Running Elk Ranch is a 986-acre legacy property offering a mix of productive irrigated hay ground, forested acreage, wildlife habitat, and mountain views. The ranch is anchored by a custom 7,250-square-foot residence completed in 2022, featuring vaulted ceilings, custom beams and woodwork, oak flooring, granite countertops, expansive windows, and a wraparound deck. Interior highlights include two wood-burning fireplaces, upper and lower-level bar areas, a walkout basement, dual laundry areas, and an oversized six-car garage.
Additional improvements include a 3,584-square-foot updated ranch manager’s home, a log hunting cabin with a loft, full kitchen, two bathrooms, and a wood stove, along with a remodeled guest home near the ranch entrance. Operational space is supported by a 100' x 60' equipment and hay barn plus additional shop and storage facilities. Part of the property is protected by a conservation easement, and there is an additional building envelope on the ranch.
The property’s setting is described as being just north of Darby at the base of Montana’s Bitterroot Mountains, positioned for privacy while remaining close to area amenities. Frequent elk and abundant wildlife are noted across the ranch.
