INTRODUCTION<br />
Tucked away on a secluded hillside overlooking the pastoral Shields River Valley sits <strong>Big</strong> <strong>View</strong> <strong>Basin</strong>. One’s senses are immediately captivated by<br />
the stunning panoramic vistas of the majestic Crazy Mountains to the east and the Bridger and Bangtail Mountain Ranges to the west. <strong>Big</strong> <strong>View</strong> <strong>Basin</strong><br />
consists of 159± private and scenic acres of surveyed land in the highly-desirable area of Southwest Montana. With close proximity to Livingston and<br />
Bozeman, <strong>Big</strong> <strong>View</strong> <strong>Basin</strong> is situated and priced to appeal to a buyer who is attracted to the peace and solitude of the Shields Valley, yet also desires<br />
the culture and amenities of the nearby population centers.<br />
The Property consists of varied terrain including gently sloping meadows, gullies, hillsides and dynamic rock formations. Predominantly covered with<br />
scattered sage and native grasses, the Property could easily support several saddle horses or a few head of cattle. A neighboring rancher has lightly<br />
grazed the Property with livestock over the past several years, promoting healthy native vegetation. The Property has been well cared for, evidenced<br />
through the thoughtful annual weed management.<br />
Several locations exist to construct a home with outbuildings and a secluded riding arena while retaining the commanding views of the nearby mountain<br />
ranges. With the personal touches of the new owner, there is potential to create something very special in a private, yet accessible locale. The Property<br />
and adjoining acreages are protected by restrictive covenants further safeguarding the land and owner’s investment. Additionally, with no existing<br />
structures on the Property and dependable access via a well-graveled road, the new owner has the flexibility to retain the entire acreage or create two<br />
separate parcels.<br />
<strong>Big</strong> <strong>View</strong> <strong>Basin</strong> is in a fertile wildlife corridor and hosts abundant numbers of sage grouse, Hungarian partridge and other upland game bird species. A<br />
local herd of elk traverses through the Property in the fall as they descend out of the nearby Bangtail Mountain Range on their way to their winter range.<br />
The potential to develop a very private and well-located enclave will become evident upon inspecting the Property. The Property is a great land value<br />
creating a very attractive option for the buyer seeking privacy and tremendous “<strong>Big</strong> Sky Country” views.<br />

AREA RECREATION<br />
This area is surrounded by some of Montana’s most desirable recreational areas and picturesque mountain ranges with the Gallatin, and Lewis and<br />
Clark National Forests located directly west and east of the Property. Numerous National Forest Service trailheads can be accessed within fifteen- to<br />
thirty-minute drives from the Property – allowing for easy trailering of horses to thousands of acres of federal land.<br />
The upper Shields River near Wilsall offers uncrowded wade fishing for small but plentiful cutthroat and brook trout. Downstream, the River becomes<br />
a brown trout fishery with some larger cutthroat and smaller rainbows also being found. A combination of light fishing pressure, excellent habitat and<br />
nutrient-heavy water allows the trout to become quite numerous. Fall presents the best time to fish the Shields River with many large brown trout<br />
migrating upstream from the Yellowstone River to spawn. If larger water is desired, the nearby world-famous Yellowstone River offers anglers over<br />
100 miles of trout-rich water accessed by multiple fishing-access sites.<br />
Exceptional skiing is a scenic 20-mile drive from the Property with the “Cold Smoke” of Bridger Bowl. Crosscut Mountain Sports Center, also located<br />
20 miles from the Property, offers the highest quality Nordic skiing with over 30km of trails well suited to all levels of ability. The après ski amenities<br />
of Bozeman, voted one of the World’s 25 Best Ski Towns by National Geographic in 2014, are also available nearby.<br />

AREA HISTORY<br />
Clyde Park, originally named Sunnyside, served as a resting stop for wagon trains and travelers heading west searching to find their fortunes in the gold<br />
digs of Montana and California. The stage stop and watering hole owned by Madame Bulldog was a welcome site for the weary travelers. In 1885, a<br />
post office was established in Madame’s town of Sunnyside with young Sarah Robinson as postmistress.<br />
In 1887 the post office was moved to the Messrs’ Ranch, a prominent family in the area who brought their imported English Clydesdale horses to work<br />
the fields. The presence of the Clydesdales precipitated the renaming of the town Clyde Park, referring to the park-like landscape and majestic work<br />
horses of the area.<br />
Supplies in the early days were hauled into Clyde Park by Jim Bowen, known as the “Cayuse Kid,” who freighted with a twenty-four horse jerk line.<br />
By 1914 the Northern Pacific Railroad had constructed a spur line and was making its run up the Shields Valley past Clyde Park six times a week.<br />
