RECREATION fly fishing It would be difficult to find a location where you would have more quality options within a short drive. The Madison, Gallatin, and Yellowstone rivers are located within 30 to 60 minutes of the property and are arguably the most famous fly-fishing rivers in the world due to their scenic beauty and incredible numbers and size of wild trout. The Madison, Yellowstone, and Gallatin rivers are known for their dry fly fishing. From blue winged olives and midges in the spring, the salmon fly hatch in June, mayflies, caddis, hop-pers, and terrestrials in the summer and back to blue winged olives and midges in the fall and winter, the time is always right for fishing this area. Throw in some of the best streamer fishing in the state as well as great nymph fishing at all times of the year and you’ve got a variety of rivers that can provide a lifetime of entertainment for beginners as well as seasoned veterans. Fish in these rivers can exceed 24”. Other rivers that are within 1½-hour drive from the property and offer world class trout fishing are the Jefferson, Ruby, Big Hole, Missouri, and the Beaverhead. Several internationally famed “fee” spring creek fisheries are also close at hand. One- half hour over the hill in the Paradise Valley along the Yellowstone River, Depuy, Armstrong, and Nelson spring creeks attract avid anglers from around the globe. Fishing conditions on these creeks are consistently wonderful, even through winter. These spring creeks are natural wonders emerging from the ground with a large volume of nutrient rich water providing for an enormous amount of aquatic life including an abundance of wild trout. Additionally, there are several tributaries, spring creeks, and mountain lakes in the area that will become known to you as you explore your surroundings. Of course, at times, the lure of traveling further beckons a curious angler. One to two hours of travel time will put you into the Henry’s Fork watershed in Idaho or well into the center of Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone National Park is the birthplace of many of the finest trout rivers in the West. Headwater streams such as the Gibbon, Firehole and Lamar create rivers such as the Madison and Gallatin within its boundaries. The Park hosts a lifetime of fishing opportunities with over a hundred lakes and a thousand miles of streams. Nowhere in the world are so many public rivers and streams found within such a small area. 4

RECREATION HUNTING AND OTHER RECREATION The Corbly Mountain Ranch contains a scenic trail and road system that serves a dual purpose. It serves as a wonderful recreational loop for horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking and four-wheeling. In addition, it offers an efficient connection to numerous trails and portions of the adjacent National Forest that are otherwise time consuming and difficult to access (see map).
The upper reaches of the parcels are lined with forested draws providing habitat for a reliable elk herd. As summer gives way to fall and the rut is in full swing, these draws are a perfect location to bugle in that prized bull elk. Deer hunting on the ranch is also very consistent and offers both whitetail and mule deer. To add to the appeal, the ranch is positioned in a “general tag” hunting district which allows an out-of-state owner the ability to purchase a combination tag for a bull elk and a whitetail deer while the mule deer tag is a special draw. 6

Lower portions of the ranch provide the opportunity for upland bird hunting, as well. Pheasant & Hungarian partridge populations have stabilized as many surrounding landowners have started managing for birds and other wildlife in recent years. The property and the seemingly endless acres of contiguous National Forest provide a mecca for a wide variety of outdoor recreation. Whether you enjoy horseback riding, hiking, biking, or rock climbing the ranch provides an abundance of opportunity all within the boundaries of the ranch and with direct access to numerous trails in the adjacent Forest Service Lands. In addition, the wonders of Yellowstone National Park are only an hour’s drive away.

WATER RIGHTS In all their varied forms and locations, Montana waters belong to the State for the benefit of its people. A water right is the right to use the water within state-established guidelines and not any ownership of the water itself. Since the prior appropriation doctrine guides water rights in Montana, a person’s right to use a specific quantity of water depends on when the use of the water began, establishing the relative priority date of use on the water source. The first person to use water from a source established the first right; the second person could establish a right to the water that was left, and so on. Additionally, water users are limited to the amount of water that can be beneficially used. Beneficial use includes, but is not limited to, agricultural, recreational, fish and wildlife, and domestic purposes. Montana is currently conducting a statewide adjudication of all water rights with priority dates before July 1, 1973. The statewide adjudication is a court process that prioritizes and quantifies all existing water rights in each Montana drainage basin. With eighty-five basins in Montana and over 219,000 water right claims, the statewide adjudication is a massive undertaking expected to stretch well into the future. Until the adjudication process is complete, the status of any particular water rights claim cannot be guaranteed. Fay Ranches, Inc., its brokers, and salespersons do not warrant or make any representation concerning the quantity or quality of any water rights, nor any legal entitlement to use of water rights, permits to appropriate water, exempt existing rights, determination of existing water rights, nor any ditches, ditch rights, or ditch easements appurtenant to or constituting a burden on the property. Water rights claims appurtenant to the property may or may not have been fully or finally adjudicated, and any Buyer is advised to make an offer to purchase contingent upon and subject to such independent inspections, evaluations, and advice concerning the water rights and adjudication process as a Buyer might deem prudent. All Buyers should be aware that Fay Ranches, Inc., its brokers, and salespersons involved in this offering have not conducted an expert inspection or analysis of the water rights for this property.

