ACREAGE Jack Creek Overlook boasts two ponds on 160± usable mountain acres in a stunning alpine setting. Mature fir, pine, and aspen trees combined with vast wildflower meadows gently slope toward the Spanish Peak mountains. This property is surrounded by large private ranches. Enjoy direct access to the BeaverheadDeerlodge National Forest via a short, private easement. This easement provides thousands of additional acres to horseback ride, hunt, and hike to multiple mountain lakes. Jack Creek Overlook is protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement, as are most private ranches in the Jack Creek drainage adjoining Moonlight Basin. These ranches serve as a protected link between the north and south portions of National Forest, providing critical connectivity for the local wildlife. Due to the proximity of Moonlight Basin and Big Sky Resort, the Jack Creek drainage would likely have been developed over time if not for the forward-thinking of the landowners in the area. The aggregate effect of these conservation easements ensures that this beautiful valley will be protected for the benefit of its very few residents and the wildlife that call it home.

RECREATION fishing The Madison River is just 35± minutes from the ranch. The Madison is arguably the most famous fly fishing river in the world due to its early notoriety from such legendary fly fishers as Joe Brooks, Charles Brooks, and Bud Lilly and its scenic beauty and incredible numbers and size of trout. The river begins in Yellowstone Park at the Gibbon and Firehole Rivers’ confluence and is a productive fishery for its entire 120-miles. The Madison combines with the Jefferson and Gallatin Rivers near Three Forks to form the Missouri River. Throughout its length, the Madison changes character from riffle, run, and pool water to turbulent pocket water to a stretch commonly referred to as “the 50-mile riffle.” The Madison is known for its dry fly fishing. From blue-winged olives and midges in the springtime, the salmon fly hatch in June, mayflies, caddis, hoppers, and terrestrials in the summer, and back to blue-winged olives and midges in the fall and winter - throw in some of the best streamer fishing in the state, as well as excellent nymph fishing, and you have a river that can provide a lifetime of entertainment. The resident fish on the upper reaches of the Madison include rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout. In June, anglers come from all over to fish the world-famous salmon fly hatch on the Madison. The adult salmon fly is 2-3 inches long and can drive the largest trout in the river to forego their cautious ways and feed with reckless abandon. It would be difficult to find a location with more quality fly fishing options than southwestern Montana. The Gallatin, Beaverhead, Henry’s Fork, Ruby, and Big Hole Rivers are within about 30 to 90 minutes of the property. The famous Yellowstone River is about two hours to the east. Extensive miles of trout streams are also accessible in Yellowstone National Park, only a 90± minute drive south. www.fayranches.com | (800) 238.8616 | info@fayranches.com 9
Hunting & Wildlife The big game hunting on the ranch and in the area is incredible due to excellent genetics, tremendous habitat, and a lack of public hunting thanks to the private, gated Jack Creek Road. This lack of pressure has allowed fellow landowners to manage the local elk herds. The result is a herd with many trophy elk that score 350 inches and above. The elk have an opportunity to develop as mature adult animals into their 5th year and beyond. Due to the lack of hunting on the public land nearby, enjoy thousands of acres in addition to your 160± to roam in search of the perfect trophy. Other wildlife that frequent Jack Creek Overlook and the nearby National Forest include mountain lion, grouse, mule deer, bear, lynx, bobcats, wolves, wolverines, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, and a variety of raptures.
