Where the meadows meet the treeline of Mount Ellis.
The ranch reads remote — meadows, treeline, public land on three sides — and sits ten minutes from downtown Bozeman, twenty from the airport, thirty from skiing at Bridger Bowl. The valley's best days out start an easy drive from the front gate.
Dinner in downtown Bozeman, a flight, a ski day at Bridger, a river to fish — all of it is an easy drive from the front gate, and the drive home ends on a quiet ranch road.
Wild meadow and open pasture, with mature pine, willow, and aspen at the edges.

More than a mile of boundary touches state trust land that runs into Gallatin National Forest and on toward Yellowstone — millions of acres, accessible on foot or horseback from the property.
This ground was part of the Fort Ellis complex more than a century ago. We're tracing the land's story through its owners and eras — the full history will live here as the research comes together.
Native plantings over manicured lawns. Lights kept low and warm. Trails shared with neighbors. The goal is for the ranch to be additive to this valley — preserving what makes Montana worth the trip.
