Steamboat Springs, Colorado, in the heart of the Yampa Valley, is truly one of the most special places on earth. And Sidney Peak Ranch is the last, best place close to Steamboat...12 minutes to be exact. But when you’re here it feels like the entire valley belongs only to you. We have only 32 ranch sites, each of which is situated so that your neighbor won’t spoil the view. Fishing ponds, paved roads, equestrian center, miles of trails, architectural controls, professional management and Sidney Peak Ranch is one of the few gated communities in Steamboat. And getting here is easy, the Yampa Valley Regional Airport in Hayden is only 22 miles from Steamboat. Ownership comes with a Premier Catamount Golf Club membership and all the sunsets you can take in. Visit our Sales Gallery, downtown Steamboat Springs at 435 Lincoln Avenue.

Schröeder Ranch Settlement on the Bitterroot River

Florence v Missoula County v Montana

In the midst of a rapidly changing West, the enduring landscape of the Schröeder Ranch Settlement has been preserved as a private refuge just south of Missoula. The 125-year-old Schröeder Ranch Settlement is surrounded by the Bitterroot River on the west and the Sapphire Mountains on the east. Graced with tremendous fly-fishing, trophy elk, mule deer and whitetail deer as well as a healthy population of turkeys, the Schröeder Ranch Settlement is a peaceful, private escape from what has become one of the most desirable valleys in Montana. Schröeder Ranch Settlement is comprised of 6,210± deeded acres and 800± acres of state lease, making it one of the largest contiguous properties in close proximity to Missoula. Individual homesites range in size from 20 to 40 acres. Less that 5% of the land will be developed into settlement sites and facilities, and the remainder will be protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement. Owners will have deeded access and rights to the entire ranch through a reciprocal recreational use easement. Schröeder Ranch Settlement represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a select few to own one of the limited number of homesites complemented by ecotourism, sustainable ranching and wildlife conservation. $2,250,000–$3,500,000.

Sun Ranch Settlement on the Madison River Greg Fay, Broker James Esperti, Ryan Flair, Dave Halgerson, Jim Toth, Chuck Davison, Bill and Kim Boyce, B. Elfland, Chris Fagan & Toby Griffith Sales Associates

Ten exclusive homestead sites provide access to thousands of acres of untamed wilderness. The 19,000± deeded acres of the Sun Ranch can be explored by foot, drift boat or horseback. Six miles of the world-renowned Madison River border the property, and several tributaries flow through the ranch, two of which offer smaller, private fishing in a beautiful setting.

As the name suggests, the Yellowstone River forms the north boundary of the Fraser Ranch on the Yellowstone. This 200±-acre ranch, located just outside of Reed Point, provides numerous water amenities in addition to the Yellowstone. Bridger Creek forms the western boundary as it flows into the Yellowstone and an undeveloped spring creek flows for about a mile through the middle of the property. Because of the abundance of water on the Fraser Ranch on the Yellowstone, the wildlife and waterfowl numbers are incredible. It is not uncommon to flush a covey of upland birds

The property is only a 15-minute drive to Bozeman and Gallatin Field commercial airport and is within close proximity of the East Gallatin River, the Bridger Mountains and Gallatin National Forest. $695,000.

proximately three miles of the notoriously productive fishery Keep Cool Creek and one and a half miles of Spring Creek, this is one of the most scenic and recreationally diverse ranches in the Blackfoot River Valley. Located 45 minutes from Helena and just over an hour from Missoula, this historic ranch has tremendous conservation value and is an excellent candidate for a conservation easement.

Montana Bird Hunting Property Montana v Fergus County v Grass Range

Montana Bird Hunting Property is truly a bird hunter’s paradise. Located 58± miles from Lewistown, Montana, the 2,030±-acre property is supplied with a rebuilt reservoir, ponds and great cover for upland game birds.

Jefferson Spring Creek Ranch Montana v Madison County v Waterloo

The 711± acres of Jefferson Spring Creek Ranch encompass one and a half miles of the Jefferson River, including a private boat launch and two miles of spring creek. One mile of this spring creek has been restored to an outstanding fishery and another half-mile underwent restoration in partnership with Trout Unlimited, creating a fantastic spawning habitat. Trout reaching 25 inches call this spring creek home,

Situated just minutes from downtown Bozeman at the mouth of Kelly Canyon is the Kelly Canyon Ranch. This property is made up of 193± acres ranging from lush irrigated hay meadows to rolling hills spotted with aspen and evergreen trees. Kelly Creek, a tributary of Rocky Creek and eventually the East Gallatin, runs for 1.4± miles through the ranch. The abundance of water on the property provides a lush habitat, creating a haven for deer, elk and the occasional moose and bear. Situated amidst the lower hay meadows is a traditional Montana ranch complex made up of a 1900s ranch house, a red horse barn and numerous other outbuildings. The Kelly Canyon Ranch combines all the benefits of living close to town with the alpine feel of living in Montana. $5,900,000.

