Wild Horse Ranch
Big acreage and bigger views, fifteen minutes west of Laramie in the shadow of Sheep Mountain.
What it's like out here
Ask people what struck them first about Wild Horse Ranch and most will say the quiet. Drive through the gate, let the pavement turn to gravel, and the whole basin opens up. Sheep Mountain rises on one side. The Snowy Range stacks up on the horizon. The grass rolls out between them. Odds are good you'll also meet the namesakes, a herd of horses grazing like they own the place. Fair enough. They were here first.
It feels remote, but it isn't. Laramie sits about fifteen minutes east, with the University of Wyoming, groceries, restaurants, and a hospital. Lake Hattie and Twin Buttes are close enough for an after-dinner fishing trip. Medicine Bow National Forest fills the view to the west, and in winter the Snowy Range ski area makes an easy day trip.
Most parcels run 35 to 45 acres. That's room for horses of your own, a shop, and a house set exactly where the view is best. Some tracts touch water. Some border public land. A few already have custom homes standing, like the mountain builds you'll see in the listings below.
Mariah spends more time in Wild Horse Ranch than any other subdivision she works. She walks raw land with buyers, lists the custom homes, and helps owners figure out what their ground is worth. If you're curious about a specific tract, there's a decent chance she has 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. You'll know you've arrived when you see the big timber gate from the photos.
How big are the parcels?
Most tracts run 35 to 45 acres. Some border public land. A handful sit on or near the water, since 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 while you're out 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 by parcel. Power runs along some roads and is being extended along others, and most homes are on wells and septic systems. There are covenants, but they stay friendly to rural living. Ask Mariah about any specific tract, because the details really do differ lot to lot.
What does land in Wild Horse Ranch cost?
As of mid-2026, vacant 35 to 45 acre tracts have mostly been listing in the low to mid $100Ks. Lakefront ground runs higher, and finished custom homes have listed at $1M and up. Inventory moves, so check the listings on this page. They come from the MLS.
Buying acreage
Buying land out here? Start with these four checks
Wild Horse Ranch is rural ground, so a few details deserve a look before you write an offer.
Water
Wyoming requires a State Engineer permit before a well is drilled. If a tract has a well, ask for the permit and the well record.
Septic
Septic systems need a permit before construction starts. Check the process with the county before you plan your build.
Power and access
Ask the power provider where lines end and what it costs to reach your building site. Confirm legal access in writing.
Covenants
Read the recorded covenants before you offer. They can shape home size, outbuildings, and animals.
