The Wyoming farm ‘Little Yellowstone’ is for sale for $85 million
A large Wyoming ranch labeled “Little Yellowstone” recently sold for eight figures.
The sellers, identified as the May family, are seeking $85 million for the sprawling ranch that family members have lived in for nearly 130 years, according to its listing with Latham Jenkins of Live Water Properties.
The ranch, officially named “Antlers Ranch,” is near Meeteetse, a town south of Cody. It first appeared on the market in early August.
The grounds of Antlers Ranch extend over 16,000 acres. It controls more than 40,000, according to Live Water Properties.
“It has housing for its owners and workers and all the built infrastructure needed to be a successful farm,” the listing said.

Antlers Ranch has two owner residences, as well as a bunkhouse, duplex and two ranch-style homes. The main owner’s home, built in the early 1930s, was renovated 12 years ago, according to the listing.
The farm’s scenery and the wildlife that people can encounter are what helped earn it the nickname “Little Yellowstone”.
The listing said Antlers Ranch is “part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem of 22 million acres.” The nearly 3,500-square-mile Yellowstone National Park sits at the center of the vast area.
Elk, moose, eagles, deer and gray wolves are among some of the 330 species found on Antlers Ranch lands, according to the list. It says that cutthroat trout and other fish also swim in the river and the three streams that pass through this area.

It crosses federal or federally protected lands for about 63 miles.
The listing described the entire Antler Ranch as “a working ranch and wildlife sanctuary where everything is balanced.”
The property provides many sources of income from buffalo, grass, minerals, stones and hunting and fishing, it said.
“We’ve had buyers wanting to visit the farm since it launched, but many wanted to wait until after the election to make a decision,” Jenkins told FOX Business.
“Now, after the election, we have noticed a huge increase in sincere interest and new leads,” he continued. “We may have a new owner in the spring.”
