We live in Laramie and own a home in town. We also have a 40 acre parcel in Wild Horse Ranch. It is beautiful, we love the views that we got and hope that in the future we can build a weekend cabin there. From our lot we can see the lake and watch the sun set over the Snowy Range. It is quite beautiful!

I think if people are interested they should come see it for themselves and do the research. There are homes being built and wells going in. Lake Hattie (actually a resevoir) was filled up quite a bit this summer due to surplus rain so that was really neat to see! The horses are actually rescue horses that are allowed to run the ranch. The caretaker is there to feed and immunize the animals but they do run free and it's quite a sight...soooo pretty!

I think it's a unique opportunity for people to own a very nice piece of land. There are challenges to building there (lots of site prep!!) but nothing that can't be figured out with a little work. I am super happy I bought there! (And in case you're wondering, no I don't work for Brooks! ha ha)

That's my 2 cents....

40 acre development just great for the counties... the property taxes need to be raised for the actual cost in the long run. UW study for every $ in property tax on ag land less the 90 cents in services. After a subdivision taxes went up but for every dollar collected $2.50 in sevices....
Wyohill do you get a commsion
Any guess you started the 40 acre deal.... hint a real rich famly, gee even have a Magazine named after them

Good Lord, the WHR people sure generate a lot of spam! When people with one or two posts wax eloquent on the merits of both the property and the agency....how ignorant do they think people are?

NM has the same issues, with *beautiful, wonderful, fabulous* property marketed primarily to out of staters (I was inundated with mailings before we moved here) with easy own terms. Ebay is full of 'em too.

They aren't wild. They were owned by someone, who didn't take care of them and are rescued!

I gotta smile - I know I have only posted once but promise I am not a spammer or get a commission. I am a local owner of a parcel at WHR. We bought the parcel 2 years ago and I think I got a nice little piece of land - I love it! I didn't tell anyone to buy the land, I said if you're interested be sure to check it out first.

I know some people don't like WHR or feel that it should have stayed undeveloped. But there are people who own the property and like it and I'm one of them. I posted because I thought I'd help out whoever wanted to get info about the place.

It's funny, I feel compelled to meet people for a coffee or something to prove I am a real person. Sorry for any skepticism I may have caused, maybe if I post some more I'll have more 'street cred' on public message boards. Maybe I'll do that... God Bless you guys!!!
