Kanye West handed over the keys to his $14 million Wyoming retreat after the sprawling Bighorn Mountain Ranch, once central to his off-the-grid ambitions, was reclaimed by its original owners following years of neglect.
The 6,700-acre property, nestled in the remote countryside near Cody, Wyoming, has officially returned to Greg and Pam Flitner, the same family who sold it to Kanye West in 2019. The Flitners were disheartened by the ranch’s deteriorated state. West originally bought the Bighorn property shortly after acquiring the nearby Monster Lake Ranch, where he had unveiled ambitious plans to construct dome-shaped shelters aimed at addressing homelessness. However, those plans stalled amid personal and public turmoil, including his high-profile divorce from Kim Kardashian and the fallout from his antisemitic remarks in 2022. Despite the condition of the land, the Flitners expressed no bitterness toward the rapper and producer.
