Sweeping views incorporate giant peaks, forested hills, open meadows and the Yellowstone River which courses northerly through the center of the valley near the property. A private forest easement grants this property relatively exclusive access into more than 980,000 acres of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and from the backdoor lies some of the finest elk hunting in North America. This property offers a uniquely remote wilderness experience along with high-quality dining options, all within a close radius of the property. This is an extremely challenging property to replicate.
