Immerse Yourself in the Heart of Yellowstone at the Luxurious Heart of Yellowstone Ranch

Escape to a Rustic-Chic Ranch Retreat

Welcome to the Heart of Yellowstone Ranch, a stunning 7,000-square-foot, two-story custom ranch house that offers an unparalleled escape into the serene beauty of the Wyoming wilderness. Nestled amidst the iconic Native American mountain known as Four Tops Father, now recognized as Heart Mountain, the McCullough Peaks, and the Beartooth Mountains, this extraordinary property seamlessly blends unspoiled nature with sustainable, modern design.

Discover the Spirit of the Old West

As you step through the natural wood-encased entry portal, you'll be transported back in time to the rugged charm of the American frontier. The expansive 16-foot high curved ceilings of the living room, with their floor-to-ceiling windows, provide breathtaking vistas of the tree-lined streams below and the vast, unbroken prairie that stretches to the distant plateau.

The heart of the ranch is the spacious chef's kitchen, anchored by a massive granite-topped island and a bespoke inlaid dining table that seats up to 14 guests. The interior design enhances the natural wonders, blending rustic comfort with tasteful elegance. Soft turquoise cabinets pay tribute to the indigenous people who once followed the bison across the Yellowstone Country, while a hand-painted Western mural celebrates the land, flora, and fauna of the Big Horn Basin.

Unwind Under the Wyoming Sky

Venture out to the 900-square-foot upper deck to gaze up at the unobstructed Wyoming sky, free from light pollution. Stargaze at the Milky Way, spot constellations, and on rare occasions, witness the mesmerizing Northern Lights. Cozy up to the fire pit, relax in the log swing, or dine al fresco at the outdoor table for six while enjoying a delicious barbecue prepared on the provided XL Green Egg grill.

In the mornings, you might be treated to the sight of deer grazing near the lower stream, pronghorn antelope along the rise, or the serenade of meadowlarks echoing across the prairie. With 100 windows lining the curving two-story south wall, each room offers unique views and different perspectives of the breathtaking natural surroundings.

Luxurious Accommodations for the Discerning Traveler

The Heart of Yellowstone Ranch boasts seven bedrooms, two extra rooms with bunk beds, and six and a half bathrooms, providing ample space for families, groups, or those seeking a peaceful retreat. The upper floor features the Asian Primary Bedroom with a luxury bathroom, double vanity sink, double-head shower, soaking tub, and a large walk-in closet.

Descend the open stairway to the lower floor, where you'll find a large rec room with a stacked stone fireplace, a cowboy bar, and a 16-seat theater room.
