Sitting on a prominent point on a bend of the Bighorn River about a half mile downstream of the St. Xavier Bridge, Rainbow Point offers spectacular views of the river from an opulent home along the riverbank. The property sits on one acre within a 175± acre HOA, allowing the resident homeowners to hunt upland birds, waterfowl, and fish within the common area. There is a community boat ramp for the residents as well.
One of the best and most well-known holes on this stretch of the river is right out the back door. The most easterly of Montana’s fine rivers, the blue-ribbon waters of the Bighorn, is also the finest in terms of numbers of fish. With nearly 2,500 fish per mile at an average of 19+ inches, catching 20” to 24” browns and rainbows every day, it is no surprise the river is known for its fantastic fishing and cold water.
The grand house recently underwent an extensive remodel and sports four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a large garage for multiple cars and boats. The Fort Smith Dam and Bighorn National Recreation Area are just 15± minutes up the road. Billings, Montana, is one hour and fifteen minutes away, and Sheridan, Wyoming, is 90± minutes away.
Rainbow Point on the Bighorn River is a unique luxury fishing residence, the only home like it right on the river. The other homes in the HOA are mere cabins compared to this property. The privacy and peacefulness of the setting need to be seen to be appreciated.
