Ranch Manager Couple – Full-Time (On-Site, Year-Round)
Location: Afton, Wyoming
Compensation: $50,000/year + Housing (Required)


Overview

We are seeking a highly capable, self-sufficient ranch manager couple to take full ownership of a private ranch property.

This is a hands-on role, not supervisory. The right couple will operate the property day-to-day with minimal direction and maintain a consistently high standard across all areas.

This position requires a long-term, full-time commitment on-site. It is not seasonal or rotational.


What This Role Requires

You will be responsible for ensuring the property is:

  • Fully functional (nothing broken, everything operational)
  • Well maintained (grounds, structures, equipment)
  • Consistently clean and organized (homes, cabins, work areas)

Core Responsibilities

Irrigation & Grounds (Daily Priority)

  • Monitor irrigation systems daily and ensure full coverage
  • Identify and correct dry spots, leaks, or inefficiencies immediately
  • Maintain grass and landscaping to a high standard

Equipment & Maintenance

  • Operate and maintain tractors, mowers, side-by-sides, and other equipment
  • Perform routine and intermediate repairs (mechanical, plumbing, electrical)
  • Keep all equipment in ready-to-use condition at all times

Property Upkeep

  • Maintain roads, fences, buildings, and general infrastructure
  • Proactively identify and address issues before they become problems

House & Guest Readiness

  • Maintain homes and cabins in clean, ready condition
  • Handle cleaning, linens, and turnover as needed

General Management

  • Work independently without daily oversight
  • Coordinate contractors when required
  • Take full ownership of property condition

Required Qualifications

  • Must apply as a couple willing to live on-site full-time, year-round
  • Proven experience managing a ranch, estate, or large property
  • Strong irrigation and equipment experience preferred
  • Comfortable working in remote conditions and Wyoming winters
  • Self-directed, reliable, and detail-oriented

What We Are Looking For

  • A couple that operates as a true team with clear roles
  • A “see it, fix it” mindset without needing instruction
  • Pride in maintaining a property at a high standard
  • Long-term stability and commitment

Important

This is a full-time, year-round, on-site role.
Applicants seeking seasonal, rotational, or part-time arrangements will not be considered.


To Apply

Please include:

  • Experience and background for both individuals
  • Current location
  • Availability
  • Confirmation of willingness to relocate and live on-site full-time

We are looking for a long-term fit and will be selective in the process.
