About this property

The Jefferson River Sporting Ranch is the epitome of a Montana riverfront ranch, boasting hundreds of acres of lush, wildlife-rich riparian bottomland, productive ranchland, recreational amenities, and outstanding views of the Bridger, Madison, and Tobacco Root mountains. The 423± acre property is nestled alongside approximately 1± mile of the Jefferson River, a few miles south of Three Forks, under 30 minutes from the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, and approximately 40 minutes from downtown Bozeman, Montana. Perhaps the most unique aspect of the ranch is the lush, spring-laden bottomland along the Jefferson River. Here, springs, wetland complexes, and remnant river sloughs intertwine among hundred-year-old cottonwoods. The wildlife is prolific. A wide variety of waterfowl, including ducks (mallards, widgeon, blue-winged teal, cinnamon teal), Canada geese, and tundra swans, as well as geese, turkey, pheasant, eagles, sandhill cranes, and songbirds, are perpetually present. Big game, including whitetail deer, moose, and occasionally elk also call the ranch home. The ranch is a blank slate with the opportunity to build a home or enjoy as a recreational retreat. Two suggested build sites with approved septic permits at each for five bedroom homes are already in place, allowing for a streamlined approach for a new owner to begin construction. Jefferson River Sporting Ranch offers an unparalleled blend of outstanding wildlife habitat, productive ranchland, and convenient location, making it an ideal retreat for a new owner to create their own secluded, wildlife-rich oasis. The ranch is a clean slate, allowing for a new owner to build their legacy home or recreational retreat.
