Property description

Hunt, fish, ride and hideout on this 1327-acre Montana ranch near Big Timber. There is a 1.2 mile private drive from the main ranch gate to the 5111 sf, 5 /4.5 compound. This is the sole property in the valley and the home is beautifully crafted with 19th-century hand-hewn timbers, dry-laid stone fireplaces, chef's kitchen, multiple entertainment zones, grand vistas and a 1400 bottle custom walnut wine cellar. There are 8+ garage spaces in total including indoor RV parking. The recent and separate 5500+ sq. ft. entertainment pavilion has a half basketball court or classic car showroom, grand hall, speakeasy, media room & workshop area.You can escape to your own hideaway 2/1 cabin located 1.5 miles away on the property. This refuge has stunning view of Crazy Mountains.The ranch also includes an adjacent BLM land lease & 10+ miles of ATV/horse trails which access prime elk & deer hunting. Fenced pastures, a trout pond with dock, RV hookup/parking for the distant relatives are added bonuses.

There is ALL SEASON access to I-90. A Yellowstone River boat launch is 2 miles away across the highway and the absolutely charming Greycliff Mill ( https://greycliffmill.com/ ) is just 3 miles away. Billings and Bozeman airports are 72 miles and 59 miles, respectively. The nearby Big Timber and Livingston air strips are close for private aviation. Billings and Bozeman commercial airports have direct flights to LAX, SD, SFO, EWR, DEN, Minneapolis, OHare, Houston and others....some flights are seasonal. Both airports are within an hour +/- drive on 80 mph on I-90.

This is a not to be missed opportunity. The Lost Creek Ranch is an investment in the future. This iconic Montana ranch would be difficult and costly to duplicate. As large as the property is, the owners have chosen not to run their own cattle or hay. As a result there is no overhead salary expense for a ranch manager or wranglers. The property is virtually self sufficient and move in ready. With little effort the ranch could be commercialized for the 1031 exchange minded buyer.

NB: www.LostCreekRanch.org will be populated with video, updated photos, dialogue and local cultural opportunities in mid May 2024.
