Elbow Creek Ranch

Elbow Creek Ranch offers 640± acres of the Old West with excellent county road access and year-round Elbow Creek meandering the lower part of the property. The terrain on the east side of the ranch consists of rolling grass hills and draws of white pines, juniper, and sagebrush. The lush creek bottom has ample water, while the high ridges sport picturesque sandstone outcroppings.

Elk, mule deer, and antelope frequent the grasslands and utilize the creek for water as do upland birds such as sharp-tailed grouse and Hungarian partridge. The west side of the ranch above Elbow Creek Road features a scenic hidden valley with a seasonal spring and fields of wildflowers, which could be an ideal site to build your dream Big Sky Country home with power nearby.

Elbow Creek Ranch is conveniently located 15 minutes from the towns of Red Lodge, Roberts, and Bridger, Montana. Red Lodge is a mountain resort ski town and the gateway to the northeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park via the scenic Beartooth Highway, which is called the “most scenic highway in the United States.”

This area of high mountain foothills along the Beartooth Mountains has long been a favorite place for local ranchers to summer pasture their cattle and horses. In recent years, elk herds have established themselves here with a permanent presence.

With plenty of grass, year-round water, and lots of elbow room, this ranch is ideal for a horse or cattle operation. The abundant native wildlife and prime location place you in the heart of south-central Montana.
