In 1985, the Neff family began a search that covered the entire Western United States for a family retreat away from the city, refusing to compromise until they found a ranch that fulfilled every aspect of their dream. Eleven states and five years later, they discovered Ward Creek Ranch.

“It was just perfect,” said Paul Neff, proud owner of Ward Creek Ranch for the last 20 years. “We knew the tangible elements we wanted, like the national forest border and the seclusion, but what we also found was a sense of ‘place’. Having this place to bring our children, to experience

a perfectly paralleled reflection of the ranch’s dynamic profile. The home welcomes with a mountainesque entry, 28-foot vaulted ceilings rising in honor of the Sierras just beyond the front door. Warm timber and cool stone harvested and mined from the ranch wrap you from wall to floor, allowing the outdoors to echo freely within. Moving through the 9,000-square-foot, six-bedroom, eight-bath custom home, one is literally shaded by the trees creating the thick log walls; one can wade through a free-flowing river of space in the open floor plan, bathe in the sun filtering through the plethora of windows and relax alongside one of the six stone-sculptured fireplaces, a reflection of the creeks that run alongside this rustic work of art.

canopy. Only in the Sierra Range do pines grow at such a low elevation, interspersed with oaks, cottonwoods and aspens. These emerald forests frame a pristine mountain meadowland whose palette changes color with the seasons. The ranch has 11 ponds and three year-round creeks for fishing and kayaking, and, as winter falls, light snowfall creates a gentle blanket for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, as well as ice skating on a private lake.

Nearby, a heliport allows for private access onto the ranch, but finding city amenities means leaving the valley. Thirty minutes from the ranch, Quincy, one of three major mountain communities in California, offers opportunities for dining and shopping, as well as an airport with private jet access. Commercial airport access and a plethora of fine dining, shopping and entertainment venues await guest homes. The bunkhouse, blacksmith shop, granary, as well as

Big Timber The Little Town That Can

by Bill Muhlenfeld and Philip Land

“The rain of last night wet us all. [NB: having no tent, & no covering but a buffaloe skin] I had the horses all Collected early and Set out, proceeded over the point of a ridge and through an open low bottom crossed a large Creek which heads in a high Snow toped Mountain to the N W. imediately opposit to the enterance of the Creek one Something larger falls in from the high Snow mountains to the S W. & South those Creeks I call Rivers across.”

- William Clark Journal, July 17, 1806

hether Clark’s Rivers Across, Dornix at the time of the old sawmill, or Big Timber when the railway left its own legacy, the area around the Boulder and Yellowstone rivers has always

been characterized by enterprise and enduring beauty.

In 1895, Big Timber was the largest producer of wool in the United States, shipping more than five million pounds in just one year.

Sweet Grass County and Big Timber are today home to less than

4,000 residents, many of whom are attracted by the dual benefit of living in a place where small business is encouraged; and where one is daily rewarded with incredible vistas and landscapes unmatched for living and recreational opportunities. In Big Timber there is room for most every pursuit, whether it be a business that builds world-class golf courses or an afternoon of fishing on the Yellowstone River. The local business people seem to have a common bond and connection to each other, born of odd diversity and a distinct common ground. According

“There is a notable diversity in the community of Big Timber. There are

to Philip Land, a local real estate broker, “People come here because they descendants of homesteaders, there are newcomers who arrived as quickly as they could, there are well-known national and international celebrities want to live here, not because they have to.” and business persons, as well as people from every walk of life. In the finest Though the Sweet Grass Chamber of Commerce boasts some 68 sense of the word, Big Timber is a melting pot of opportunity, success and members, the true level of small business and entrepreneurship runs achievement. There is transplanted Southern hospitality dating back to after much deeper than the hardware store, restaurants, or salons of main the Civil War, Norwegian stoicism, and pioneer independence. We are not a street business. There are two custom rifle companies, a substantial stereotypical Montana town….Big Timber is singularly unique and made up of honeybee enterprise, a forge operation for specialized iron work, a a friendly, accomplished blend of artists, sportsman, craftsman, professionals, large, grass-fed beef ranch, a company that does customer survey work entrepreneurs, and, yes, even some real cowboys.” worldwide and many “stealth” businesses like that of Ron McAdams, Philip Land The Land Brokers who is a self-styled “business advisor,” working with a company in

San Francisco. “I live here because of lifestyle,” says Ron. “I’ve got a good one.”

“Lifestyle,” is the common refrain among business owners in Big

Timber, who seem to couple rugged, Western determinism with a strong desire to enjoy “the great outdoors” and fully appreciate the benefits of small town living. Any sense of isolation is readily buffered by the easy, one hour drive to the bustle of Bozeman or Billings, their cultural attractions and international airports. Not that Big Timber is lacking in any area. The Grand Hotel’s talented head chef, Amy Smith, “Big Timber has changed completely over the years. We used to have a laundry and dry cleaning business, two clothing or mercantile stores, a five and dime (sundries) type of store, two drugstores, three grocery stores a creamery and numerous other business. Today we have far fewer small, storefront businesses; but the ones we do have seem stronger, and it seems like we continue to attract the kind of people who are still tough of spirit, willing to run both their businesses and lives in independent ways.”

