While the “Valley Ranch” has all of the attributes of a recreational ranch, it is a functional working ranch. The irrigated hay meadows provide high quality Timothy Hay that is consid-ered “top of the line” for equestrian purposes.
The incredible “Valley Ranch” lies in the Rock Creek Valley, just12 miles north of Red Lodge, Montana. Consisting of 72.3 deeded acres of which 68.3 acres are irrigated pasture and hay lands, this ranch is exactly the right size for a family equestrian operation. It is easily managed, fully self-contained, with additional recreational activities such as trout fishing, on Dry Creek as it meanders through the ranch. The “Valley Ranch” sports four ponds, which attract migrating wa-terfowl, such as Mallard ducks, Canadian Geese,
Sandhill Cranes, and Curlew.
The ranch has a large shop, that is ideal for storing equipment and hay. There is an older horse barn that could easily be restored into a modern, year around horse housing facil-ity, with plenty of room to build an arena to train, and exercise sporting horses of all kinds. The modern 1,848 square foot home was remodeled in 2001, and has an attached two-car garage.
Skiing on Red Lodge Mountain is only 12 miles away and the excellent K-12 schools of Roberts, Montana are only 2 miles away with full school bus service to the ranch. The views from the “Valley Ranch” of the entire Absarokee Mountain Range are truly spectacular! Cody, Wyoming is just one hour to the south, and provides endless recreational activities, such as the Cody Night Rodeo, Buffalo Bill Museum & Historical Center, Winchester Firearms Collection, the Irma Hotel and the east entrance to Yellowstone Park! The Pryor Mountains lie 30 miles to the east and are famous for “Big Ice Cave”, and the “Pryor Moun-tain Wild Horse Range”. Billings, Montana and Logan International Airport lie just 45 minutes north of the “Valley Ranch”. Billings is Montana’s largest city, and has one of the finest hospital com-plex’s in the Northwest, along with all the attractions and conveniences of a large modern western city!
Whitetail deer, black bear, and an occasional Moose also frequent the property as they roam this beautiful valley.

Buyer Brokers
Western Agri Financial, Inc. is pleased to cooperate with buyer brokers, and offers excellent “Showing House Commissions”.

Please notify your buyer of this requirement to prevent an embarrassing situation during the negotiation process!
