"If you want to be a cowboy and live a western life, this is it," said Siegfried. "I don’t think I can ever live in the city again. . . . When I walk down the driveway I’m

dumbfounded by the beauty of this place we created." So said Robin Siegfried about the 128-acre Lazy Moose Ranch which he and his wife, Cherrie bought as a shambles on Fish Creek, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming back in 1997. It stole their hearts on the spot and they were already envisioning its restoration. Thinking the project would take only seven months, ideas begat ideas and ten years later they have lived there, added more and entertained guests such as Mitt Romney, Dick Cheney, Meg Whitman and Queen Noor of Jordan.

Having carefully repurposed each hand-hewn log, Siegfried restored Fish Creek from past cattle trampling returning the ranch’s quarter mile stretch into fine breeding and spawning habitat for the native Cutthroat trout. Surrounded by five mountain ranges, including the Tetons, Munger Mountain, the Wind Rivers and the Gros Ventre, the land is brimming with wildlife, waterfowl and fish and endless horseback trails. The lower ranch, set on the banks of Fish Creek includes a main home with five bedrooms, a one- bedroom guest home, barn, workshop, caretaker’s cabin and a 1,000-square-foot greenhouse. The upper ranch has a spacious lodge overlooking the valley, two quaint log cabins and several outbuildings including a large detached garage and hay shed. For more information.

Lazy Moose Ranch, where one can enjoy being lazy without guilt, fish for trout in their own quarter-mile length of Fish Creek, go on a picnic by horseback or snuggle up with a good book by one of the large stone fireplaces. For the cowboy in all of us who also wants luxury at the tip of a finger. Priced at $19 million.
