This well-cared-for ranch has never been overgrazed and features high-quality native grass supporting a carrying capacity of approximately 600 cow/calf pairs. The property is cross-fenced into 14 pastures, with strategically placed water tanks served by 15 electric wells and one solar well. Additional water resources include 12 reservoirs that hold water consistently and eight seasonal springs, ensuring reliable livestock and wildlife water throughout the year. The ranch’s fencing is in excellent condition, with updates completed after the 2021 wildfire. Power is provided by NorthWestern Energy, and road access is excellent via a maintained county road off Musselshell Trail Road. Ranch improvements include two well-kept homes and multiple working facilities. The main residence is a 2,288± sq. ft. 2003 double-wide with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
