Mallard Springs Ranch

Where the Yellowstone River winds through wide cottonwood bottoms and fertile riverbanks, Mallard Springs Ranch offers a rare opportunity to own an exceptional sporting retreat just 14± miles east of Big Timber, Montana.
Originally acquired in 1983 as a premier waterfowl property, the ranch has been thoughtfully enhanced over the decades with managed wetlands and rare warm-water springs and ponds designed to support exceptional waterfowl habitat. Spanning 326.8± deeded acres between Greycliff and Reed Point, the property sits squarely in Montana's Central Flyway, where ducks funnel through each fall in remarkable numbers. Deer and wild turkey thrive along the river's edge and surrounding fields, while the Yellowstone itself offers excellent fishing in one of Montana's most sought-after river corridors.
The landscape is as functional as it is beautiful. Roughly 45± acres of irrigated hay ground, native rangeland, and lush riparian corridors create an ideal setting for both agricultural use and wildlife habitat. Towering cottonwoods, sloughs, sheltered bottomlands, and seasonal flows from Bridger Creek round out a property that feels complete in every season. Established water rights and fertile soils support livestock operations without sacrificing the recreational character that makes this ranch genuinely special.
Whether you're settled into a blind on a cold October morning, glassing deer at first light, or listening to a gobbler echo through the bottoms in spring, Mallard Springs delivers an authentic Montana sporting experience that few properties can match. With convenient access to I-90 and the full breadth of the Yellowstone corridor at your doorstep, this is a property built to be used and treasured for generations.
