MONTANA'S BEST. Mission Meadow Lodge Livingston This is a well-kept wilderness sanctuary that shows pride of ownership. The Meadow features an earthen 3-car garage, wood working shop, and an exquisite 2,672 sq. ft. hand crafted log home. The natural trees and vegetation—plus the use of nature, rocks and logs to build with—give this property a real Montana feel. This 16+/- acre retreat has a year-round stream plus a spring-fed pond. There is a wide variety of wildlife, including deer, elk, moose, bear, mountain lion and upland bird. $795,000. Stillwater Lodge Columbus This 5 bedroom, 3 ½ bath home is a sophisticated 5,477+/- sq. ft. Large enough for family and guests, yet warm and naturally inviting. The home was meticulously de- signed and built in 2007 to let in the natural light and create a sense of visual space. The floors are distressed walnut, with knotty alder cabinets and granite countertops. The 2+/- acre property is surrounded by a large working cattle ranch with lots of wildlife. There is a pond out the back window with a fountain, stream and gazebo from which to enjoy the views. Located just 5 minutes from downtown Columbus, with the Beartooth Mountains as a dramatic backdrop. $1,750,000. Yellowstone Riffle Ranch Grey Cliff This 190+/- acre property has over 1 mile of the free-flowing Yellowstone River along with two private ponds right out the front door. Besides the river view, the 5,500 sq. ft. custom built home, along with a separate care-takers home, has spectacular views of the Crazy Mountains, Beartooth Mountains, the Grey Cliffs and pine covered draws. All of the Montana Big Sky amenities are nearby—yet the property is still very private. Surrounded by a pristine 27,000 acre working ranch, the Yellowstone Riffle Ranch is 12 miles east of the quaint town of Big Timber and just 1 hour from the Billings Inter- national Airport. $2,975,000. Eagle's Bend on the Boulder McLeod The Eagle's Bend offers 113+/- acres of prime Boulder River beauty and almost a mile of blue ribbon trout fishing. The Boulder River Valley is one of the most sought-after areas in the northwest. It has become a Montana destination for the affluent and dis- criminating buyer. The peace and tranquility you experience at the Eagle's Bend while gazing over the Boulder River, with the backdrop of the Lion's Head, Boones Peak, and Green Mountain make it easy to understand why we call it "The Best Last Place." $3,495,000. Little Beartooth Plus Reed Point Located in a quiet mountain valley bordered by pine covered rock bluffs on approxi- mately 2,640+/- acres of Montana's Big Sky Country. Approximately one mile of Bridg- er Creek winds through the property, parallel to the historic Bozeman Trail. With the wide open spaces, privacy and seclusion that you will experience at Little Beartooth Plus, it is hard to believe that I-90 is only 6 miles away. $4,750,000. Dry Fly River Ranch on the Madison, Cameron Located 18 miles south of Ennis along the Madison River between the two mountain ranges and just north of Yellowstone National Park. It has several private spring-fed ponds for fishing, and ranch facilities for horseback riding. This ranch does not have a conservation easement in place, so major tax benefits are available.

Lands include irrigated and sub-irrigated hay meadows, brushy river bottoms, and expansive benches used for hay and pasture. This is a first-time offering since the 1950's. $9,950,000.
