There's a lot going on in Kanye West's neck of the woods these days. Right on the heels of his surprise announcement of a 2020 presidential run, TMZ reports that he's officially secured approval for the construction of a massive 52,000-square-foot home on his ranch in Wyoming, as well as a few other projects that could turn the ranch into a home-away-from-home suitable for a music and fashion billionaire and his family.
You might recall that the West ranch is located in Cody, Wyoming (one of two in the area), and already had a set of cabins and other structures when he purchased it in September of last year. Now, those will be torn down and replaced with a huge, 10-bedroom mansion for himself and his family, as well as a couple extra lake houses for guests.
Construction on the new houses hasn’t begun yet, and before it can, there will need to be more approvals, like a wastewater permit for a new septic system. But the building and zone permits are ready to go, so ideally for the Wests, work on the projects can start pretty soon.
The property definitely won’t be lacking storage space, since also included among the issued permits are plans for not one but two underground garages, each one measuring in at about 10,000 square feet each. More details about these construction projects may come to light in the future, but for now, we pretty much only know about the basic plans. As to whether the Wests plan to make a permanent home on their Wyoming ranch, prevailing wisdom seems to suggest that that would be a little isolated for two people as busy and prolific as Kanye and Kim Kardashian. But a project this large does seem to indicate that they’re planning to spend a lot more time on the ranch, in any case.

Wyoming Ranch Projects
The Wests' Wyoming ranch is more than just a retreat; it's becoming a monumental project. With plans for a massive mansion and additional guest houses, this development is designed to cater to the lifestyle of a music and fashion mogul. The ranch is located in Cody, Wyoming, and is one of two properties that Kanye owns in the area.
Currently, the existing structures on the ranch will be demolished to make way for the new 10-bedroom mansion that will serve as the family home. Alongside it, two lake houses are planned for guests, ensuring ample space for family and friends alike.
Construction Overview
As of now, construction on the new houses has not yet commenced. Before any building can take place, Kanye and his team must secure additional permits, including a wastewater permit for a new septic system. However, the essential building and zoning permits are already in place, paving the way for upcoming construction.
Interestingly, the plans also include two expansive underground garages, each roughly 10,000 square feet. This level of storage and space is indicative of Kanye's desire to create a luxurious and functional living environment on his ranch.
Future Plans for the Ranch
While details on the construction projects are still unfolding, the sheer scale of this endeavor suggests that the Wests intend to spend significant time at their Wyoming residence. Given their busy lifestyles, the idea of a permanent home in such a secluded area raises questions about the practicality for the couple.
Nonetheless, the investment into this ranch indicates a commitment to creating a sanctuary away from their bustling lives in the public eye. As developments progress, it will be fascinating to see how Kanye and Kim shape their new home and what it means for their future.
