The rolling bluffs above the river provide big sky views with the Gallatin Mountains to the West, the Absaroka Beartooths to the East, and glimpses of the Crazy Mountain range to the North. The agricultural and recreational attributes are wide and varied. The river bottom is full of cottonwood trees and small junipers breaking away into a lush irrigated hay meadow. The lush river bottom is loaded with wildlife, including Mule Deer, Whitetail and plentiful waterfowl. The shade and tranquility of the river bottom is enough to give solace even on the hottest of Montana summer days. The Yellowstone River Ranch will provide the buyer with a beautiful Montana lifestyle, whether it be on a full or part time basis.
The ranch consists of approximately 1,345 acres of deeded land in 9 contiguous tracts of record. The ranch is made up of 123 acres of lush riparian riverfront habitat, 125 acres of pivot irrigated land with the remaining acreage being rolling dry land topography. The Yellowstone River forms the western boundary, while the Absaroka Mountains and picture perfect Emigrant peak line the eastern skyline. The view from the bluffs that overlook the valley provide an expansive panorama of the Yellowstone River valley. The ranch offers multiple building sites with river and mountain views and beautiful accreted lands comprise one riparian tract equal to 32.8 acres. The historic Old Yellowstone Trail for non-motorized public use crosses the ranch along the river bank. A beautiful stone house that was built in 1915 and has been unoccupied for a very long time is full of charm. The home will require renovation prior to occupancy. Also included are a handful of old working corrals, a large shed and an old barn.
