Farm Four Times Bigger Than New York City Is Up for Sale for R$ 430 Million in the US. Property of 3,708 km² in Wyoming Includes Rivers, Lakes, Old West History, and Cattle Operations
A farm four times bigger than New York City has been announced for sale in the United States for R$ 430 million. Located in the state of Wyoming, the property known as Pathfinder Ranches brings together four distinct areas, occupies over 1% of the state’s territory, and maintains one of the largest cattle operations in the Rocky Mountains.
The announcement has attracted worldwide attention for its impressive dimensions and for gathering rare features: extensive pastures, rivers, lakes, a century-old history, and conservation restrictions that protect the local ecosystem. With 3,708 km², the ranch is larger than the state of Rhode Island and houses historical landmarks such as Independence Rock and Devil’s Gate Canyon.
Million-Dollar Structure and Life on the Ranch
At the heart of the farm four times bigger than New York City is the Two Crosses property, with over 10,000 hectares and a luxurious main lodge of 611 m², nine bedrooms, and seven bathrooms. There is also the Sand Creek Hunting Lodge, with six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and full facilities for life in the countryside, including a riding arena, church, workshops, and seven staff houses.

Raising tilapia, the most farmed fish in Brazil, with solar-powered tanks is a trend gaining strength in the field because the panels ensure water oxygenation in places without electricity and reduce costs, although profitability depends on management, feed, and market.

Now Brazil has moved up a level: flying robots are starting to be tested to harvest oranges on farms, selecting ripe fruits with cameras and sensors, sucking each fruit without dropping it, and promising to help producers in the face of labor shortages in orchards.

The landscape is marked by the Ferris, Pedro, and Green mountains, the Pathfinder Reservoir, and 32 kilometers of the Sweetwater River, which provide supply and recreational activities. In addition to cattle, the property maintains conservation areas in partnership with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, protecting species such as the prairie chicken.
History Linked to the Old West
The property’s past dates back to the 1870s, crossing iconic routes such as the Oregon Trail and Pony Express. Travelers from the westward expansion left historical records in the region’s stones, which today are part of the ranch’s natural and cultural collection.
According to Scott Williams, the broker in charge of the sale, the site can be described as “a pasture empire” that combines productivity, preservation, and a unique setting. He emphasizes that the offer is “a rare opportunity” for buyers seeking space, privacy, and productive potential.
Restrictions and Environmental Preservation
Despite its size and value, the farm four times bigger than New York City has strict conservation rules. The easements prevent subdivisions, cultivation of certain crops, and industrial projects, preserving the landscape and biodiversity.
These restrictions do not hinder commercial cattle use and guarantee water use rights from the Platte River basin since 1879, an important differential for the sustainability of livestock activities, especially during drought periods.
Opportunity for Investors and Countryside Enthusiasts
The sale attracts the interest of investors, billionaires, and countryside enthusiasts. According to Williams, it is the type of property that can both feed thousands of people and serve as a private retreat for those who value fresh air and open space.
And you? Would you be interested in investing in a property of this size? Do you think it is worth more for production or for its preservation potential? Share your thoughts in the comments.
