Greycliff Hunting Preserve

For the serious sportsman, this 1,280± acre property offers an outstanding combination of quality big-game habitat, privacy, and a productive working ranch. With large bull elk and mature mule deer bucks regularly using the property, hunting is the centerpiece of what makes this ranch special. The property is located in Montana Hunting District 515, an area known for its year-round elk habitat. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks describes the district as a mix of grasslands, scattered timbered breaks and agricultural ground, with elk using much of the district as year-round range. The ranch's rolling hills, steeper slopes, brush-filled draws, timber, open meadows and multiple live springs create the kind of diverse habitat that big game seek throughout the year. The combination of cover, water and 167 acres of tillable ground provides excellent forage and the opportunity to establish food plots specifically to enhance wildlife habitat and hunting. Elk are a major attraction, with the property offering the opportunity to pursue large bulls in a private-land setting. Mule deer are equally appealing, with mature bucks utilizing the combination of open country, brush and timbered areas. Antelope and upland game birds add to the diversity of the hunting experience. A network of trails extending across the property provides excellent side-by-side access, allowing hunters to efficiently reach different portions of the ranch while also providing access to springs, meadows, timbered draws and glassing areas. The property also borders 320 acres of landlocked BLM ground within the Hobble Diamond, adding to the sense of privacy and expanding the recreational setting. The ranch is currently operated as a working livestock property, carrying approximately 100 cow/calf pairs and 120 ewes. The agricultural operation complements the wildlife component, with the open ground and tillable acres providing both livestock forage and opportunities to enhance habitat for game. Two modest manufactured homes provide basic accommodations for owners, guests or ranch help. The property is accessed easily from Deadmans Canyon Road and is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes from Bozeman and about an hour from Billings. With no restrictions, live springs, productive tillable ground, adjoining BLM, established livestock use and exceptional big-game habitat, this is a property built around the Montana hunting experience. The real draw, however, is the wildlife—large bull elk, mature mule deer bucks and the opportunity to manage and hunt a substantial private Montana holding on your own terms.
