JY Bagby Ranch Offering Brochure

INTRODUCTION
Far from the displeasing crowds and noise, safely situated
at the base of southwest Montana’s majestic Beaverhead
Mountain Range and the famed Continental Divide, JY
Bagby Ranch encompasses 2,937± acres of deeded land
adjoining the Beaverhead National Forest in the historic
Big Hole Valley of Montana. Surrounded by dramatic
vistas of the Beaverhead, Pintlar and Pioneer Mountain
Ranges, the Ranch is located near the small ranching
town of Jackson and the historic ghost town of Bannock
– both notable sites in Montana’s early history.
The Ranch has been immaculately managed and
maintained with the majority of the interior and exterior
fencing reconstructed in the traditional Big Hole Valley
“worm” and jack-leg fencing styles. The 5,081± square
foot custom home with three bedrooms and three and a
half bathrooms boasts an open floor plan with high-end
finishes and dramatic views of the Beaverhead Mountains
and the Big Hole River Valley below. Three private adjoining bunkhouse guest suites connect to the main home with an open breezeway. Newly
constructed Ranch facilities are tastefully designed, functional and provide all of the modern necessities expected in today’s high-end ranch properties.
An approximate two-mile stretch of Englejard Creek provides excellent habitat for German brown trout and brook trout. Outstanding water rights
and several lush riparian corridors along Englejard Creek and several small spring-fed streams provide a superb opportunity for further stream and
pond enhancement. The western and southern portions of the Ranch border national forest land for almost six miles providing unlimited hunting and
recreational opportunities in the Beaverhead National Forest.
The diverse ecosystem of alpine mountains, valleys and grassy creek bottoms offer prime habitat for a variety of Rocky Mountain wildlife including an
abundance of elk, mule and whitetail deer, antelope, moose, bear, mountain lion and an occasional wolf moving through the area. A large percentage
of Montana’s moose population reside in the Big Hole Valley, and many call the Ranch home throughout the winter taking advantage of the abundant
water and willows.
The Ranch can also afford the next owner simplicity and enjoyment should they choose to lease it to a neighbor to graze its productive summer pastures.
Within a forty-five-minute drive of Dillon and about two hours and forty minutes from Bozeman, Helena and Missoula, the Ranch’s proximity to
commercial airports and interstate travel make it readily accessible year round, and afford additional ease of enjoyment.
The Ranch is located in one of southwestern Montana’s premier ranching, big-game hunting and fly-fishing areas. Combined with close proximity
to the famed Big Hole River – it may be one of the finest fishing and big-game hunting properties on the market today. The Ranch is a tremendous
candidate for a conservation-minded opportunistic buyer.
