In between the Crazy Mountains, Bridger Range, Bangtail Range, and Castle Mountains sits this 172± acre property, a little over an hour north of Bozeman. Made up of two parcels of pristine wilderness, Sixteen Mile Creek Escape stretches almost 6.5 miles long and is contiguous to 631± acres of state land. Known for its crystal-clear water and scenic beauty, Sixteen Mile Creek winds through the property for about three-quarters of a mile, offering fly-fishing opportunities for native cutthroat and brook trout. The Shields River, just 20± minutes south, provides ample opportunities for offsite fishing. The ranch supports elk, moose, deer, blue and sharp-tailed grouse, antelope, and other wildlife that migrate up and down the riparian corridor from the mountains to the creeks. Tucked away with unparalleled privacy and surrounded by towering peaks, this land is a blank slate for the next owner. This awe-inspiring property sits amongst the rugged beauty of the Belt Mountains, adjacent to one of Montana’s most magnificent mountain ranges, the Crazy Mountains, with trout fishing on the Shields River less than half an hour away, meandering creeks, vast grassy meadows, towering trees, and unparalleled panoramic views.
Hunting and wildlife viewing on the ranch and the contiguous state land are tremendous. The state piece is surrounded by arguably one of the country’s best elk-hunting ranches, providing a chance to hunt these elk as they travel through. Elk is the main draw, but the mountainous portion is also great black bear country known for holding trophy-class bears. The 83± acre parcel, comprised of sage and prairie country, holds antelope, mule deer, upland birds, sandhill cranes, and multiple species of songbirds and raptors. Sixteen Mile Creek Escape is located in hunt districts 451 and 390 and sits next to some of the most beautiful and pristine mountain wilderness, the Crazy Mountains, and the Gallatin National Forest, a trail riding and hiking paradise.
