Property Description
Perched above the Beaverhead Valley approximately 9 miles south of Twin Bridges, Seven Ranges Ranch is an exceptional 77.22± acre Montana legacy property where breathtaking scenery, private aviation amenities, quality improvements, and outstanding recreational opportunities converge. Positioned at the end of a private road, the property offers remarkable privacy while capturing panoramic views that stretch across the valley and encompass seven mountain ranges. From sunrise over the surrounding peaks to evening sunsets across the valley floor, the property's elevated setting provides a constantly changing backdrop of Montana's iconic big-sky scenery. One of the property's most significant attributes is the protected landscape surrounding it. A substantial conservation easement bordering the western boundary helps preserve the area's open-space character, safeguards the magnificent views, and limits future development. This neighboring conservation land creates a lasting buffer that enhances both privacy and the long-term enjoyment of the property. For those seeking a true Montana legacy ranch, this protected setting provides confidence that the surrounding landscape will remain largely unchanged for generations to come. The property's improvements are anchored by a thoughtfully positioned custom home designed to capture the surrounding scenery from nearly every direction. Offering just under 2,000 square feet of living space plus a versatile loft area, the residence combines Montana character, modern comforts, and expansive windows that frame the Beaverhead Valley and surrounding mountain ranges. Complementing the home are a heated shop with apartment, private runway, insulated hangar, horse facilities, and dedicated shooting ranges, creating a property that is equally suited for recreation, aviation, and year-round living. The surrounding region is recognized as one of Montana's premier outdoor recreation destinations. The Beaverhead River, Big Hole River, Ruby River, and Jefferson River are all within convenient reach and offer exceptional trout fishing opportunities. Extensive public lands throughout the Beaverhead-Deer Lodge National Forest, Tobacco Root Mountains, Highland Mountains, Gravelly Range, Blacktail Mountains, Madison Range, and Pioneer Mountains provide countless opportunities for hunting, hiking, horseback riding, ATV exploration, camping, and backcountry adventures. Whether your passion is fly fishing, big game hunting, horseback riding, aviation, shooting sports, or simply exploring Montana's vast landscapes, this location places it all within easy reach. Yellowstone National Park is only 90 minutes away.
Wildlife is a consistent presence throughout the property. Deer and antelope frequently travel across the ranch as they move between native range and the lush irrigated pivot fields below in the valley. Watching wildlife from the deck, through the home's expansive windows, or while exploring the acreage is a regular occurrence and one of the many benefits of ownership. Aviation enthusiasts will immediately appreciate the rarity of a private runway paired with a recently constructed airplane hangar. The hangar is insulated, heated, and equipped with a premium Higher Power hangar door system, creating an outstanding facility for aircraft storage, maintenance, and operations. Opportunities to own a private runway property with this level of privacy, scenery, and infrastructure are increasingly difficult to find. An insulated and heated shop with electric radiant heat and 100-amp electrical service provides exceptional flexibility for equipment storage, projects, and workshop activities. Above the shop is a well-appointed apartment that serves as ideal guest quarters, accommodations for extended family, or caretaker housing. Both the residence and apartment are served by permitted septic systems. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the property's horse facilities, which include fenced pastures and a barn. The acreage provides ample room for grazing, riding, and enjoying Montana's rural lifestyle while remaining conveniently located near area communities and services. The ranch also offers exceptional on-site recreational amenities. Dedicated rifle and pistol shooting ranges provide opportunities for target practice, training, and recreational shooting. The rifle range includes a purpose-built shooting structure, adding functionality and comfort. For those seeking additional long-range opportunities, both the Butte Gun Club and Manhattan Wildlife Association gun club near Three Forks are within reach and are widely respected among Montana shooting enthusiasts. Returning to the residence, the home's thoughtful design and quality improvements continue to impress. Large windows throughout were intentionally incorporated to maximize natural light and showcase the surrounding landscape, ensuring that mountain views remain a focal point from nearly every room. Exposed wood beams, slate flooring, warm finishes, and an inviting floor plan create a comfortable atmosphere that complements the property's rugged beauty while maintaining everyday functionality. The spacious master bedroom enjoys excellent natural light and surrounding views, while the master bath features a large, tiled walk-in shower, jetted soaking tub, and double vanity. A guest bedroom and additional bathroom provide accommodations for family and visitors. The living room is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace that serves as both a focal point and an efficient supplemental heat source. Central heating provides year-round comfort, while an adjoining library offers a quiet retreat for reading, working, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. The kitchen has been updated with all appliances replaced within the last three years, providing modern convenience and functionality. Large UV-blocking windows in the living room and master bath help improve efficiency while protecting interior finishes and furnishings. Fiber optic internet service supports remote work, business operations, and streaming capabilities, while a reverse osmosis system and water softener enhance water quality. An oversized, two-car, insulated and heated garage keeps your vehicles securely out of the weather. Outdoor living is equally impressive, highlighted by a premium new deck completed in 2025 using a high-end decorator-grade product carrying a 50-year warranty when professionally installed. Combined with approximately 750 square feet of covered decks and porches, these outdoor spaces provide exceptional locations to entertain guests, enjoy meals outdoors, observe wildlife, and take in the panoramic scenery. Despite its private setting, the property remains conveniently located near Twin Bridges. The community offers local dining, schools, essential services, and community events while maintaining the convenience and character of a small Montana town. Additional shopping, healthcare, commercial services, and amenities can be found in Dillon and Butte. Properties offering panoramic mountain views, private aviation infrastructure, quality residential improvements, horse facilities, shooting ranges, abundant wildlife, protected neighboring landscapes, and no covenants are increasingly rare in today's market. Combined with access to world-class fishing, extensive public lands, and a conservation-protected setting that helps preserve the surrounding landscape, Seven Ranges Ranch represents an outstanding opportunity to own a truly special Montana legacy property.
