BRUMFIELD RIDGE RANCH

Reed Point, Montana

$1,100,000

487± Acres

INTRODUCTION

Brumfield Ridge Ranch commands a high position in the Countryman Creek valley, set along the divide between the Yellowstone and Stillwater River systems. From its elevated ridgelines, the ranch offers expansive, uninterrupted views of the Beartooth Mountains, delivering a strong sense of scale, openness, and Western character that is increasingly difficult to find.

Nearly 500 acres of rolling grasslands are interspersed with substantial stands of ponderosa pine and cedar, creating a balanced landscape well-suited for grazing, wildlife habitat, and future development. Brumfield Road follows the upper ridgeline while Countryman Creek Road defines the southern boundary, providing good county road access to the property. From the crest of Brumfield Ridge, the terrain carries the visual weight and presence associated with classic Montana ranch country.

Infrastructure is thoughtfully distributed, including a medium-sized pole barn shop and multiple powered well sites. A primary well supplies the corrals and fills a large stock tank while also pumping water to tanks positioned higher on the ranch. Several developed springs provide reliable year-round water, complemented by two seasonal creeks that typically run into midsummer, supporting both livestock and wildlife use.

Wildlife is abundant and well-established, with consistent populations of mule deer, sharp-tailed grouse, and Hungarian partridge, as well as frequent elk movement across the ranch. The property lies within Montana’s 575 Hunting District, a general elk tag area allowing either-sex harvest, adding meaningful recreational value.

The ranch also offers multiple compelling building sites, particularly along the timbered ridge above the barn. These elevated locations capture expansive views across the surrounding Front Range and valleys, combining privacy, elevation, and dramatic scenery.

Brumfield Ridge Ranch boasts a practical yet private location, approximately 20 minutes from Reed Point or Columbus, offering convenient access to dining, supplies, and services. The ranch also provides access to the Yellowstone River and Stillwater River, perfect for fishing and floating. Big Timber is roughly 45 minutes away, while Red Lodge and Billings are both within an hour. Bozeman is accessible in under two hours, making the ranch well-positioned for both day-to-day needs and regional travel.

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:

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:

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.
