Hangman’s Creek Ranch is a premier recreational and agricultural property located just 10 miles north of I-90 and approximately 12 miles from Big Timber in the heart of Sweet Grass County, Montana. Ideally positioned between Billings and Bozeman, the ranch is within an easy one-hour drive of both communities, offering a rare balance of privacy and accessibility. The ranch consists of 2,341± deeded acres along with 995± additional leased acres, providing expansive operating room for both livestock and recreation. Improvements include a 3,300± square foot renovated main residence, three additional guest housing units, a new barn with interior and exterior stalls, outdoor riding arena, and a heated 40’ x 80’ shop, creating a turnkey setup for ranching, horses, and equipment. Water is a standout feature, with just under one mile of Sweet Grass Creek frontage, well known for its excellent brown and rainbow trout fishing. Additional seasonal spring creeks, including Sams Creek and Crest Creek, further enhance the property’s water resources. Approximately 28 irrigated acres support hay production and livestock needs. The ranch is well-suited for a 175-200-head cow/calf operation, with existing infrastructure, pasture layout, and water access designed for efficient cattle management. Beyond agriculture, wildlife is abundant, including elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, turkeys, migratory birds, upland birds, and other native species, making the property highly desirable for hunting and recreation.
