Exterior & Land
The Old Stone School building sits on eight (8) acres of land--a large and an authentic slice of the Old West. The property features 800 feet of U.S. Highway 14 frontage, and easy access to the building.

One notable feature of the building is the erratic original stonework. The front wall is neatly done, the stones square and laid in neat, even courses. But the other walls have rounded, chipped rocks with no discernable pattern. Some of the sandstone pieces are huge, and they bear carved initials of old students.

The rear and East side of addition is surrounded by a large Redwood deck, which accentuates the private entrance. The immediate surroundings are beautifully landscaped with apple, apricot and aspen trees, native wildflowers and fragrant lilac and rose bushes. There is also a vegetable garden area.

Nearly everyone agrees that the most outstanding attraction of the property is the unobstructed, 360° views of the Big Horn Mountains, the lush Shell Valley and the geologically significant foothills. The current owner is rather fond of the small stream that runs through the property, and had planned to use it to feed a fish pond stocked with native varieties of trout.

Included on the site is the original log school house built on the 1890s and a variety of antique farm equipment, suitable for restoration or a rustic display.

There are no land use or zoning restrictions in place that would prohibit building additional structures on the property. Wyoming has famously low property and sales taxes, so the possibilities for this property are as limitless as your imagination.
