About this home
Where the Wind River Range meets the wild heart of Wyoming. Maki Creek Ranch is 500+/- acres of rolling aspen groves, sage-scented hills, and three untamed miles of trout-rich North Cottonwood Creek, bordering the Bridger National Forest with limitless backcountry beyond. Elk bugle at dawn. Antelope drift across golden flats. Cutthroat trout rise in cottonwood-shaded pools. Moose, bear, and wolves roam free; sage grouse drum at sunrise. This is a blank canvas for a world-class hunting retreat or working cattle ranch, with prime creekside building sites framing sweeping views of the Wind River and Gros Ventre Ranges. Rare. Remote. Ready for your legacy. The Full Story
There are ranches, and then there is Maki Creek Ranch -- 1,580+/- acres of pure, unfiltered Wyoming wilderness, where the land doesn't just border the wild, it is the wild.
A River Runs Through It
North Cottonwood Creek doesn't just touch this property -- it owns nearly three miles of it, winding through the heart of the ranch like a vein of liquid silver, shaded by towering cottonwoods that have stood sentinel for generations. Maki Creek slips in from the northwest to join it, braiding two waterways into one unforgettable centerpiece. Cast a line here and you're not fishing a stocked pond -- you're chasing wild cutthroat and rainbow trout in water clear enough to see your own reflection staring back, daring you to stay just one more hour.
Where the Mountains Watch Over You
Stand anywhere on this ranch and turn east: the jagged, snow-streaked spine of the Wind River Range rises against the sky. Turn north: the Gros Ventre Range answers in kind. This isn't a property with a view -- it's a property surrounded by views, with prime creekside building sites just waiting for a home that deserves a window in every direction.
And the land doesn't stop at the fence line. Maki Creek Ranch shares a border with the Bridger National Forest, which means your 1,580 acres are really just the beginning. Beyond it: thousands more acres of public land, untouched and unclaimed, yours to roam without a single No Trespassing sign in sight.
A Hunter's Fever Dream
This is the kind of ground that makes serious hunters weak in the knees.
Elk -- Over-the-counter tags in Unit 92, no draw, no waiting, just go.
Antelope -- Unit 88 offers a draw with excellent odds at trophy bucks that other hunters spend years chasing.
Mule Deer -- Unit 142, general over-the-counter tags, classic Wyoming high-country deer hunting.
And beyond the big three: moose, black bear, and the haunting call of wolves at dusk. Waterfowl drop into the creek bottoms. Sage grouse drum and dance across the open flats at first light.
Whether you're the kind of hunter who wants a guaranteed elk tag in your pocket every fall or someone chasing the elusive trophy antelope, this ranch delivers both -- without ever leaving your own land.
Built for Cattle, Built for Legacy
Beyond the recreation, this is genuine working ground. Rolling hills carpeted in native grasses and sagebrush, interspersed with aspen groves and conifer stands, create exactly the kind of varied terrain and forage that makes for a serious cattle operation -- pasture, shelter, and water, all in one self-contained system.
The Setting: Big Piney, Wyoming
This is big sky country in the truest sense. Big Piney sits in Sublette County, where winters arrive with real teeth -- lows around 5°F and a blanket of snow -- and summers settle into mild, golden days near 80°F with crisp, star-filled nights. Annual precipitation is sparse, just 10 inches, which keeps the air dry, the skies impossibly clear, and the Milky Way close enough to touch.
You're 35 miles from Pinedale for groceries, gear, and gas. Ninety miles from Jackson Hole, with all the dining, shopping, and Teton scenery that implies. Jackson Hole Airport sits about 100 miles out for easy air travel, while Salt Lake City International offers a bigger hub roughly 220 miles southwest.
It's remote enough to feel like your own private kingdom, but close enough that civilization is never more than an afternoon away.
The Bottom Line
Maki Creek Ranch isn't just land -- it's an invitation. An invitation to fish a creek most anglers only dream about. To hunt elk, antelope, and deer on tags that don't require a lottery win. To build a home with the Wind River and Gros Ventre Ranges as your permanent backdrop. To run cattle on grass that's been waiting generations for the right hands.
This is 500+/- acres of unclaimed Wyoming legend. The only question left is whether it's yours....
