180 US Steel, Atlantic City, WY 82520

Step away from the hustle and bustle of the modern-day life and into this peaceful and rustic, yet full of potential Atlantic City abode. Bordering BLM, fully fenced, and with a heated shop, the possibilities of this quiet and rural home are truly remarkable. Having a walk-out basement where you can find the well, which helps to prevent wintertime freezing of pipes, you have the opportunity not only to store your outdoor equipment, but also pursue hobbies like rock-hounding or photography, as the previous owner once did. Traveling into the original cabin, you will find charming flairs like stained glass and a claw foot bathtub. With the unfinished addition, you have the opportunity to bring your own style and vibe to the premises. Outside your door you are apt to find a moose taking a mid-day nap or see the local deer traversing through to their next meal. Hop your fence and embark on a hunting, exploring, or whatever your heart desires type of journey onto the open and expansive BLM land that borders. With willows, aspens, and evergreens around, you are sure to see wildlife often right outside your front door. This three-bedroom, one-bathroom rustic home is not only cozy but has much potential with ample square footage to make into your own. The basement has plenty of space for storage or hobbies, like rock work or photography as it was once used. The large addition with big windows adds bright natural light to the unique space with an impressive spiral staircase leading to an open area once used as an art gallery. An added bonus is the pot shop, as it was once used as a pottery shop, where there is another wood stove, along with being electrically heated. This property is not only fully fenced, but borders BLM land where the outdoor enthusiast's desires may run as wild as the land surrounding this peaceful abode. The house is being sold as is, and thus includes personal property the current owners will not be removing from the premises, as well as needing a few finishing touches like flooring in the addition and ceiling panels. Also note, the property cannot be reached by vehicle in the wintertime. Having 2,300 square feet, this home has the potential to be an avid-outdoor enthusiast's full-time residence, or a snowbird's high country summer retreat. With the basement being 640 square feet, and the outdoor shop having 480 square feet, there is sure to be space for your snowshoes, horse tack, back-country equipment and more. Whether you like to snowshoe, backpack, hike, explore off-road recreation, hunt, watch wildlife, rock-climb, ski, bike, camp, or gold-pan, you will not be disappointed as these outdoor activities are all right outside your cozy mountain home.

Originally a miner's camp with a population of around 2,000 people and boasting a church, general store with a dance hall, brewery, opera house, school, drug store, and several saloons, Atlantic City's first boom lasted about a decade, before French engineer Emil Granier arrived investing in a hydraulic mining operation. Though the boom days had passed, Atlantic City lived on.
