Located just minutes from the heart of Bozeman, Montana Running Elk Ranch is the most notable Gallatin Valley property to come on the market in recent history. Its unique local location, size of contiguous acreage and quality of its substantial infrastructure rival virtually any property in its class in the Rocky Mountain West. Encompassing 1940 +/- acres in one block with a 2-1/2 mile eastern border to over 72,000 acres of contiguous Gallatin National Forest land and west and south borders of nearly 900 acres of state land give the ranch a true "back to the wall" sense of privacy. Combine this privacy, acreage and infrastructure with being 11 miles from the core of downtown Bozeman and 10 miles from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport truly make it one of a kind. Running Elk Ranch is a beautiful mixed terrain of Aspen meadows and Alpine timbered draws dropping off the Bridger Mountains into expansive rolling foothills and farmland all under the jaw dropping backdrop of Ross Peak and the Bridger Mountains to the east and the Spanish Peaks, Gallatin Peak and Tobacco Root Mountains to the south and west. Mizer Creek along with numerous other small springs flow from the mountain canyons contributing to the various water rights serving the property along with a braid of five separate ponds which stair step their way up into the lower Aspen groves. The privacy, abundant water and mixed terrain provide home and shelter to virtually every Rocky Mountain animal and bird species known including the ranches namesake, Elk, with a large local herd essentially residing on the property and bordering National Forest land. Owners will enjoy all that this incredible property has to offer from the comfort of homes and amenities designed and built to stand the test of time. With a mix of reclaimed wood, stone and steel combined with luxury fit and finish, Locati Architects and SBC combined to create warm and welcoming spaces that take advantage of the views and privacy of the land. The infrastructure is substantial, with a main home, alpine guest house, caretakers home, equipment shop and one of the largest indoor equine facilities in the area. Intermixed into the lower compound is a trap/skeet range, 1000 yard gun range, ponds, water features, fenced playground and outdoor riding arena all connected by over 10 miles of improved roads and trails including a new road and prepped site for another primary home on the bluff overlooking it all.
