A sprawling Wyoming ranch long owned by late Texas oil heiress, horse breeder, philanthropist, and prolific art patron Anne Windfohr Marion has gone on the market. This property, located near the Grand Teton Mountains just north of downtown Jackson, has been listed for $45 million. It has four contiguous parcels that can be bought in smaller two-parcel blocks for $27.5 million and $23 million respectively.
Although the ranch is best known for its spring-fed creeks and exceptional fishing ponds, it is also home to an abundance of wildlife, including elk, deer, and moose, as well as bald eagles and bears from time to time. In addition, Marion left behind several personal residences spanning the globe when she died earlier this year of lung cancer at age 81.
The great-granddaughter of Samuel “Burk” Burnett, founder of Four Sixes Ranch in northern Texas, Marion served as president of Burnett Ranches and chairman of Burnett Oil Co., as well as president of Burnett Foundation. As well as founding the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, N.M., she also founded the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. There are several homes in her vast portfolio, including Four Sixes, a 480,000-acre ranch in Fort Worth; a Fifth Avenue apartment in New York; a mansion in Indian Wells’ guarded Vintage Club; and her primary residence, a modernist, 19,000-square-foot house in the Westover Hills neighborhood of Fort Worth designed by noted architect I.M. Pei for her mother in the late 1960s.
In addition to a paneled study leading to a second private patio with a fireplace, the kitchen features granite countertops, an island, and stainless appliances, as well as a breakfast nook and a butler’s pantry. A whole-house generator, a temperature-controlled wine room, and an office with built-in bookshelves are also included in the amenities. There are four ensuite bedrooms, including a master suite with picture windows and a sitting area, as well as two separate bathrooms – one with a steam shower, two closets, and an additional sitting area.
