A Resort Development Opportunity at the Gateway to the Wind River Range
Eighty acres at the edge of Pinedale, Wyoming, zoned for resort development. The 27 acres inside town limits sit in the Recreational Resort Development District (RRDD) — Pinedale's resort-development zoning — permitting a motorcoach resort, RV park, cabins, hotel, or full resort by right, with a rare right to plat and sell deeded lots that can be rented nightly. Fifty-three adjoining county acres extend the canvas north as annexable expansion ground.
A five-acre, year-round pond is fed by spring-fed Barber Creek, which runs through the property; power is on site and the municipal water line runs through it. The views are the ones people move to Sublette County for — Fremont Peak and the Wind River Range to the northeast and the Wyoming Range to the west. An engineered 128-lot resort concept is already drawn, giving a buyer a running start and proof of what the zoning supports.
This is a rare opportunity: a zoned, watered, in-town development canvas in a market with no competing product, roughly 75 miles down the corridor from Jackson.
The engineered Class A motorcoach concept is one vision of what it can become — the buyer designs their own.
What Makes It Rare
Zoned, Watered, and In-Town
- RRDD resort-development zoning — motorcoach resort, RV park, hotel/motel, convention facility, and full resort all permitted by right
- A deeded-lot right that stands alone — designated lots may be platted and sold individually, and those owned lots may be rented nightly, regardless of town short-term-rental limits
- Room to scale — the engineered concept uses roughly half the density the zoning allows, leaving significant headroom
- A five-acre, year-round pond fed by spring-fed Barber Creek — live water running through the property
- Town utilities in place — power on site and the municipal water line running through the property; 27 acres inside Pinedale town limits
- Bike-path access to town — a path runs along Ehman Lane just west of the resort-zoned acreage, with another heading east from the school just south — downtown Pinedale is under a mile away, an easy ride to restaurants and shops
- Fly-fishing and big-game country — the pond holds trout for on-site fishing and the Green River, the New Fork, and their tributaries are nearby for additional fishing opportunities. For the hunter, Sublette County is known for elk, moose, antelope, and mule deer.
- An engineered 128-lot resort concept already drawn — preliminary and buyer-completable, with a clear path to platting
- 53 additional county acres — adjoining the resort zoning as annexable expansion ground
- Documented mountain views — Fremont Peak and the Wind River Range to the northeast; the Wyoming Range to the west
- Positioned on the Jackson corridor — roughly 75 miles south of Jackson on US 191, the route linking Jackson Hole to Interstate 80, with Yellowstone National Park 135 miles north
The Area & Market
A Destination With Demand Already Moving
US 191 is the highway spine of the upper Green River Valley, carrying a peak-season flow of roughly 4,106 vehicles a day on the approach to Pinedale¹ — a steady 3,000-plus year-round². Pinedale is a primary gateway to the Wind River Range and the Bridger Wilderness: 428,087 acres, more than 2,300 alpine lakes, and over 600 miles of trails³, with Fremont Lake — the second-largest natural lake in Wyoming — seven miles from town⁴.
Wyoming set a record with $5 billion in visitor spending in 2025 and roughly 8.8 million overnight visitors⁵. This is destination country, not a stopover: the Green River Rendezvous and the Museum of the Mountain Man anchor a summer season on ground that hosted six of the sixteen historic Rocky Mountain fur-trade rendezvous⁶, while Fremont Lake, White Pine Ski Area, and hundreds of miles of trail draw self-contained, destination-driven travelers who choose a place for what it offers.
The property sits on real infrastructure. Sublette County holds the Pinedale Anticline — the largest gas field in Wyoming and the sixth-largest in the United States⁷ — with the utilities, services, and maintained highway network that come with an established resource economy. Ralph Wenz Field sits five miles southeast of town on an 8,900-foot asphalt runway, fully resurfaced in 2021 with the jet apron doubled for larger aircraft. It carries Jet A, a full-service FBO open year-round, and two GPS instrument approaches, and roughly a third of its traffic is air taxi and charter⁸. The Town of Pinedale is actively planning its road system through a 2024 Transportation Master Plan⁹.

Possible Directions
One Canvas, Many Visions
Motorcoach Resort
The engineered concept: 128 Class A lots around the pond, deeded and rentable nightly. The original vision, and a proof of feasibility.
RV + Cabin Community
Blend RV sites with cabins and park models to capture the broader pool of travelers priced out of Jackson.
Pond & Creek Recreation Retreat
Build around the water — the trout-holding five-acre pond and Barber Creek as the amenity core of a fishing and recreation destination.
Your Own Vision
The zoning permits hotel, resort, and convention uses too. The zoning and the water are the foundation; the design is yours.
The North Parcel
What the 53 Acres Can Do
The 53.12 acres north of the town line carry Sublette County Agricultural (A-1) zoning and an agricultural tax classification. They sell together with the in-town parcel as one offering — and for a resort buyer their highest use is the setting around it: open space, recreation ground, and room to expand.
As recreation and open space
A-1 permits outdoor recreation facilities for hunting, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and winter sports where incidental to the agricultural use. The county also treats the rental of a guest house or cabin as an outright permitted use in A-1 — not a conditional one. Residential density is limited to one single-family dwelling per 35 acres, which is what keeps the ground open.
By conditional use permit
The county's A-1 conditional-use list includes guest ranches and outfitters, bed and breakfast, special events, and golf courses. Glamping-style lodging can fit the guest-ranch category where the operation centers on a lodge used for dining rather than self-contained units with individual kitchens, and includes the barns, corrals, pastures, and horses the county's definition requires.
Or annex
The parcel adjoins the town limit and the RRDD-zoned acreage. Annexation is the path to resort-density development on the north ground, subject to Town approval.
Source: Sublette County Zoning and Development Regulations — Ch. II, Sec. 3 (Authorized Uses) and Ch. I definitions. Uses listed are the county's own; any development is subject to permitting and approval.
The Vision
See What It Could Become
The engineered concept below is one realization of the site — a Class A motorcoach resort around the pond. It's included to show what the zoning and the land support, not to define the buyer's plan. These are concept renderings; the property is raw land and pond today.

All renderings and animation depict a conceptual development and are illustrative only. The property is currently raw land with a pond. Any development is subject to platting, permitting, and buyer design.
