A lake, a park, and a place of your own between them.
Granite Lake Estates sits at 7,312 feet on the shore of Granite Reservoir, where Curt Gowdy State Park begins at the end of the deck. It is the only property with private access to the lake: a dock and a boat ramp on deeded land, and a cove that goes quiet by evening.
Across 35.35 acres, six separate living areas give everyone their own door. A year-round stream runs through the land. Cheyenne is 25 minutes east, Laramie 30 minutes west, and Denver International Airport is within two hours.

Six homes. One gate.
The estate is laid out as separate living areas rather than one house, so a family, a team, or a full wedding party can share the place without sharing a hallway.

Ways to own it
The same 35 acres answer four different plans. Pick the one that sounds like yours.
Room for everyone you love, and a lake to yourselves.
Six separate living areas let several households each keep their own kitchen, schedule, and front door, and still meet at the dock by sundown. Hike straight into the park, launch from your own ramp, ride horses on your own land.
A wedding weekend with the lodging already built.
Regional ranch and barn venues rent for a day and send guests to hotels in town. Here, the wedding party sleeps on site.
- The Cliff Pad Concrete pad over the lake, room for 200 or more at a ceremony
- The large garage 59 by 46 ft, 2,714 sq ft, ready to finish as a 150-seat hall
- The cliff garage 27 by 32 ft, 864 sq ft with a lake view, for cocktails or dinners of 40 to 55
- The dock Photos, send-offs, and ceremonies on the water
- Parking Room for about 75 vehicles
It has done this before.
The property once operated as the Windy Hills Guest House bed and breakfast. Today it sleeps 18 to 22 across six living areas with five kitchens, and the cliff house suites give a retreat leader or a honeymoon couple a private place apart from the group.
Leadership offsites, church and youth retreats, family reunions, and Cheyenne Frontier Days guests all need what is scarce here: lodging for a group, in one place, by the water.
A business plan comes with the listing.
A 26-page plan models the estate as Granite Lake Estates and Event Center, with nine revenue lines: wedding weekends, five vacation rental units, a Frontier Days block, elopements, corporate retreats, family gatherings, group camps, ticketed dinners, and paddlecraft rentals from the dock.
The business plan is illustrative only: one concept for how a purchaser could operate the property. It is not a guarantee, forecast, or representation by the seller or the listing agent. Purchasers perform their own due diligence.

Curt Gowdy State Park is the third most-visited state park in Wyoming, with about 50 miles of trail and mountain biking known nationwide. Its boundary starts where the property's deck ends. Most of its out-of-state visitors drive up from Colorado's Front Range.
