The house is secondary here. Whatever shape it's in, whatever work it needs, that's not the point. The point is 107 acres in Wyoming for $129,000, with a solar and generator setup already in place, a wood stove, a 500-gallon water storage tank, septic, and a washer and dryer. Someone already laid the groundwork for living here without a utility company. That's the thing you're buying.
The 2009 build is 1,367 square feet with two bedrooms and one bath. The agent description uses "elbow grease" and "bring your vision," which is the industry shorthand for: the interior needs work and we're not going to tell you exactly how much. Systems are unknown from the listing data. The low-voltage refrigerator and freezer suggest the solar setup is functional but sized for efficiency, not abundance. You'd want to go in with eyes open and a real inspection.
The land sits in the WyTex Ranch area outside Albany, Wyoming, in antelope country. Unobstructed views for miles. That's not marketing language here, that's just what flat-to-rolling Wyoming land looks like when there's nothing blocking it. If you've been out there, you know what that means. If you haven't, it means the sky is the main feature and it's a big one.
At $129,000, the price per square foot runs about 31% above what little comparable data exists in this zip code. Two comps is a thin market, and the property has been sitting for 185 days against a median of 32. Nearly half of listings in this area have taken price drops. So the price has room in it, and the seller likely knows that.
What you're actually looking at is a foothold. A small house on a large piece of land with enough off-grid infrastructure to get you through seasons while you figure out what you want to do with the rest of it. For someone who wants to hunt, camp, build slowly, or just have a place in Wyoming that's theirs, 107 acres at this number is the kind of thing that doesn't come up often in a zip code with one sale on record.
