn and moose, under the watchful eyes of eagles, hawks and the occasional wolf and Grizzly Bear.

This part of Sublefe County is the heart of Mountain Man Country. The Green River Rendezvous was an annual event during 1820-1840. Mountain Men, Trappers, Travelers and Indians all gathered in the valley near the ranch and bartered, traded, sold, and swapped various items such as skins, pelts, guns, jewelry and whatever else they needed. All knew the place where the forks of the Beaver and Horse Creeks flowed into the Green in the Upper Green River Valley. The Rendezvous lasted anywhere from a few days to several months and was a Sme for gelng new supplies, renewing acquaintances with old friends, story swapping, drinking and general rowdiness.

Photo via Bridger Teton NaSonal Forest Website

The area offers uncompromised beauty and is part of the Bridger Teton NaSonal Forest, represenSng almost 20 million acres of prisSne forests, mountains, rivers and streams all part of the Greater Yellowstone Region. Jim Bridger and Bill Sublefe from whom the county and forest derive their names, were mountain men and part of the fur trapping brigade that included Hugh Glass. Their names were made famous for their part in leaving old Hugh to die aker he was mauled by a Grizzly, as portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the recent movie Revenant.

The history of The Green River Drik and The Mountain Man Rendezvous are palpable on the ranch.

That this area is uniquely part of Old West is proven by the fact that the Green River Drik cafle trail has been conSnuously used since the 1890s by the Upper Green River Cafle AssociaSon. These caflemen drive their cafle or let them drik, from spring pasture on the county southern desert area to summer northern pastures in the Forest. Chilly fall weather causes the cafle to “drik” back out of the forest to return to their home ranches. The trail, 58 miles long with 41 miles of spurs, crosses BLM, State of Wyoming, NaSonal Forest, and private properSes. It has played a pivotal role in the development of ranching in the area. “The Drik” was listed on the NaSonal Register in November, 2013. Because it is sSll being used much as it has for more than 100 years, the Drik was listed as a TradiSonal Cultural Property (TCP), the first ranching related TCP in the naSon. NOTE: All property lines, fence lines, quanFFes, dimensions, distances, improvement square footage, numbers of acres and agricultural operaFon numbers, locaFons and quanFFes, are good faith esFmates by the seller and the real estate broker. A prospecFve buyer must complete their own due diligence to confirm these esFmates to their saFsfacFon.

SCENERY & OPEN SPACE ~

Protected by mountains on all s i d e s , J a c k s o n H o l e i s a n extraordinary refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life today.

And, most people agree that there is no more beauSful valley in the naSon, perhaps in the world. It is truly unique.

Jackson Hole is part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and is adjacent to both Yellowstone and the Rockefeller family’s great gik to our naSon, Grand Teton NaSonal Park. This area comprises the largest intact ecosystem in the lower 48 states.

PROTECTION FROM OVER DEVELOPMENT ~ THE BEAUTY ~ Jackson Hole is a truly vibrant community surrounded by some of the most dramaSc scenery in the world. Our rusSc yet refined lifestyle is defined not only by the stunning natural environment we live in, but also by a strong sense of community. We strive diligently to maintain our unique Western character through thoughnul planning, careful land use and extensive charitable giving.

There are numerous reasons why those who live in Wyoming have chosen to have their primary residences here. Some are emoSonal, such as the sheer beauty of the natural surroundings and the overall quality of life. Others are more pracScal in scope and include Wyoming’s overall tax-climate benefits.

Unlike many Rocky Mountain resorts, Jackson Hole will remain prisSne and unclufered due to the fact that 97% of the valley is NaSonal Forest, NaSonal Park, or other public land. You, your children and grandchildren will experience thousands of acres of o p e n s p a c e p r o t e c t e d i n p e r p e t u i t y t h a n k s t o t h e extraordinary efforts of the Jackson Hole Land Trust and the Nature Conservancy.

18

Scenic by-ways, river frontage, ranch lands and animal migration corridors are among the many valuable tracts of land that have been set aside to ensure open space in this valley into the future.

ACCESSIBLITY ~ Jackson Hole has daily jet service from major cities with Delta, Northwest, American and United.

In fact, since the expansion of the runway in 2002, planes as big as Air Force II have been able to fly into this resort community. Another option is the Idaho Falls Regional Airport serviced by SkyWest/Delta Airlines, Allegiant Air and United Express.

WILDLIFE ~ The splendid setting and dramatic landscapes of Jackson Hole and the surrounding area support abundant wildlife including elk, deer, moose, bears, Bighorn Sheep, swans, geese, eagles and so much more. Each year visitors who love the outdoors and want to experience all that Mother Nature has to offer in Wyoming visit this area of the rugged west.

19

GETTING HERE

The Jackson Hole, WY airport is less than an hour north of the Beaver Creek Ranch offering airport services and connections to most major U.S. metropolitan areas.

Jackson Hole, WY provides all the activity of a World Class Destination Ski Resort and the gateway for Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.

TA X B E N E F I T S I N W YO M I N G

There are numerous reasons why those who live in Jackson Hole have chosen to have their primary residences here. Some of those reasons are emoSonal, such as the sheer beauty of the natural surroundings and the overall quality of life. Other reasons are more pracScal in scope and include Wyoming’s overall tax-climate benefits. For years, Bloomberg has rated Wyoming as the most taxfriendly state in the U.S.

Here’s Why… § No personal or corporate state income tax. § Shield your real estate from federal estate taxes for up to 1,000 years through a dynasty trust. A key point to remember is that the trust must be administered in Wyoming. § No inheritance tax or estate tax. Wyoming repealed its estate tax as of Jan 1, 2005. § No state gik tax. You can ‘gik’ your real estate to your heirs without paying a tax. § No tax on out-of-state reSrement income. § Low property taxes compared to other states. § No excise taxes. When you fill up your car’s gas tank or buy a bag of groceries in Wyoming, you won’t pay any state tax on your gas or food. § No intangible taxes on financial assets like stocks and bonds. § No tax on the sale of real estate. § No tax on mineral ownership.
