Step back for a second and look at the bigger picture. If you concede to your wife and let the ranch go, will this be the end of your troubles? Or will there be some future crisis where you're again told to "pack your sh*t"? My suspicion, based on some personal experience with a family member, is that if you concede now, there's going to be more trouble down the road. Also, if you pass this opportunity up, are you going to bitter about it in years to come? Or can you just let it go? I know I would find it hard to forget that I gave up a ranch that had been in the family for 100 years just because my wife didn't like the commute. A couple of other things to consider: Do you have any siblings? You don't mention any, but if you do they probably feel they have a stake in the ranch; this could be an even bigger problem than your current one if it isn't straightened out now. What is it that your wife really wants to do with the ranch? If she says "sell it and take the cash", then you need to think seriously about whether you want to spend the rest of your life with a person who cares so little about the future and the past.
