Gates no longer connected to Irma Lake Lodge

CODY (WNE) — Billionaire Bill Gates is no longer connected to the Irma Lake Lodge, a South Fork ranch Buffalo Bill named after his oldest daughter back when he developed the property in 1895.

The 752 acres feature one 9,598-square-foot ranch house, two guest houses and five outbuildings. It sits directly below the eastern portion of Carter Mountain and looks over Irma Lake and toward the Buffalo Bill Reservoir in the distance.

The main lodge has 24 rooms, eight bedrooms – each with their own bathroom — and 11 fireplaces.
