He’s been thinking about buying a ranch for a long time as owning land is a quintessential American dream, especially in the American West. There are a myriad of motivations from living in a vast landscape, to stalking big game or trout, to sharing the values of good stewardship and preservation with family or friends, or to just explore. Now that you are ready, here are the four foremost questions we will ask to get started on this new venture of buying a ranch!
