Description

THE BIG SKY RANCH IS THE TRIFECTA OF MONTANA LAND — WILDLIFE, CATTLE RANCHING, AND WATER RECREATION.

Imagine owning 11,367 acres of Montana’s breathtaking landscape, where you can escape to the country to live the ranching lifestyle, embrace the wild, and create lasting memories for generations. This expansive property, surrounded by the tranquil Nelson Reservoir and Hewitt Lake National Wildlife Refuge, is your gateway to an extraordinary way of living on one of Montana’s largest lakes.

The ranch was purchased in 2012 as an investment property and has been an active cattle ranch with positive cash flow since inception. With enough AUMs to carry approximately 300 cows for a six month grazing period, The Big Sky Ranch blends the beauty of Montana’s scenery with the practical benefits of a well-maintained, profitable cattle operation.

For the outdoor enthusiasts, this is truly your playground! Enjoy family-friendly ATV excursions, thrilling hunts for waterfowl, deer, or peaceful fishing trips on the lake. The property runs adjacent to the Bureau of Reclamation for the Nelson Reservoir to the south and Hewitt Lake National Wildlife Refuge to the east and ensures you’re always close to one of Montana’s largest bodies of water for fishing, boating, kayaking, and summertime fun!

But, this isn’t just land; it’s a chance to build a legacy — whether you want to continue to develop it for cattle ranching or keep it for your own recreational use. The majestic parcel is poised for you to leave a lasting imprint to craft your story that will be told for generations to come.
