Is Wyoming all wolves and wind? (Sheridan, Cody: home, gated, subdivision)

Something decent in the $300,000 to $400,000 range with 1-5 acres + and 2 car attached garage in rural area.

1-5 acres in a rural area will be in a subdivision , other wise it be 35-40 and those area don't plan on a lawn mower , because you won't be able to grow a lawn..

I am not the gardner type but need the land as a cushion for privacy and space.
I don't want to live in a subdivision where I have neighbors next to me and we share the same road.

(That's what I live in now) I have to worry about backing out of my own driveway so I don't get hit by traffic or hit a pedestrian.

Let me know if you find that spot for 300K w/o a lawn or neighbors. I don't see anything in that range except junkers on/near a Rez, or on a seasonal use only road, or Off Grid. Same goes for the Olympic Peninsula around WA state.

What you seem to be looking for, pricewise, seems to say the central Basin, like Thermopolis, Worland, and Powell. Rural, with a mixture arid regions, hills, river valleys, mountains to the east and south, some gas, some agriculture.

Here is a nice little place above Thermopolis. 2 neighboring houses so this may not be it, but it is out of, and above, the town (across the road from the cemetery), and beside the small airport there. This gives you an idea of what you may get in that area for that price:

One thing to keep in mind about more rural and modestly priced properties: Unless there is some special reason for demand, they can sit on the market for a longer time when you decide to sell. The number of folks moving in and out or rural areas tends to be a lot smaller. So, for many buyers, sometimes it pays to pay a bit higher price for a niftier house or special setting, so it will have something that makes it more attractive to the next buyer. And, while you may not need it, stick with 3BR houses, rather than 1BR or 2 BR's; the overall demand will always be more.

Not all subdivisions look alike, even in Wyoming. But it is important to understand how land is divided up and sold in different states.


If average parcel size is 1 acre, 5 acres or more it will look different than a urban or suburban division of higher or much higher density.
Homeowner associations however might make it feel closer to the same.


Small acreage outside of a subdivision may exist that came before existing laws or somehow exceptions to them but generally they are less common than in subdivisions.


A rural subdivision that doesn't have many natural trees or hasn't had 20-50-100 plus years to grow planted ones will look & feel closer together than one full of trees (like many other parts of country).


If you want privacy, you'll probably want to be in the forest or up a canyon. And may need more land or a public land border.

Wyoming also has fossils if you are into that. :-)

Thanks
From what I can see this looks fine. I would be more interested to see what the area is and according to the aerial map that looks fine since you don't have neighbors close by like in a subdivision.
The price is perfect. But I wonder how old and what is the age of this house?

That’s the old airstrip, closed in 2015. No longer in use, no planes flying there anymore.
