The ranch borders one mile of Forest Service land, expanding direct access to outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, hiking, cross-country skiing, and rock climbing. It is located near Kelly Canyon, Moffit Gulch, and Trail Creek Roads, with Bozeman amenities about 10± minutes away, Bridger Bowl Ski Area about 20± minutes away, and Yellowstone National Park’s north entrance about 1.5± hours away.

This property is well suited for buyers seeking a private, recreation-focused ranch with wildlife presence including deer, elk, bear, moose, and diverse bird species. With conservation-protected acreage, defined building envelopes, and the ability to divide into four minimum 160-acre parcels, it also offers a practical framework for creating a multi-residence retreat or primary residence with guest or caretaker facilities.
