Kanye West bought his second Wyoming ranch, TMZ reported on November 18.
West purchased Bighorn Mountain Ranch, which was listed for $14.495 million.
The ranch sits on 6,713 acres, with a five-bedroom, four-bathroom main house, in addition to three cabins which can fit between four and six guests each.
According to the listing, the property is located just outside of Greybull, Wyoming, an area known for its striking natural landscapes.
Back in September, West bought Monster Lake Ranch, which had an asking price of $14 million, in nearby Cody, Wyoming.

Kanye West has bought another pricey ranch in Wyoming - under 100 miles away from the $14 million Monster Lake Ranch he already purchased a few months ago.
TMZ reported on November 18 that the rapper spent $14.495 million on a 6,713-acre ranch known as Bighorn Mountain Ranch.
In addition to the ranch, PEOPLE reports that West also bought a warehouse in Cody.
It is unclear what the rapper is trying to do with all of these properties, but he had announced plans to build an amphitheater on Monster Lake Ranch before he was denied the permit, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday.
The ranch sits on 6,713 acres and is located under 100 miles away from the other ranch West bought in September, which had an asking price of $14 million.
In a separate area, there's the Snowshoe Lodge, a three-bedroom and three-bath home, and three additional cabins that can fit between two and four people each. The main lodge even has a wet bar in the basement and an adjoining walk-in sauna that can be used year-round.
The surrounding area is known for its bustling wildlife, with the property listing stating that 3,500 elk are said to travel within region, and that as many as 2,000 of them use the ranch. The nearby creeks are also home to brown and rainbow trout, which can be fished year-round.
There is an additional cookhouse cabin, which can fit two people, and a more rustic "Cow Camp" cabin. Among the more modern property amenities are heated helicopter pads.00
Business Insider previously reported that Kanye's other ranch, Monster Lake Ranch, has a restaurant and saloon, horse barns, an office building, and a shooting range on site.
The ranch is located in an area known for its scenic and natural beauty.
Situated close to White Creek, the ranch is also near scenic hiking trails, canyons, meadows, and grassy hills.
In an interview with West for Vogue Arabia, his wife Kim Kardashian West revealed that she could see their family living in Wyoming full time one day.
"I see us living on a ranch in Wyoming, occasionally going to Palm Springs and our home in Los Angeles — and becoming a lawyer," Kardashian West said when her husband asked how she sees herself in 10 years' time.
But what is the "Jesus is King" rapper intending to do with all these Wyoming properties? Business Insider previously reported on West's recent ranch-buying trend.
A source told PEOPLE that West wants Bighorn to be the permanent venue for his Sunday Services, a pop-up church service.
On the larger ranch real-estate trend, Business Insider's Libertina Brandt cited a Wall Street Journal report which notes that luxury ranches have become less appealing to younger generations, citing the labor and money which must be spent to operate and maintain the massive proprieties.
As a result, there's a surplus of luxury ranches — at least, that is, until West buys them all up.
