Gallatin River Ranch (GRR) is located outside Bozeman in the Horseshoe Hills of beautiful southwest Montana. With 5,900(+/-) acres of rolling grassland and remarkable geological formations. Our eyes can wander from rocky 5,000 foot cliffs to fertile marshlands along the river banks. It doesn't take long to understand why our homesteads are so unique.
Where the only sound you might hear is the footfall on the trail, experience these features on horseback or in a pair of comfortable hiking boots. Follow one of the hundreds of game trails that meander through fragrant sagebrush, junipers, and the twisted bark of cedar trees.
As responsible stewards of our native rangeland, within the Ranch, we thoughtfully created nearly 2,000 acres of dedicated common area. This open space provides a recreational corridor to insure protected landscape, access to hiking, trail riding, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing for generations to come.
The Gallatin River Ranch stretches along the Gallatin River for approximately 2.5 miles. Enjoy private access to walk/wade or float as you cast a fly or play in the cool water on a hot day. Whether you want to fish or float for minutes or hours, there's plenty of places to access the water along the way. Fly-fishing guides throughout the valley highly recommend the Gallatin River's riffling waters for premier blue-ribbon trout fishing.
Gallatin River Ranch is located in the heart of premier fly-fishing rivers. The famous names may change, but they are each brimming with trout... the Madison, Jefferson, the Gallatin river are just a short drive from the Ranch. Mountain lakes and fresh spring creeks offer the angler a nice variety. Drive to the big water of the Yellowstone River in less than an hour.
The diverse habitat at the Gallatin River Ranch supports a vast array of wildlife, viewable from anywhere on the Ranch. From the back deck of your homestead, observe herds of resident deer and antelope move through as they graze on native grasses and wildflowers. In early fall during the rut, the sound of bull elk can be heard bugling across the ranch.
If you're a birder, GRR is home to a wide variety of songbirds, raptors, and waterfowl. Their distinct calls and delightful melodies call from the tall cottonwoods, junipers and cattails.
Travel from the pine ridges to arid grasslands, and down to the river's edge. The land and its wildlife are diverse.
The lifestyle at Gallatin River Ranch is truly the best of both worlds. We're close enough to all the amenities that Bozeman has to offer, but far enough off the beaten path to experience the solitude, privacy, and seclusion of a lifestyle too long forgotten. From your homestead, you have the option of working hard, entertaining family and friends, or unplugging completely. Create the lifestyle you've always dreamed of.
Take in the breathtaking views of eight snow-capped mountain ranges and the fertile valley below. If you're a weather-bug, GRR's elevation and ridgelines allow spectacular 360° views as Mother Nature goes on display. As the saying goes... "If you don't like the weather in Montana...wait an hour!""
The birds and wildlife on the Gallatin River Ranch is truly remarkable. This unique ecosystem encourages the bird and wildlife populations to flourish. In the springtime nature abounds. Ducklings learn to navigate the waters, and antelope and deer fawns try out their wobbling new legs. Migratory birds create a summertime birding paradise and by fall the song of gathering SandHill Cranes fill the crisp morning air. As our days begin to shorten, the Snowshoe Hare's coat changes from grey to white in preparation for winter camouflage. Bucks parade their magnificent antlers and coyotes sing under a canopy of stars. This is one ofthe last strongholds for bald eagles, osprey, otters, weasels, mink, marten, beaver, sandhill cranes, herons and pelicans. Elk, black bear and even an occasional mountain lion might be spotted in the surrounding foothills. As remarkable as the bird and big game hunting is near the Ranch, it is equaled or surpassed by the quality and quantity of the trout. Really big trout keep our anglers coming back for more!
