Property Overview
North Fork Horse Creek Ranch sits between the Bridger, Absaroka, and Crazy Mountains in the heart of the picturesque Shields River Valley. The 284± deeded acres combine riparian creek bottom along the banks of the North Fork of Horse Creek with farm ground interspersed with upland sage meadows and native grasses to the north. Boasting 0.4± miles of the North Fork of Horse Creek, this unspoiled Southwestern Montana land sits about 10± minutes east of the Shields River, a guide favorite for fishable trout water. The land consists of rolling hills, mature cottonwood trees along the riparian area, junipers, sage meadows, and native grasses mixed with alfalfa. Recent hay production (alfalfa/grass) totaled 323 bales, each weighing approximately 1,350 pounds, for a total of about 218 tons. Breathtaking views stretch as far as the eye can see of the three surrounding mountain ranges from various points on the property, with the primary view looking up at the majestic Crazy Mountains. Whitetail, elk, moose, antelope, upland birds, and other Montana wildlife wander through the ranch. Close to basic amenities, this modest three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch home and guest home, along with associated older buildings for horses and livestock, is situated about 15± minutes east of the small town of Wilsall and 20± minutes northeast of Clyde Park. Livingston and Bozeman, both highly coveted Montana towns, are a short drive away. For private jet travel, Mission Field Airport is 35± minutes south. Montana’s biggest airport, Bozeman-Yellowstone International Airport, is slightly over an hour away. This land checks all the boxes with abundant wildlife, ample grass for livestock, and hundreds of acres to recreate on.
