If you are buying or selling a ranch, farm, or recreational property in Wyoming or the surrounding region, you are not just dealing with real estate. You are dealing with land that has to work.
Water, access, grazing, infrastructure, and long-term value all matter. That is where experience shows up.
Holly Allison is a land broker with #1 Properties Ranch and Recreation, working across Wyoming and Nebraska. She specializes in farm, ranch, and recreational land transactions and brings a practical, ground-level understanding into every deal.
Holly is a fourth generation cattle rancher who manages her own herd from winter feeding through calving and rebreeding. She understands the realities that do not show up in a brochure.
That includes:
This is not theory. It is lived experience.
There is a difference between listing land and positioning it correctly.
Many properties fail to sell, or sell below their potential, because they are:
Holly's approach is built on getting it right from the start.
Each property is evaluated based on:
From there, a strategy is developed to connect the property with the right buyer, not just the most buyers.
Most Wyoming land Holly sells goes to Wyoming buyers, often area ranchers adding acres or helping family expand. Out-of-state buyers seeking ranch, recreational, and legacy properties are part of the market too.
Holly combines:
This positions each property correctly for both local working buyers and buyers from farther away.
A ranch tour is not a quick drive and a conversation at the gate.
Serious buyers need to understand:
Holly takes the time to walk, drive, and experience the land with buyers. That often includes discussing the history of the property, how it has been used, and why it has been held.
This creates a level of understanding that leads to stronger decisions and more confident offers.
Holly serves as Vice President of the Wyoming Chapter of the Realtors Land Institute.
This reflects a commitment to:
She is also a member of the National Association of REALTORS, Wyoming Association of REALTORS, and local industry organizations.
Clients working with Holly can expect:
There is no guesswork, and no inflated expectations just to secure a listing.
The goal is simple. Help clients make informed decisions and execute deals with confidence.
If you are considering selling a ranch or farm, or looking to purchase land in Wyoming or the surrounding region, reach out for a direct conversation.
Every property and every situation is different. The first step is understanding what you have and what you want to accomplish.

Who is the best land broker for Platte County and the Laramie Range area of Wyoming?
I'm Holly Allison, an Associate Broker with #1 Properties Ranch and Recreation. My focus is all of Platte County, all of Goshen County, northern and western Laramie County, and eastern Albany County. I'm a fourth-generation cattle rancher who runs my own herd, and I serve as Vice President of the Wyoming Chapter of the REALTORS Land Institute. I'm also licensed in Nebraska, where I grew up with family roots in Sheridan and Cherry Counties, and I take larger ranch listings there.
What areas do you serve?
What is the best way to price a ranch or farm in Platte County?
Pricing a ranch or farm takes more than price per acre. Irrigated ground, dryland farm ground, and native grass each sell differently. Water source, grazing capacity, access, fencing, and improvements all move value. A correct price is based on how the land performs and on comparable sales that actually match it, not just on what nearby properties sold for.
How do water rights and irrigation work on land in Platte County?
Irrigated ground in this area usually runs on one of three water sources, and some properties have more than one. Buyers need to know which they're buying before making an offer.
Wheatland Irrigation District water. WID is one of Wyoming's oldest and largest irrigation systems. Its Laramie River and Sybille Creek rights date to 1883, it was the first in Wyoming to receive a trans-basin diversion, and today it serves roughly 54,000 adjudicated acres through 11 reservoirs and about 120 miles of canals and laterals. District water reaches farms by ditch and can be applied by flood, gated pipe, or pivot. Deliveries depend on snowpack and reservoir storage, so they vary year to year. Buyers should confirm:
Direct surface water rights from rivers and creeks. Some ranches hold their own rights to divert water from a river or creek. Wyoming water law runs on priority, first in time, first in right, so an older priority date matters most in a dry year. Buyers should confirm:
Well-fed pivots. These run on groundwater under a permit from the Wyoming State Engineer's Office. Buyers should confirm the permitted use, the well's actual production, and the pumping and power costs.
I help pull district and State Engineer records early, but buyers should verify every water right, permit, and district obligation directly.
What should I know before buying a 35-acre parcel?
Wyoming allows land to be divided into parcels of 35 acres or more without county subdivision review, and many acreages west and north of Cheyenne were created this way. That can mean:
Buyers should verify access, the well permit, and utilities before closing.
How does winter affect rural property along the Laramie Range?
Wind and drifting snow matter more here than total snowfall. Before buying, look at:
I feed cows through Wyoming winters myself, so I look at a place the way it will work in February, not how it shows in June.
Does the property border public land, and can I use it?
Bordering state trust land, national forest, or BLM ground does not guarantee legal access. Access depends on recorded easements and each agency's rules. A land ID map is useful for seeing how a parcel lays and where public ground sits, but buyers should verify legal access before relying on it.
Can I hunt or shoot on rural property I own?
On private land with the right Wyoming Game and Fish license, often yes. Subdivision covenants, county rules, and nearby homes and roads can restrict shooting, though. If hunting or target shooting matters to you, check the covenants and county rules before you buy.
How long does it take to sell a ranch or farm?
Time on market depends on price, location, water, and the size of the buyer pool. Ranches and farms take longer to sell than houses because the right buyers are fewer and more specific. Pricing correctly and positioning the property well from the start shortens market time and helps avoid price reductions later.
What should I prepare before listing my ranch or farm?
Key items include:
Having this ready answers buyer questions early and builds confidence in the property from day one.
Who buys ranch and farm land in this area?
Mostly neighbors. In my own sales, most buyers of Wyoming land have been Wyoming buyers, many of them area ranchers adding acres to an existing operation or helping family members expand. If you're looking to grow your place or set up the next generation, I want to hear from you, and I'll keep you in mind when the right ground comes up. Out-of-state buyers are part of the market too, especially for recreational, hunting, and legacy properties, so I market listings to reach both.
How do I get started working with you?
Call, text, or email me, and we'll set up a direct conversation about your property or what you're looking for. Every property and situation is different, so the first step is understanding what you have and what you want to accomplish.