RELATIONSHIPS IN REAL ESTATE As required by Montana law, a broker or salesperson shall disclose the existence and nature of relevant agency or other relationships to the parties to a real estate transaction. The various relationships and description of duties are as follows: 1. SELLER AGENT A “Seller Agent” is obligated to the Seller to: Act solely in the best interests of the seller; Obey promptly and efficiently all lawful instructions of the seller; Disclose all relevant and material information that concerns the real estate transaction and that is known to the seller agent and not known or discoverable by the seller unless the information is subject to confidentiality arising from a prior or existing agency relationship on the part of the seller agent; Safeguard the seller’s confidences; Exercise reasonable care, skill, and diligence in pursuing the seller’s objectives and in complying with the terms established in the listing agreement; Fully account to the seller for any funds or property of the seller that comes into the seller agent’s possession; and Comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations. Montana law permits a real estate agent, after providing written disclosure to a seller and obtaining a seller’s written consent, to represent multiple sellers of property and to list properties for sale that may compete with the seller’s property, without breaching any obligation to the seller. A “Seller Agent” is obligated to the Buyer to: Disclose to a buyer or the buyer agent any adverse material facts that concern the property and that are known to the seller agent, except that the seller agent is not required to inspect the property or verify any statements made by the seller; Disclose to a buyer or the buyer agent when the seller agent has no personal knowledge of the veracity of information regarding adverse material facts that concern the property; Act in good faith with a buyer and a buyer agent; and Comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations. 2.

DUAL AGENCY
If a seller agent is also representing a buyer, or a buyer agent is also representing a seller with regard to a property, then a
dual agency relationship may be established. In a dual agency relationship, the dual agent is equally obligated to both the seller and the buyer. These obligations may prohibit the dual agent from advocating exclusively on behalf of the seller or buyer and may limit the depth and degree of representation that you receive. A broker or a salesperson may not act as a dual agent without the signed, written consent of both the seller and the buyer. A “Dual Agent” is obligated to a Seller in the same manner as a seller agent and is obligated to a Buyer in the same manner as a buyer agent, except
a dual agent: Has a duty to disclose to a buyer or seller any adverse material facts that are known to the dual agent regardless of any confidentiality considerations; and May not disclose the following information without the written consent of the person to whom the
information
is
confidential; The fact that the buyer is willing to pay more than the offered purchase price; The fact that the seller is willing to accept less than the purchase price that the seller is asking for the property; Factors motivating either party to buy or sell; and Any information that a party indicates in writing to the dual agent is to be kept confidential. 4. STATUTORY BROKER A “Statutory Broker” is not the agent of the Buyer or Seller but nevertheless is obligated to them to: Disclose to: i. a buyer or buyer agent any adverse material facts that concern the property and that are known to the statutory broker, except that the statutory broker is not required to inspect the property or verify any statements made by the seller; and ii. a seller or a seller agent any adverse material facts that are known to the statutory broker and that concern the ability of the buyer to perform on any purchase offer; Exercise reasonable care, skill, and diligence in putting together a real estate transaction, and Comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations. 5. IN-HOUSE SELLER AGENT DESIGNATE
Created when the agency holds both the listing on a property from the seller and a buyer broker
agreement with the buyer, an in-house seller agent designate is a broker or salesperson employed by or associated as an independent contractor with a broker and designated by the broker as the exclusive agent for a seller for a designated transaction and who may not be considered to be acting for other than the seller with respect to the designated transaction. 6. IN-HOUSE BUYER AGENT DESIGNATE
Created when the agency holds both the listing on a property from the seller and a buyer broker
agreement with the buyer, an in-house buyer agent designate is a broker or salesperson employed by or associated as an independent contractor with a broker and designated by the broker as the exclusive agent for a buyer for a designated transaction and who may not be considered to be acting for other than the buyer with respect to the designated transaction. BUYER AGENT A “Buyer Agent” is obligated to the Buyer to: Act solely in the best interests of the buyer; Obey promptly and efficiently all lawful instructions of the buyer; Disclose all relevant and material information that concerns the real estate transaction and that is known to the buyer agent and not known or discoverable by the buyer, unless the information is subject to confidentiality arising from a prior or existing agency relationship on the part of the buyer agent; Safeguard the buyer’s confidences; Exercise reasonable care, skill, and diligence in pursuing the buyer’s objectives and in complying with the terms established in the listing agreement; Fully account to the buyer for any funds or property of the buyer that comes into the buyer agent’s possession; and Comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations. Montana law permits a real estate agent, after providing written disclosure to a buyer and obtaining a buyer’s written consent, to represent multiple buyers interested in buying the same property or similar properties to properties in which a buyer is interested and to show properties in which a buyer is interested to other prospective buyers, without breaching any obligation to the buyer.
