Encompassing approximately 3,047 acres in the panoramic mountain valley outside Plains, Bulls and Bucks Ranch is a premier hunting and recreational holding in northwest Montana. The property offers outstanding opportunities for elk, deer, bear and turkey hunting across diverse terrain, combining adventure, solitude, and accessibility in equal measure.

The landscape is defined by timbered ridges, rolling hillsides, and numerous buildable benches that offer commanding views of the surrounding mountains and Clark Fork River. A large portion of the ranch borders the Lolo National Forest, providing direct access to thousands of additional acres of public land. Nearly 50 miles of improved internal roads allow for exceptional access throughout. Water resources are abundant, with a live creeks, several seasonal drainages, and a spring-fed wildlife pond developed to enhance habitat. Trail cameras routinely capture elk, deer, bear and turkey utilizing these features.

Improvements & Recreation:
Three newly constructed, on-grid cabins complement the land’s usability. Each is equipped with a water from a private well and septic system, together accommodating up to twelve guests. The cabins are ideally suited for hunting parties, family gatherings, or private retreats.

Opportunity:
Bulls and Bucks Ranch embodies the essence of northwest Montana—rugged yet accessible, wild yet practical. Large, turn-key holdings of this size and quality are increasingly uncommon in the region, making it an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a legacy-scale property with immediate usability and enduring appeal.
