Deadman Ranch
A Riverfront Legacy with Private Air Access in the Heart of the Bridger-Teton
Tucked deep into Wyoming’s Greys River Valley—where the river still runs wild and wildlife outnumbers people—Deadman Ranch offers a rare opportunity to own nearly 100 acres of private land surrounded by millions more. Originally homesteaded in 1929 by the Robbins family, this exclusive property re-emerges today as a thoughtfully planned, fly-in mountain retreat designed for those seeking both rugged adventure and refined living.
Formerly known as “Renegade,” the ranch reclaims its historic name and spirit, standing as the only private residential development of its kind along the Greys River—a blue-ribbon fishery flowing through the southern end of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. With direct river access, off-grid infrastructure, and aviation-ready infrastructure featuring dual runways and helipad access, Deadman Ranch is built for those who want to disconnect without compromise—and invest in something truly enduring.
A Rare Offering in Wild Country
Deadman Ranch spans 96 deeded acres and includes .6 miles of Greys River frontage. It is a rare inholding within the Bridger-Teton National Forest, offering direct access to virtually limitless wilderness. Within the boundaries of the ranch are 17 solar-powered homesites, each connected to a shared water and sewer system and designed for full-time or seasonal living. Lot 10 is zoned commercial, presenting an opportunity for a visionary owner to complete the luxury lodge and create a wellness retreat or guest-ranch-style destination.
Improvements already in place include a framed 5,644 sq.ft. lodge, ready to be customized as a main residence, clubhouse, or hospitality centerpiece. The ranch also features a 6,400 sq.ft. aircraft hangar and a 1,800 sq.ft. equipment barn, supporting aviation infrastructure and year-round property management.
Private Aviation at Its Finest
While Deadman Ranch is remote by design, it remains exceptionally accessible—one of its most compelling advantages. The property includes two private airstrips: a 3,000-foot paved runway and a 1,500-foot grass strip, both fully maintained and operational. Additional aviation amenities include a helipad, weather station, and VFR flexibility system. At an elevation of 6,500 feet, it’s rare to find this level of aviation infrastructure so close to the Tetons.
The ranch’s $3.5 million airstrip system enables seamless travel from major western airports. It’s just a 20-minute flight from Jackson, WY, and less than an hour from Salt Lake City, UT. Whether you fly your own plane or charter in from a private FBO, you can land and walk straight to your lodge—fly rod in hand.
Greys River: A Year-Round Sportsman’s Paradise
The Greys River flows cold and clear year-round, supporting a thriving population of native Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout. Whether casting from shore or launching from the property’s private raft access area, anglers will find solitude and world-class dry-fly fishing in one of Wyoming’s most scenic valleys.
For hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding terrain offers access to some of the region’s best big game hunting, including trophy elk, moose, mule deer, and black bear. The ranch sits at the gateway to vast stretches of wilderness and is just minutes from extensive trail networks and public lands that support year-round outdoor recreation.
Come winter, the valley transforms into one of the premier snowmobiling destinations in the West. Framed by the Salt River Range to the west and the Wyoming Range to the east, the Greys River corridor sees deep, consistent snowfall each season. Groomed trails, expansive backcountry terrain, and spectacular alpine views draw riders of all levels. With easy access from Alpine, Afton, and Big Piney, it’s a true snowmobiler’s mecca—with both structured trail systems and off-trail powder for the adventurous.
Designed for Legacy, Built for Flexibility
Deadman Ranch balances the charm of a classic Western homestead with the foresight of modern planning. The homesites are flexible, allowing for expansive custom residences, guest cabins, hangars, and outbuildings. Snow removal and private road maintenance ensure year-round access, and Lot 10’s commercial zoning provides long-term potential—whether for a high-end retreat, rental-based hospitality model, or private event destination.
The partially completed lodge offers an immediate head start for those ready to put their personal stamp on the ranch without waiting through full design-build timelines. With energy, water, and road infrastructure already in place, Deadman Ranch is primed for both enjoyment and investment.
A Place to Disconnect and Reconnect
In a time when land, privacy, and access to the natural world are more valuable than ever, Deadman Ranch offers all three—wrapped in a package of aviation access, off-grid capability, and old-world Western authenticity. It’s the kind of place that becomes part of a family’s legacy: a sanctuary for generations to come, a place to fly in, slow down, and step into the wild beauty of Wyoming.
Whether envisioned as a private family compound, a conservation-minded homestead, or the next great Western resort, Deadman Ranch offers a foundation built not just on land—but on history, stewardship, and opportunity.
