Wild Horse Ranch
Big acreage, bigger views — 15 minutes west of Laramie, in the shadow of Sheep Mountain.
What it's like out here
The first thing people notice at Wild Horse Ranch isn't a thing at all — it's the quiet. Drive through the gate, let the pavement turn to gravel, and the view opens up: Sheep Mountain's timbered slopes on one side, the Snowy Range stacked on the horizon, and grassland rolling between them. Then, more often than not, you'll spot the reason for the name — the resident herd of horses, grazing like they own the place. (Fair enough. They were here first.)
This is genuine Wyoming acreage living, but it isn't the middle of nowhere. Laramie — with the University of Wyoming, groceries, restaurants, and a hospital — is about fifteen minutes east. Lake Hattie and Twin Buttes are practically next door for fishing and paddling, Medicine Bow National Forest fills the western skyline, and in winter the Snowy Range ski area is a day trip you'll actually make.
Most parcels run 35 to 45 acres — enough room for horses of your own, a shop, and a house positioned exactly where the view is best. Some tracts touch the water. Some border public land. A few have custom homes already standing, like the mountain-modern builds you'll see in the listings below.
Mariah spends more time in Wild Horse Ranch than any other subdivision she works — walking raw land with buyers, listing custom homes, and helping owners figure out what their ground is worth. If you're curious about a specific tract, she's probably stood on it.

Wild Horse Ranch FAQ
Where is Wild Horse Ranch?
Wild Horse Ranch is a large-acreage subdivision about 15 minutes west of Laramie, Wyoming, at the foot of Sheep Mountain. You reach it off Highway 230, and the entrance is marked by the timber-frame gate you'll recognize from the photos.
How big are the parcels?
Most tracts run roughly 35 to 45 acres. Some border public land, and a handful sit on or near the water — Twin Buttes Lake and Lake Hattie are both close by, and a few parcels have private lake frontage.
Are there really wild horses?
Yes — a resident herd roams the ranch, along with antelope, deer, and elk moving through the foothills. It's normal to have horses wander past your build site while you're walking a property.
Can I build a home there? What about utilities?
Wild Horse Ranch is a mix of vacant land and finished custom homes. Utilities vary parcel by parcel — power runs along some roads and is being extended along others, and most homes use wells and septic. Covenants protect property values while staying friendly to rural living. Ask Mariah about the current status for any specific tract, since it genuinely differs lot to lot.
What does land in Wild Horse Ranch cost?
As of mid-2026, vacant 35–45 acre tracts have generally been listing in the low-to-mid $100Ks, with premium lakefront ground higher, and finished custom homes at $1M+. Inventory moves, so check the current listings on this page — they update from the MLS.
