Horse property with outbuildings near Cheyenne
Every so often a property comes along that does not make you choose. You want the finished home, but you also need real space for the horse, the trailer, the shop, and everything else that a full life in Wyoming collects. Usually you pick two out of four and settle on the rest. At 1688 Espen Trail, just north of Cheyenne, you do not have to settle.
This is a custom 2022 ranch home on 4.89 fully fenced acres in Little Bear Estates, and it is one of the rare properties in the area where the outbuildings are as finished as the house. It is offered at $1,299,000.
A home that feels calm the minute you walk in
The home lives easy on a single level. You come through an iron-and-glass front door into a vaulted great room anchored by a stacked-stone gas fireplace, with west-facing windows that catch the Wyoming sunset over open pasture. The kitchen is built for people: a solid-granite island and breakfast bar, a gas cooktop, a vented hood, a pantry, and a dining area that flows right off the great room.
The primary suite is itsown quiet corner, with a five-piece bath, a separate shower, and his-and-hers walk-in closets. Three bedrooms sit on the main level, with two more in the fully finished basement, each with an egress window and a closet, plus a living area, an office, and a wet bar. Wood-look floors run throughout, and the systems are current and low-maintenance: on-demand tankless hot water, a water softener, central air, a 50-year hail-rated roof, fiber-optic internet, and a three-car attached garage that is finished and heated.
The part you cannot fake: the outbuildings
Here is where this property separates itself. Two insulated outbuildings flank the home, both matched to it in stone and steel, and each has its own gated, fenced access.
The larger barn is set up like someone who actually uses a barn, built it. Two box stalls open off a wide center aisle, there is a wash bay with hot and cold water and a trenched drain, tack and feed rooms are already in place, and a large heated shop with a full bath means a working day does not have to stop when the weather turns. Tall drive-through doors let a trailer pull straight through. The second building handles the RV, the gooseneck, and the gear, with a 30-amp plug, and it clears a full living-quarters horse trailer with room to spare. Frost-free hydrants are set across the property, the perimeter is luxury vinyl fenced, and the drives are paved and gated.
Close to town, but it does not feel like it
The property sits on open Wyoming prairie with long views to the west today. It is about half a mile from the Little Bear Inn, one of the best steaks in the region, and about 5.5 miles from Cheyenne, where you have Starbucks and an Albertsons grocery. The roads are paved the whole way. You get the quiet and the space without a long haul every time you need a gallon of milk.
Who it is really for
The honest answer is that this property fits more than one kind of buyer, and that is its strength. It suits someone who wants a finished luxury home with genuine shop space, a collector who needs secure, insulated buildings, an RV or toy-hauler owner, a personal dog owner who wants room and a wash bay, or a 4-H family. It also fits someone who simply wants to keep a horse or two close to home.
We will be straight with you on the horse question, because a good agent should be. Five acres near Cheyenne will not grow enough grass to graze a string of horses. What this property does beautifully is give you a first-class place to keep a horse or two, a lay-up or seasonal spot, or a soft landing for a retired horse. The Little Bear Estates covenants allow up to three horses and other 4-H animals within set limits, for personal use, so it is worth reading the covenants for how you plan to use it. Buyer to verify all permitted uses.

Some properties photograph well and disappoint in person. This one is the opposite: the more of it you walk, the more it adds up. If you have been waiting for a place with a finished home and outbuildings you can actually put to work, 1688 Espen Trail is worth the drive.
