Springtime Ranch on the Yellowstone River is a remarkable 693± acre property ideally situated between Big Timber and Columbus, near the quiet community of Reed Point, Montana. Offering about two miles of Yellowstone River frontage, the ranch provides exceptional access to one of the West’s most renowned blue-ribbon trout fisheries, making it a premier destination for fly fishing enthusiasts. The property features approximately 202± acres of productive land under pivot irrigation, supported by two pivots, along with an additional 13± acres of adjoining BLM land that enhances both privacy and recreational opportunity. The landscape is diverse and visually striking, ranging from irrigated fields and lush riparian bottomlands to steep, rolling hillsides laden with ponderosa pine, creating a dynamic, scenic setting. Abundant wildlife frequents the ranch, including mule deer, whitetail deer, pronghorn, turkey, black bear, a variety of bird species, and offers excellent wildlife viewing and occasional big game hunting. Outdoor recreation opportunities are plentiful, with space for horseback riding, hiking, and exploring the natural terrain. Improvements include a 2,400± square foot home built in 1988, featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms, perched atop a hill with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. A secondary 1,575± square foot bungalow with two bedrooms and one bathroom, and a shop/garage, sits near the base of the hill, ideal for guests or additional living space. Conveniently located just 30± minutes from Big Timber and approximately one hour from Billings and Billings Logan International Airport, Springtime Ranch on the Yellowstone River offers a rare combination of accessibility, productivity, and Montana beauty.
