This Wyoming Ranch Is So Big It Has Its Own Vacation House-and It Just Hit the Market for $79 Million

"The property, which spans Natrona, Carbon, Sweetwater, and Fremont Counties, is made up of four properties, including what Swan Land Company calls the "heart" of the property, Two Crosses. It encompasses 25,000 acres of its own, including the 6,579-square-foot Great Pathfinder Lodge, which has nine bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms. It also has seven additional ranch houses for employees and a massive indoor riding arena for training horses all year long."

"There's even a 3,556-square-foot hunting lodge on this property, complete with six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, ideal for taking a vacation on your own land. Then, there's Dumbell Ranch, which has a main house, a bunkhouse, a mobile home for employees, several historic barns, and corrals, and even a few working shops. The Turkey Track Ranch has three of its own ranch houses, while The Wooden Rifle Unit features a main house, a bunkhouse, a shop, a storage building, a barn, and corrals."

"These units, Swan Land Company explained, are currently leased out as separate operating units, which help support its "robust" livestock program. (New owners can choose to keep these leases or terminate them with appropriate notice.)"
