Nearby, a charming guest house with two bedrooms and two baths offers more space for family or visitors. For those craving quiet solitude, an off-grid cabin beside a tranquil trout-filled pond offers the perfect escape within your own family estate. New gravel roads and riding paths make it easy to explore every corner of the property by foot, horse, or ATV.

Horse lovers will find everything they need—a well-equipped barn with four stalls, a tack room, individual runs, an outdoor arena, and a round pen. Prefer to lease it out? The infrastructure is equally suited for generating income through equestrian operations.

Just 7± miles from the town of Three Forks, this ranch balances peaceful seclusion with effortless accessibility. Bozeman, Yellowstone, blue-ribbon trout streams, ski resorts, and a major airport are all close enough for spontaneity but far enough to preserve your privacy.