Barbara Van Cleve Photographer

has for 20 years served up some of the best dining in Montana, right in downtown Big Timber. She has prepared food for the likes of local residents Michael Keaton (a regular) and Tom Brokaw, and visitors like Jimmy Buffet, Robert Redford, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and retired Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, all of whom would likely respond “lifestyle” if asked why they now homestead or visit Sweet Grass County.

An unexpected surprise, fine businesses like the Grand Hotel are

what make Big Timber so special. Within shooting distance of each other, C. Sharps Arms and Shiloh Rifles offer their worldwide clientele the finest quality in custom-made, single shot rifles. According to owner, John Schoffstall, custom rifles from C. Sharps Arms have been in great demand since he set up shop in 1975. Both C. Sharps and Shiloh sell their product worldwide through both reputation and the Internet. Also in downtown Big Timber, Custom Survey Solutions Inc. (CSSI) does world-class customer relationship work for the likes of McDonald’s, Compass, Motorola and Verizon…and 99% of its business comes from outside Montana. “We have had many long-term clients that kind of forget we are located in a small town,” says CSSI owner Tim Yuzeitis.

“They will call and say, “Now where is Big Timber again?”

Where, indeed. When the business and service are both of quality,

Big Timber is singularly unique and made up of a friendly, accomplished blend of artists, sportsman, craftsman, professionals, entrepreneurs, and, yes, even some real cowboys.

“Having been raised in or near Big Timber, I have always felt that for our size, Big Timber has a great variety of businesses and feel because of this we continue to prosper and attract more smaller businesses. Those businesses may not always have the selection that larger towns are able to provide, but we have something for everyone! Our cost of living and doing business is lower than most larger areas, as well.”

Businesses do “come and go” in Big Timber, as they do everywhere.

Gone are many small town enterprises like the grocery and general stores of old, and newer businesses like Wheelsmith Fabrications, which was sold to a Milwaukee company in 2006. Barbara Van Cleve, an internationally accomplished photographer, whose works are sought after by collectors and museums, has seen these businesses come and go, though her own

Big Timber has often had fame rub up against it like a skittish horse.

Both The River Runs Through It and The Horse Whisperer were filmed in the area, and the Discovery Channel has made much of life in the Boulder Valley. But such notoriety and prosperity is temporary and fleeting. What remains in the end is the deep and lasting beauty of Sweet Grass County, the sky-bending beauty of the Beartooth-Absaroka and Crazy mountain ranges, the hypnotic draw of its rivers and streams…and the seemingly tireless enterprise of Big Timber and its area residents. It is hard to imagine a better place to prosper…or to just be alive. v For more information on finding properties in the Big Timber area, contact The Land Brokers at 406 930-5362 or visit www.TheLandBrokers.net This article is scheduled to run in the Winter 2012 issue of Distinctly Montana: www.DistinctlyMontana.com.

Positioned on the northern side of the Judith Mountain Range, the Ranch is a rare opportunity to own one of the premier blockedup and contiguous grass ranches in the Big Sky State. The Ranch is ideally located in one of Central

t c ntra

Montana’s most desirable and appealing areas. Lewistown and Fergus County afford all the resources required for successful ranching and personal enjoyment of a safe and quiet lifestyle away from the maddening crowds of metropolitan America. The Horse Ranch was first put together to supply

o C der

remount horses for the U.S. Cavalry in forts throughout the vast Montana Territory in the 1860s and into the 1890s. The Ranch was purchased by Vernon F. Taylor in 1947 and held in the Taylor Family

Un

until 1963 when it was passed on to his son, James C. Taylor. These visionaries have spent the last 64 years creatively shaping and improving this significant holding. The expansive operation contains sufficient hay meadows and summer pasture to comfortably run 700 to 750 head of brood cows on a year ’round basis plus a full complement of replacement heifers and bulls. Even to the untrained eye, it is apparent that the grazing resource has been managed conservatively. The remarkable condition of this historic ranch is the result of over six decades of masterful stewardship. The deep timbered draws and grassy plateaus also provide prime habitat for the resident elk herd, trophy mule deer, antelope, wild turkey and upland game birds including sharp-tailed grouse, pheasant and sage grouse. The Horse Ranch represents an unusual opportunity to acquire a true operating ranch with enough size and carrying capacity to make some business sense even in today’s tumultuous economic climate. Prospective buyers in solid financial condition with an interest in portfolio diversification and a desire to own one of Montana’s true working outfits should seriously consider The Horse Ranch. It is rare to find a large contiguous land holding with such strong operating resources and authentic history. The Ranch is offered at $15,000,000 by one of Montana’s most respected ranching families.
