About this property

Cottonwood Creek Ranch is a turnkey 640-acre cattle operation set against the foothills of the Beartooth Mountains. Roughly 1.5 miles of live creek run through the property, feeding lush bottomland meadows and supporting senior, decreed water rights that convey with the sale — a rare and valuable asset in this country.

Improvements include a restored 1920s timber-frame barn, a modern steel equipment barn, working corrals with a hydraulic chute, and a comfortable three-bedroom ranch house with a wraparound porch overlooking the valley. The deeded acreage is cross-fenced into six pastures, with reliable stock water in every paddock.

With approximately 150 animal-unit carrying capacity, irrigated hay ground producing two cuttings a season, and end-of-the-road privacy, Cottonwood Creek is ready for the next family to run cattle, raise horses, or simply enjoy a legacy mountain ranch.
