About this property

A rare offering along the Shields River, Sheep Mountain Ranch encompasses 90.29 acres of productive ground, river frontage and an impressive collection of recreational and agricultural amenities just outside Livingston. Held by the same ownership for nearly four decades, the property offers a unique blend of Montana ranch living, recreation and versatility in the heart of the Shields Valley, a setting defined by open sky, working ranches and the kind of quiet that's harder to find within reach of a growing town. Irrigated hay fields stretch toward the surrounding foothills and mountain views, producing a dependable hay crop each season with water rights. Mature cottonwoods and Shields River frontage create a beautiful riparian corridor and exceptional wildlife habitat, with deer and wild turkeys a near-daily sight and waterfowl regular visitors along the river bottom. It's a landscape that shifts with the seasons, green in summer, golden in fall, and quiet under snow in winter, offering privacy, seclusion and a genuine connection to the land year-round. The ranch was also built for enjoying, not just working. A private trap range with a voice-activated automatic clay target system, a putting green, horseshoe pits and a fire pit make for easy recreation at home, while direct river frontage puts fishing and time on the water within steps of the house. Whether it's an evening cast for trout, a round on the range, or friends gathered around the fire pit, the property suits entertaining as easily as solitude. The ranch is complemented by a residence along with numerous functional improvements, including a hay shed and a former meat-processing facility equipped for livestock and game, a rare and genuinely useful amenity for ranchers, hunters, or anyone wanting added flexibility from the land. Together, the improvements reflect decades of thoughtful use by owners who valued both the working ground and the life lived on it. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Livingston and within easy reach of Bozeman, Sheep Mountain Ranch offers a rare combination of privacy and accessibility, close enough for daily life, far enough to feel like your own piece of Montana. From productive hay fields and evenings on the river to shooting, fishing and gathering around the fire, Sheep Mountain Ranch is the kind of Montana property that's increasingly hard to find: 90.29 acres where agriculture, recreation and riverfront living come together in one place.
