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.

MLS users should be advised and should advise prospective purchasers to verify all information regarding the property by their own independent investigation prior to submitting an offer to purchase the property.

What our clients are saying:

My wife and I used Jody Savage for the sale of our home in Gallatin Gateway, MT. Jody was exceptional in all phases of our sale. We had multiple offers over asking price and sold our home in two days! Jody uses up to date modern marketing, was extremely professional and knowledgeable regarding our market and addressing our needs. She was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. Jody is the best in the business and we highly recommend her services!

G.B.

Jody is amazing. She knows the market and was able to advise us on all our many concerns. We so appreciated how responsive she was; within minutes of submitting an online request for realtor contact on a house, she had called us. All our communications with her were like that; we never had to wait long to hear back from her. She was patient and always willing to sit down and meet with us. When we found the house we wanted, she worked tirelessly to secure it for us, and she was extremely patient with us. She was easy to communicate with, understand, and a pleasure to work with – I highly recommend Jody!

J.T.

Jody is FANTASTIC!! We were first time home buyers and she was with us ever step of the way! She never made us feel silly for being new to the process. She definitely knows the area, always kept us up to date on new listings and was just a delight to work with. I would have absolutely zero hesitation recommending her to anyone. Thanks for all the hard-work Jody! We love our house!

K.G.

Jody was awesome to work with. We were new to the area and she was helpful and knowledgeable about not only the housing market, but schools, and lenders. She worked with my work schedule for showings. Jody also stayed late to write an offer to meet our schedule. I would recommend Jody to anyone needing a realtor.

M.L.

Jody Savage is knowledgeable, trustworthy and tireless. I purchased a property this spring (2017) near Bozeman; Jody represented me as well as the seller in the transaction. Jody led me through the entire process because this was the first property I had ever purchased. HOA complications and other details made the purchase more difficult. Jody undertook a boat-load of legwork to make the transaction go smoothly. I hope to work with Jody again.
