McLeod, Montana’s Burnt Leather Ranch has historically been comprised of several parts that worked together to form a well-balanced and recreationally diverse Montana ranch. We are privileged to offer for sale what is referred to by the ranch owner as the “Old Steen Place.” The Steen Place portion of the ranch includes the headquarters of the Burnt Leather Ranch as well as its most valuable recreational resources. This is the portion for which the Burnt Leather is famous, primarily because of the over two miles of both sides of the West Boulder River, which flows through the Montana ranch, providing one of the most scenic and prolific stretches of water on which to catch trout in the lower 48 states.

Burnt Leather Ranch in Montana is arguably the most coveted ranch in the most desirable neighborhood for recreational ranches in Montana. It provides a window to the very best of the Northern Rockies and a privileged place in nature alongside one of America’s great wildernesses.
