Located along the banks of one of Montana’s greatest fly fishing rivers, Yellowstone River Hunting Retreat is just 20± minutes from Billings, Montana, and a little further to Billings-Logan International Airport. As the name suggests, the Yellowstone River forms the property’s northern boundary for about a mile, while river braids and State land form a portion of the western boundary. The rolling bluffs above the river showcase ‘big sky’ views, with the Absaroka Range to the southwest. The river bottom is full of cottonwood trees and small junipers and is loaded with wildlife, including mule deer, whitetail deer, and waterfowl migrating up and down the Yellowstone River. The shade and tranquility of the river bottom are enough to give solace even on the hottest Montana summer days. A tremendous riverfront property, Yellowstone River Hunting Retreat offers a significant slice of outdoor Montana and a blank slate for the next owner. Sitting at 3,340± to 3,520± feet, Yellowstone River Hunting Retreat comprises a lush riparian riverfront habitat and two food plots that can be planted with a variety of crops. The view from atop the bluffs overlooking the valley provides an expansive panorama of the Yellowstone River, the surrounding mountain ranges, and all this area has to offer. The property has ample grass and water and is ideal for horse lovers or a small cattle operation. Some of the best trout fishing in the world occurs on the famed Yellowstone River, flowing by the property for almost a mile. The Yellowstone River is the longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states, flowing some 554± miles from its source in the mountains of Wyoming to its confluence with the Missouri River. The property not only offers a tremendous trout fishery but also holds some warm water species such as smallmouth bass, catfish, burbot, carp, walleye, and sauger. The multiple sloughs that flow through the property offer excellent fishing opportunities from late spring to late summer.
