Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Beartooth Mountain Range, Running River Ranchette is an extraordinary Montana property offering nearly a mile of frontage on East Rosebud Creek, one of the region’s most sought-after blue-ribbon trout fisheries. From the moment you step outside, the experience is immediate and unmatched walk straight off your back porch and into world-class fly fishing, with crystal-clear water and thriving trout populations just steps from your door.
The views are nothing short of spectacular. Towering peaks, rolling meadows, and the constant presence of the Beartooths create a setting that feels both expansive and private true Big Sky Country at its finest. Whether enjoying morning coffee on the deck or evenings watching the light settle on the mountains, the property offers a daily connection to Montana’s most iconic scenery.
The 6,274-square-foot residence is thoughtfully designed to complement its surroundings and features seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and an additional office. Spacious yet comfortable, the home is ideal for hosting family, friends, or clients and is being offered nearly fully furnished with brand-new bedroom sets, making it a true turnkey opportunity.
Spanning four separate parcels, the property offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term flexibility. Each parcel allows for a single-family home along with a barn, guest house, and shop or shed, making it well suited for a multi-generational compound or future development. Each parcel enjoys its own stretch of creek frontage, and three parcels include irrigation rights from the Antelope Creek Ditch, supporting approximately 40 acres of irrigated ground.
The property is exceptionally well set up for horses or livestock. Multiple weather shelters are positioned within designated pastures and enclosed by continuous piped fencing, providing durability, function, and a clean, high-end aesthetic. This turnkey setup allows immediate use for livestock operations.
Recreational opportunities extend beyond fishing, with excellent hunting throughout the area. Whitetail deer are abundant, while elk and black bear are known to frequent the property, adding further value for outdoor enthusiasts.
The land is both scenic and productive, featuring approximately 40 acres of hay ground that produced 79 round bales from a single cutting last season ideal for supporting livestock through the winter months.
A newly constructed 40x60 shop adds outstanding functionality and includes in-floor radiant heat, a bathroom, utility room, and additional unfinished space suitable for a bedroom, office, or storage. The shop includes two 12x10 overhead doors and three 10x8 garage doors, providing excellent access for equipment and recreational gear.

A modern camera system with remote access provides peace of mind whether on-site or away.
