Property Details
This extraordinary 24,631 acre ranch is exactly what a true Montana ranch should look like. Its western boundaries are heavily timbered breaks that feed into lightly timbered, Ponderosa Pine covered coulees. These Pine covered coulees feed easterly, down through rolling grassy meadows that lead to a lush riparian habitat along the banks of the Big Horn River.
The ranch has two State Leases totaling 1,280 acres. These two sections are legally described as Section 36, T04NR33E, ALL 640 AC (03) & Section 16, T03NR33E, ALL.
The improvements on the ranch include four homes, one modular and the historic cabin that provide modern living accommodations for employees and guests. The homes have been maintained and updated as needed. Demographics make the homes separate and offer privacy for the occupants.
Out buildings at the main headquarters include the following: two open faced buildings that provide protection for farm equipment, a large heated shop, oil shed, a mill for grinding grains, 100,000 bushels of grain storage, a vet barn, and scale house.
One of the houses is perfectly located along the timbered foothills on the ranch’s western boundary. Providing easy access to some of Montana’s finest Elk & mule deer hunting. This set of improvements is approximately 7 miles from the other improvements and includes an additional log barn, granary, shop and a steel building.
The previous owners, T.L. Kemph had a vision. That vision included early day history of the people who settled this part of Montana. He had the vision to enlarge his property and was able to purchase land as it came up for sale, creating this heritage ranch which encompasses land from the Big Horn River to Interstate 94. In 1964, his youngest son, installed the first pivot sprinklers in the State of Montana and were one of the first livestock producers to introduce Simmental cattle to this area.
