Welcome to the Yellowstone River Ranch, a rare gem nestled on approximately 1,577 acres of pristine landscape. With close to 5 miles of private frontage on the world-renowned Yellowstone River, this ranch offers an unparalleled opportunity. Picture the majestic Crazies and Absaroka mountain ranges framing your view, providing a breathtaking backdrop. Acquiring this extensive of river frontage for a ranch of @ 1600 acres is incredibly rare. Close to the authentic Montana town of Big Timber, take a short ride into town from the ranch for dinner at one of the enjoyable restaurants or bars. Sweet Grass County Fairgrounds is located on the east side of the ranch and hosts a rodeo every week for summer enjoyment. Raft or fly fish the Yellowstone where you have private fishing access to float your own property. Enjoy the historic beautiful meadows where the Crow and Blackfoot camped along rivers edge. The YRR possesses substantial water rights out of the Boulder and Yellowstone rivers that could turn this property into a special waterfowl/upland bird property or continue the ongoing ag operation or a combination of both. Wildlife include world class waterfowl, whitetail, muleys, turkey, bald eagles and the occasional elk. A potential spring creek and private channel of the Yellowstone enhance fishing and waterfowl possibilities. The long and narrow property maximizes the river frontage. The close to 5 miles of Yellowstone river frontage puts the new owner in a rare class that owns this many miles of this famed fly fishing river. Ponds accentuate the property with more ponds permitted for the new owner to create a fishing and waterfowl paradise. There is no Conservation Easement on this property so the next owner has a clean start. The agricultural planting possibilities to draw more wildlife start with the existing 2 large meadows but there is many other opportunities to expand and enhance even more areas. Bozeman is an hour to the west and Billings is an hour and 20 minutes to the east. Big Timber has a municipal airport that allows smaller jets to land and takeoff and is minutes from the ranch. For larger jets, Bozeman International airport services numerous airlines and private jets for easy access. Good roads and cross fencing are already installed to manage stock. This is a very unique opportunity to own what is likely one of the largest river frontages on the Yellowstone River with fabulous views of the Crazies and Absarokas.
