Property Description
Located approximately five miles north of Custer, Montana, and the Yellowstone River, the S Bar Ranch offers an exceptional combination of size, production, and recreation in one of the most desirable ranching regions of the state. With paved access and only an hour's drive to Billings and its international airport, this ranch is both productive and convenient. This well-cared-for ranch has never been overgrazed and features high-quality native grass supporting a carrying capacity of approximately 600 cow/calf pairs. The property is cross-fenced into 14 pastures, with strategically placed water tanks served by 15 electric wells and one solar well. Additional water resources include 12 reservoirs that hold water consistently and eight seasonal springs, ensuring reliable livestock and wildlife water throughout the year. The ranch's fencing is in excellent condition, with updates completed after the 2021 wildfire. Power is provided by NorthWestern Energy, and road access is excellent via a maintained county road off Musselshell Trail Road. Ranch improvements include two well-kept homes and multiple working facilities. The main residence is a 2,288± sq. ft. 2003 double-wide with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The second home, built in 1975, is 2,624± sq. ft. with three bedrooms and two bathrooms-ideal for a guest house or ranch manager's quarters. A heated 26' x 61' shop offers ample space for maintenance and storage. The ranch also includes an exceptional processing area, barn, loading chute, and sorting alleys covering approximately five acres. The handling system features a heavy-duty squeeze chute and processing drum, designed for both buffalo and cattle. Wildlife is abundant, with Hungarian partridge, sharptail grouse, sage grouse, mule deer, antelope, and elk commonly found across the property. The ranch lies within FWP Hunting District 701, with 590 for elk, and qualifies for landowner preference tags. The terrain consists of rolling hills and native grassland, with timber ridges on the south end of the property offering natural protection and scenic beauty. The productive soils and consistent water make it ideal for both livestock and wildlife management. The S Bar Ranch is a versatile operation supporting cow/calf, yearling, and horse programs, with potential fall grazing leases that may transfer to the buyer. The ranch has not been hunted in three years, leaving wildlife populations strong-particularly mule deer and upland birds. With its combination of excellent grass, water, improvements, and access, opportunities of this scale and quality are increasingly rare in the Custer-Bull Mountains region. The S Bar Ranch represents an outstanding chance to own a proven working ranch with impressive recreational appeal. ● 600-Head Cow/Calf Capacity - High-Quality Native Grass Ranch ● 15 Electric & 1 Solar Well | 12 Reservoirs | 8 Seasonal Springs ● Cross-Fenced Into 14 Pastures for Efficient Grazing Management ● Two Homes Plus Heated Shop and Modern Working Facilities ● Buffalo-Ready Processing Area with Heavy-Duty Handling System ● Excellent Wildlife Habitat - Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope & Upland Birds ● Prime Location Near Custer MT and Yellowstone River Access ● Rare Montana Ranch Investment with Production and Recreation LAND ID MAP https://id.land/maps/b81b17a55f209db3d7d9c2ebe892656a/share