Sweitzer Hills Ranch California v Yolo County v Brooks

Here it is, prime virgin soils in the scenic Capay Valley, a setting reminiscent of Napa Valley without the champaign prices. Sweitzer Hills Ranch is land intensive with 357.64 gross acres of mixed, native grass rangeland and prime farmland. The natural terrain is a diverse blend of landforms with vast meadow “flats” and seasonal pastures, but the primary topographic features are the namesake hills. The local landmark Sweitzer Hills, elevation 500 feet, are centrally located, creating a natural barrier of protection for the secluded valley beyond and providing rewarding panoramic views up and down the valley and habitat to deer, wild turkeys and other wildlife. Historic utilization has been limited to livestock ranching, serving as the old headquarters for a cattle ranching enterprise. The property is perimeter fenced and cross-fenced for livestock control and pasture management. Remarkably, about 45 percent of the ranch is comprised of open, gently sloping pastures that contain prime Tehama loams, a well-drained loamy soil with Class II capabilities. By developing groundwater resources, there is untapped potential for this virgin soil, well-suited to crops such as almonds, walnuts, olives or wine grapes (Capay Valley Viticulture Area). Water development is limited to a house well, a stock well (plumbed to several troughs) and small seasonal ponds that capture winter run-off for livestock. The property fronts State Highway 16 for 1,800 feet, and ranch access is provided at the gated entrance from the highway near the southeastern corner of property with a private, gravel entrance road into the existing homestead area. There is a dirt road that passes over the hills to the “back” reaches and rough-graded “jeep trails” to other points. Building improvements on the ranch are in rough condition and consist of a single-family dwelling, an old tank house, a pole equipment storage structure, a storage shed and working corrals with loading chute. Overall, the condition of the building site is poor. The site has many old mature trees including a small fruit orchard and eucalyptus grove, but the landscaping and improvements exhibit heavily deferred maintenance. Land use zoning is AP (agricultural preserve) with the County of Yolo for low property taxes, and there are numerous parcels that are covered by two actively enrolled Williamson Act contracts. Utilities consist of single-phase electrical service (PG&E) into the old homestead.

153 Mile Ranch

Canada v British Columbia Williams Lake Established in the early 1900s, the 153 Mile Ranch is one of the longest-operating historic ranches in British Columbia. It is truly a

trophy property the most discriminating buyer would be proud to own. The 153 Mile Ranch is one of the few roadhouses on Cariboo Road that has managed to withstand the passage of time and not be destroyed by fire—the most common disaster to befall old structures. In 1882, pioneer settler Louis Crosina left his native Italy at the age of 15 and made his way to Yale, British Columbia where he held various jobs, including driving team on the lower Cariboo Road and tending horses for Steve Tingley at the 134 Mile. In 1897, he married Clara Noble, and the couple moved into 153 Mile where they built a small, two-story log home and started 153 Mile Store. By 1906, Louis had finished the big log home, which was to become famous as a stopping house, and the lady who vowed she wouldn’t run a roadhouse became famous for her hospitality and excellent meals. The Crosinas built a settlement around them and operated a substantial farm and ranch. The big log barns, a blacksmith shop and a “new” store built in 1914 can still be seen today. After the death of the elder Crosinas, their daughter ran the operation until 1958, when she sold the ranch to Joe and Peggy Patenaude. In 1967, Joe and Peggy formed 153 Mile Ranch Limited to give their three boys, Rusty, Larry and Roger, shares in the ranch. In 1974, the family purchased a portion of 150 Mile Ranch and in 1986 purchased the remaining portion of the Mountain House Ranch and part of the YS Ranch properties. In 1994, Larry formed his own company, 153 Mile Contracting Limited. Now retired, Joe lives in Lac La Hache, and Rusty and Roger also wish to lessen their workload and pursue other interests; therefore, they have listed their part of the ranch holdings for sale. The ranch comprises around 6,000 acres, deeded in 31 titles and 4,000 acres grazing licenses immediately adjacent to the ranch. The ranch currently runs a cow/calf operation of 960 cows with the calves being born in March and April. The calves are sold in October, retaining the cows and bulls over the winter. The ranch is divided in three working areas, which are all connected, so it is not necessary to transport the cattle from one end of the ranch to the other via trucks. Last year’s production was 550 cattle at the Main Place, 450 at Mountain House and 200 at the Home Place, plus 55 bulls. After October, 200 to 300 head would normally stay over the winter months. Operate as a working ranch or resell the over 30 individual titles and possible development of some of the properties.
