Bay Horse Butte Ranch
Bay Horse Butte Ranch is one of southeast Montana's greatest gems. Nearly 2,000 deeded acres, adjacent to 3.5 miles of "landlocked" BLM, with many large bordering ranches, sure feels like owning a vast valley in an unchanged western landscape. Prominent Bay Horse Peak marks the high point of the mountain divide between the Little Powder River and the legendary Powder River.
Multiple home sites invite the unobstructed view across your lush grassland valley towards intact ridge tops blessed with parklike meadows in moderate timber. From the red county road, one can travel on the ranch along the original Butte Creek Mail Route, along the painted rim rock and pointed rock spires. The terrain and cover provide ideal habitat for the elk, black bear, mule deer, antelope and upland birds.
Surprisingly, this secluded part of Montana, near the Wyoming state line, is year-round country ranging from 3,700 to 4,200 feet in elevation. Located a little over an hour from Gillette, Wyoming or Broadus, Montana follow US Highway 59 to a well maintained county road leading west to a place known for open cattle range benefiting from quality grass and friendly, sparsely populated neighbors.
