About This Lot
Bulls and Bucks Ranch | +/- 3,010 Acres | Plains, Montana
Encompassing approximately 3,010 acres in the panoramic mountain valley outside Plains, Bulls and Bucks Ranch is a premier hunting and recreational holding in northwest Montana. The property offers outstanding opportunities for elk, deer, bear and turkey hunting across diverse terrain, combining adventure, solitude, and accessibility in equal measure.
Location & Access:
The ranch lies in a region celebrated for its striking mountain scenery and abundant wildlife. Though entirely private, it is only minutes from the conveniences of Plains, with Missoula International Airport about an hour to the south and Kalispell roughly ninety minutes north. If you want to entertain out of state guests than Glacier National Park is only a 2 hour drive north.
Land & Habitat:
The landscape is defined by timbered ridges, rolling hillsides, and numerous buildable benches that offer commanding views of the surrounding mountains and Clark Fork River. A large portion of the ranch borders the Lolo National Forest, providing direct access to thousands of additional acres of public land. Nearly 50 miles of improved internal roads allow for exceptional access throughout. Water resources are abundant, with a live creeks, several seasonal drainages, and a spring-fed wildlife pond developed to enhance habitat. Trail cameras routinely capture elk, deer, bear and turkey utilizing these features.
Located within a general hunting district and exceeding Montana’s 2,500-acre threshold for non-resident landowner permits, the ranch provides favorable odds for drawing elk and deer tags each year but provides general over the county resident tags for elk, deer and bear.
Improvements & Recreation:
Three newly constructed, on-grid cabins complement the land’s usability. Each is equipped with a water from a private well and septic system, together accommodating up to twelve guests. The cabins are ideally suited for hunting parties, family gatherings, or private retreats. Beyond the property, an access point to the Clark Fork River lies just minutes from the main entrance, offering smallmouth bass, walleye, rainbow trout and northern pike fishing, while numerous world-class trout streams and rivers are within an hour’s drive.
Opportunity:
Bulls and Bucks Ranch embodies the essence of northwest Montanarugged yet accessible, wild yet practical. Large, turn-key holdings of this size and quality are increasingly uncommon in the region, making it an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a legacy-scale property with immediate usability and enduring appeal.
