About this property
Positioned along the southern slope of the Big Belt Mountains and surrounding the famous Battle Mountain, Battle Mountain Ranch is a genuine "end-of-the-road" offering-private and secluded, yet within easy reach of Bozeman's modern conveniences. It's a rare find in today's active market. The ranch totals 5,747± acres-5,427± deeded, plus 320 acres of State of Montana lease-spanning heavily timbered hillsides, rolling grassy slopes, willow-lined creek bottoms, and productive hay meadows. This diversity of terrain creates prime habitat for Rocky Mountain wildlife, including abundant elk, mule deer, and upland game birds. Battle Mountain and its surrounding dark timber give elk a secure refuge, and large numbers of them call the ranch home. Three miles of common border with the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest also provide direct access to nearly 2.8 million acres of public land. The next owner can run a 150-200-head cattle-and-horse operation or lease the ranch to a neighbor for hay production and summer grazing across its meadows and upper mountain country. Water resources on the ranch are abundant. Faulkner Creek flows by the headquarters, providing a lush riparian band as it serpentines out of the national forest for about one mile before flowing into Faulkner Reservoir. The reservoir is about 9.5 acres in size and harbors abundant trout populations while providing habitat for migratory waterfowl. Faulkner Creek then flows out of the reservoir and through the ranch for about another 1.5 miles. Hay Creek is a much larger stream that also originates in the national forest and flows through the ranch for about 1.5 miles. Hay Creek contains deeper holding water for trout and is a true high-mountain fishery. Private and commercial FBOs and airports are nearby; Bozeman is a 90-minute drive, Townsend is 40 minutes away, and White Sulphur Springs is just 15 minutes away. During the winter months, plowing the driveway off the county road is the owner's responsibility. Free of any conservation easement, Battle Mountain Ranch is a blank canvas - ready for its new owner to shape as they see fit.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
