Kanye West has officially sold his second Wyoming ranch, Bighorn Mountain Ranch, marking the end of his rural retreat era. The property, which the rapper bought for $14 million in 2019, has now returned to its original owners, the Flitner family.
The sale was notarized on September 17 by West’s wife, Bianca Censori, and finalized in October. This move signals yet another step in West’s ongoing effort to shed properties and simplify his real estate portfolio.
Back to the Flitners
Before West’s purchase, the sprawling Bighorn Mountain Ranch—known for its breathtaking views and rustic luxury—belonged to David and Paula Flitner. Now, ownership has returned to their son Greg Flitner and his wife, Pam.
The ranch’s listing describes it as a paradise of “rolling grass-covered hills, deep tree-lined canyons, and wildlife-filled bluffs.” The property includes a five-bedroom log home, a cookhouse cabin, and several cozy lodges capable of housing up to six guests.
Although the original listing price was $16.9 million, the Flitners purchased it back for the same $14 million they sold it for.
Monster Lake Ranch Still on the Market
This isn’t Kanye’s only Wyoming property. His first purchase, Monster Lake Ranch near Cody, is still for sale at $12 million. West initially listed it in 2021 for $11 million after buying it for $14 million in 2019.
At the height of his Wyoming adventure, West also bought a large warehouse in Cody and envisioned building a “Yeezy Campus” for his brand’s production. Those plans, however, never fully materialized.
A Glimpse into the Wyoming Years
During his Wyoming chapter, Kanye often hosted high-profile guests, including Justin Bieber, while his then-wife Kim Kardashian and their children occasionally joined him. The couple spent memorable family moments on the ranches before their eventual split.
Locals in the small Wyoming communities were reportedly welcoming despite the celebrity attention. “Whenever he buys something in town, everyone talks about it,” a source told in 2019. “But everyone is very welcoming to it.”
Moving Forward
Now that Kanye West has let go of another piece of his Wyoming dream, fans can’t help but wonder what’s next. With Monster Lake Ranch still on the market and his creative focus shifting elsewhere, it seems the once self-proclaimed “ranch visionary” is turning the page on this rustic era of his life.
Conclusion
Kanye West’s sale of Bighorn Mountain Ranch back to its original owners marks a symbolic closing of one of his most surprising chapters. From rural living and Yeezy dreams to family getaways, Wyoming was a backdrop for both his creativity and transformation. Now, as he moves forward, one thing’s for sure—the world will be watching his next big move.
