Springhill Valley Parcels | Fay Ranches

INTRODUCTION

Nestled in the Springhill community at the base of the Bridger Mountain Range is an opportunity to own a “best in class” mountain property in the Gallatin Valley. It is incredibly difficult to find large parcels within minutes of Bozeman, bordering National Forest and offering Montana’s iconic views that you must see to believe. However, these available offerings provide that and more. The backdrop to these offerings includes the most renowned peaks in the Bridger Mountain Range, Ross Peak and Sacajawea, and are comprised of rolling foothills with aspen-filled draws and hillsides covered with evergreens. The Springhill community has long been a sought-after location in the Gallatin Valley. As one of the first settlements, the history is deep, and family roots even deeper. A one-room country schoolhouse, along with the Presbyterian Church and Springhill Pavilion, is still used today. Each of the available properties overlooks this historic farming community just off Springhill Community Road.

The location is a magnet for an elk herd that meanders in and out of the area throughout the year, along with whitetail, mule deer, black bear, and mountain grouse. These properties are a year-round playground with endless opportunities, including backcountry skiing, hiking, mountain biking, big game, and upland bird hunting. The available properties range from 94± to 200± acres, each with a developed road to a suggested build site.

Just 20± minutes from Bozeman, Montana’s most vibrant mountain town, the properties have easy access to world-class amenities but are far enough away to unplug and enjoy privacy and solitude.

LOCATION

B ozeman

The properties are a 20± minute drive from the vibrant university town of Bozeman (population 56,000±), home to Montana State University and the Museum of the Rockies. Bozeman has received national accolades for its scenic location, endless outdoor activities, world-class amenities, and historic downtown. Bozeman restaurants and shops have become favorite places for those who love nature, whether fishing, hunting, skiing, mountain biking, or hiking.

Bozeman hosts various community events, from weekly farmers markets to music concerts, allowing locals to find something to do almost every day. Over the summer, the Sweet Pea Festival is a local favorite, hosting artists selling handmade goods and musicians performing over a weekend in Linley Park. The Christmas Stroll event, held annually in December, blocks off Main Street to allow for an evening of festivities, great food, and fun to start the holiday season. Bozeman is known for its worldclass skiing close to town. The Baxter Hotel on Main Street has a “Blue Light” that flashes and blinks whenever Bridger Bowl, the local ski resort, gets fresh snow letting the locals know its time to ski. Whether you hit the town to one of many award-winning restaurants or drive a short 15± minutes from town to the local ski resort, there is something to do for everyone.

Bozeman, Montana

Y ellowstone

Head about 1.5± hours on Highway 89 through Paradise Valley to Gardiner, Montana, and you’ll find Yellowstone National Park’s north entrance. It allows access to fishing opportunities and public land. Elk, bighorn sheep, mule and white-tail deer, coyotes, wolves, pronghorn antelope, eagles, moose, mountain goats, bears, bison, and an array of other animals find suitable ranges and habitats in the Park. The 2.2-million-acre park is one of America’s most famous and significant national parks and features picturesque waterfalls, canyons, and notorious geysers.

GETTING THERE

Bozeman-Yellowstone International Airport is the transportation hub for southwest Montana and is located approximately 15± minutes from the properties. The airport caters to corporate and private aircraft as well as provides hanger rentals. It is serviced by numerous daily flights from Delta, United, American, Alaska, Allegiant, Frontier, Avelo, Jet Blue, Southwest, Sun Country, and Jet Suite.

RECREATION

F ishing

The Madison, Yellowstone, and Gallatin rivers are located within 30± to 60± minutes of the properties 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 rivers are known for their dry fly fishing. From Blue Wing Olives and midges in the spring, the salmon fly hatch in June, mayflies, caddis, hoppers, and terrestrials in the summer, and back to Blue Wing 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 and excellent nymph fishing at all times of the year. You’ve got a variety of rivers that can provide a lifetime of entertainment for beginners and seasoned veterans. Fish in these rivers can exceed 24 inches.

The Jefferson, Ruby, Big Hole, Missouri, and Beaverhead are other rivers within a 1.5-hour drive from the properties and offer world-class trout fishing. Several internationally famed “fee” spring creek fisheries are also close.

One and a half hours 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 outstanding, even through winter. These spring creeks are natural wonders emerging from the ground, with a large volume of nutrient-rich water providing 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. About two hours of travel time will put you into the Henry’s Fork watershed in Idaho or 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 like the Madison and Gallatin within their 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 within such a small area.

h unting and o ther r ecreation

The terrain on the property is easy to navigate, allowing for stress-free horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, backcountry skiing, and four-wheeling. In addition, trails connect to the adjacent Gallatin National Forest, offering convenient access to hundreds of thousands of pristine public land acres, expanding the properties back yard into a never-ending playground.

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 white-tail and mule deer. To add to the appeal, the properties are positioned in a “general tag” hunting district, allowing an out-of-state owner to purchase a combination tag for a bull elk and a white-tail deer. In contrast, the mule deer tag is a special draw.

The property will also provide opportunities for upland bird hunting as the property holds a huntable population of Hungarian Partridge and Mountain Grouse.
