About this property

The Flying C Ranch on the Stillwater River, which spans 11,177 acres (+/- 8,880 deeded), has something for every outdoors enthusiast! With a mile and a half of of the Stillwater River, plus Trout Creek and Bad Canyon Creek, an angler can fish for days and never cover the same section of water. The ranch boasts superb elk, deer, turkey, grouse and Hungarian partridge hunting. The Flying C is a working cattle ranch that currently has 160 cow/calf pairs, plus the bulls and about 150 yearlings. (Livestock and equipment are offered separately.) In addition to the main home and the ranch manager's home, there are two 1BR/1BA bunkhouses, a 1BR/1BA fisherman's cabin right on the river bank, an in-ground heated swimming pool with log pool house, fenced and lighted tennis/pickleball court and assorted other garages, implement sheds and a stunning barn dating back to the 1940's. The ranch consists of +/- 8,880 deeded acres and an additional +/- 2,296 acres of grazing leases on BLM, State of Montana and Forest Service land. Extensive water rights convey with the ranch, some of which date back to the late 1800's. The Flying C Ranch is only about two hours from Bozeman and a bit over an hour to the Billings airport. Red Lodge Ski Area is under an hour away, as are the wide variety of shops and dining venues of the hip town of Red Lodge. The stunning views of the Absaroka Beartooth mountain range from many parts of the ranch, including one site overlooking a pair of ponds present an opportunity for construction of a new, larger home. The property is unencumbered by a conservation easement, offering the next owner full flexibility and the option to pursue a conservation easement on all or part of the 8,880+/- deeded acres.
