\nLocated approximately five miles north of Custer, Montana, and the Yellowstone River,
\nthe S Bar Ranch offers an exceptional combination of size, production, and recreation in
\none of the most desirable ranching regions of the state. With paved access and only an
\nhour\u2019s drive to Billings and its international airport, this ranch is both productive and
\nconvenient. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThis well-cared-for ranch has never been overgrazed and features high-quality native
\ngrass supporting a carrying capacity of approximately 600 cow\/calf pairs. The property
\nis cross-fenced into 14 pastures, with strategically placed water tanks served by 15
\nelectric wells and one solar well. Additional water resources include 12 reservoirs that
\nhold water consistently and eight seasonal springs, ensuring reliable livestock and
\nwildlife water throughout the year. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nwildfire. Power is provided by NorthWestern Energy, and road access is excellent via a
\nmaintained county road off Musselshell Trail Road. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nRanch improvements include two well-kept homes and multiple working facilities. The
\nmain residence is a 2,288\u00b1 sq. ft. 2003 double-wide with three bedrooms and two
\nbathrooms. The second home, built in 1975, is 2,624\u00b1 sq. ft. with three bedrooms and
\ntwo bathrooms\u2014ideal for a guest house or ranch manager\u2019s quarters. A heated 26\u2019 x
\n61\u2019 shop offers ample space for maintenance and storage. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe ranch also includes an exceptional processing area, barn, loading chute, and
\nsorting alleys covering approximately five acres. The handling system features a
\nheavy-duty squeeze chute and processing drum, designed for both buffalo and cattle. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nWildlife is abundant, with Hungarian partridge, sharptail grouse, sage grouse, mule
\ndeer, antelope, and elk commonly found across the property. The ranch lies within FWP
\nHunting District 701, with 590 for elk, and qualifies for landowner preference tags. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe terrain consists of rolling hills and native grassland, with timber ridges on the south
\nend of the property offering natural protection and scenic beauty. The productive soils
\nand consistent water make it ideal for both livestock and wildlife management. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe S Bar Ranch is a versatile operation supporting cow\/calf, yearling, and horse
\nprograms, with potential fall grazing leases that may transfer to the buyer. The ranch
\nhas not been hunted in three years, leaving wildlife populations strong\u2014particularly
\nmule deer and upland birds. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nWith its combination of excellent grass, water, improvements, and access, opportunities
\nof this scale and quality are increasingly rare in the Custer\u2013Bull Mountains region. The

\nimpressive recreational appeal. <\/span><\/p>\n
