Lest you believe that Kanye West's designs on the state of Wyoming were complete, TMZ reports that the newly born-again rapper, producer, and general artist has purchased yet another massive tract of land in Wyoming, this one for nearly $14.5 million – $14.495 million, to be exact. The acquisition of Bighorn Mountain Ranch adds to Kanye's already impressive portfolio in Wyoming, showcasing his deepening ties to the state. This sprawling estate is not just a financial investment; it represents a lifestyle choice that resonates with his artistic vision.
Bighorn Mountain Ranch is located outside of Cody, Wyoming, and sprawls over 6,713 acres of land. It was first developed way back in 1906, but in the decades since, many modern conveniences have been added, like two separate helipads among other things, as well as a few lodges outfitted with spacious saunas. This blend of historical charm and modern luxury makes the ranch a unique property, appealing to those who value both comfort and nature.
The ranch's former owner, David Flitner, spoke to Hayden Outdoors about the property when he put it up for sale last year, having lived his whole 84 years on the land. As you can imagine, he described it enthusiastically: "We've had five generations on the ranch, and have had many businesses on the properties over the years. We run cattle and do a farming operation in the Shell Valley, raising a variety of crops including alfalfa, hay, bean, corn, malt barley, and so on." David's deep connection to the land adds a layer of historical significance to Kanye's new venture.
It's not known what exactly Kanye plans to do with Bighorn Mountain Ranch, but if he's decided to take up hunting he’ll find plenty of game there, with elk, deer, turkey, and pheasants among the wildlife in the area. The ranch is also purportedly home to some of the state's best trout fishing, thanks to myriad springs and creeks that raise the water quality above that found on other similar mountain properties. This diverse ecosystem presents exciting possibilities for both recreation and sustainable living.
