W. Boulder River Estate - Mcleod, MT

understated Elegance On the River

THIS AMAZING Montana ranch boasts 91 acres in the much-sought-after West Boulder River Valley.  With 700 feet of river frontage offering some of the best fishing in the northwest, the property is only 30 minutes from both Livingston and Big Timber.  The property offers a grand timber home, two guest houses, horse facilities, corrals, pasture and a fishing shack on the river.

WHILE THE RANCH has a rustic, natural feel, it is a true combination of western comfort and European elegance.  The main house contains an impressive master suite with fully-fitted master bath, walk-in closets and mountain views.  The great room on the main floor has a 28-foot stone fireplace and lovely French doors that open onto the 8-foot deep covered deck that surrounds two sides of the home.  A master kitchen invites both cook and guests, although most meals are served on the deck to take advantage of the incredible views; “the best in the valley”.  The main floor also includes a guest room, a large laundry-mud room, and separate-temperature-controlled sauna, wine cellar, and an over-sized garage.

THE LARGER of the two guest houses sleeps twelve, in three master bedrooms and an upstairs “bunk house” with six bunk beds and separate bath. It has a fully-equipped kitchen and laundry area and a covered deck overlooking the valley.  The smaller, more rustic guest cabin offers a romantic hideaway, with its own incredible private views of the surrounding snow covered peaks.   There is a barn, storage garage, large workshop and beautiful tack room and stall on the upper portion of the property.   The arena and shed are down by the river, in one of the six horse pastures.

THE RIVER BOASTS some of the best fishing in the area as public access is a difficult 4-5 mile trek.  It is a secret in the valley, but you own one of the largest, most desirable and private fishing holes in the valley. 

ELK, DEER, EAGLES and other indigenous wildlife abound.  The back section of the property offers an upper bench behind the main house that allows splendid views, picnic area and/or incredible riding on your own private reserve.

THE MAIN HOUSE is 3400 square feet with the larger of the two guest houses at 1600 square feet.  The second guest cabin sleeps two in 400 square feet and offers a quaint, romantic hideaway for guests. The property boasts a well that produces 95 gallons of mountain spring water every minute allowing for the fenced, landscaped lawns to be fully irrigated.

THE HOME is furnished in custom-designed and original pieces from leading craftsmen in Cody, Jackson Hole, Bozeman and Big Timber.  Most* are offered with the property, as well as all of the outdoor maintenance equipment. 

UNBELIEVABLE VIEW, dramatic sunsets, fabulous fishing and understated elegance are only a few of the terms to describe this amazing property that lends itself to either entertaining or a secluded private retreat.
