Established in 2004, Little Yellowstone Ranch consists of 379± deeded acres bordering BLM land for 1.75± miles, which then borders Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, offering the owner thousands of acres of public land to recreate. Majestic vistas with Big Sky views, this property is truly one of a kind. Keeping with the feeling of the Wild West, the improvements are themed after a 100-year-old replica of an old USFS Fire Lookout Tower that is truly a work of art. Using reclaimed lumber and large boulders and rocks, the improvements on the property are custom, with particular detail to replicate the early 1900 Wild West era. Improvements include a 3 story custom Fire Lookout Tower, a custom heated workshop/barn with guest quarters containing 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, a reclaimed miners cabin and a historic, refurbished outhouse and greenhouse. With staggering views of seven mountain ranges and directly overlooking both the Ruby and Madison Valley’s, with wildlife ranging from bears and moose to eagles and elk, this property has it all.
