Fay Ranches

Fay Ranches specializes in buying, selling, and marketing hunting properties—from intimate 150-acre retreats to sprawling 30,000+ acre operations. They work with landowners and buyers across the United States, Alaska, Canada, and Costa Rica, connecting serious hunters and investors with properties that match their vision.

Fay Ranches isn't a hunting outfitter or guide service. They're a real estate brokerage focused exclusively on hunting and recreational land. Their team handles the entire transaction—from listing preparation and marketing to closing—for properties with hunting as a primary or secondary use. Whether you're selling a family hunting cabin or buying a trophy elk ranch, they manage the complexity of rural land transactions.

• •Big game hunting: Elk, mule deer, whitetail, antelope, moose, and bighorn sheep properties
• •Upland bird hunting: Pheasant, grouse, quail, and turkey ranches
• •Waterfowl hunting: Properties with wetland systems, marsh access, and duck habitat
• •Fly fishing and trout properties: Spring creeks, river frontage, and private pond systems
