Property Description

Located on the banks of Yellowstone River and ideally situated between Miles City and Forsyth, Montana, the Oxbow on the Yellowstone is truly an Eastern Montana Sportsman's Paradise. This propery has ideal wetland and upland bird habitat, numerous coulees and foodplots, and over a mile of the Yellowstone River. The large rancher in the area that is splitting off some of his land is willing to work with a buyer to identify a good building envelope and acreage configuration that works for both parties. Excellent access from I-90 along a paved county road is ideal for southeast Montana. If you are looking for your dream mid-sized ranch/hunting property where you can conveniently build your improvements in Big Sky country than this is a must see. As the name suggests, the famed Yellowstone River forms a prominent oxbow on the property's northern boundary, creating about one mile of river frontage and a large peninsula of lush mature cottonwood trees and beach front. Featuring over 640 +/- acres, the Oxbow on the Yellowstone offers a diverse landscape of expansive riparian river bottom to the north that gives way to stands of mature timber, brushy draws, and lush food plots to the south near the headquarters area. The rich soils and diverse vegetation are a true testament to the property's productivity. The Oxbow is one of the locals' favorite spots for sport fishing on the Yellowstone, upriver from Miles City. The railroad has also agreed to build a rail crossing to provide convenient direct access to the prime timber lands and river frontage.

A Sportsman's Paradise, the Oxbow on the Yellowstone is home to deer, elk, antelope, turkey, waterfowl, and a variety of upland game birds. A true waterfowl hunting mecca, this stretch of the Yellowstone River is home to thousands of migrating ducks and geese throughout the fall and early winter as they make their way south from Canada. They choose this area of the river as both a roosting and loafing spot due to the profound oxbow upriver, making this stretch of water their preferred place to rest in-between feeding in the abundant nearby ag lands. Turkeys are abundant in the area and travel up and down the river in all seasons. Pheasants enjoy the knee-high food plots while sharptail grouse and Hungarian partridge can be found in the brushy draws and sage plateaus. Many whitetail deer reside in the timbered draws and feed in the tillable ground planted to barley in the twighlight hours. Mule deer and antelope can be found in the undulating terrain or bedded in the native sage habitat. While Elk are uncommon to see, a few bulls can be found at certain times of the year.

The ranching family that has owned the property now for three generations has grazed the native grasses and farmed the tillable hilltops. The property is well-suited for cattle, horses, or other livestock. A stock well provides water in the main pasture between the interstate and the railroad. Well balanced and with good cover, the property is in good shape for a small herd of livestock.

Power runs along the paved County Road 616, which borders the property. Several ideal homesites with southwesterly exposure and views overlooking a scenic coulee are just off the pavement. The Seller is willing to adjust the boundary after meeting with the Buyer in order to accomplish both parties' goals.

Conveniently located 15 miles from the Custer County seat of Miles City and 130 miles from Montana's largest city of Billings along I-94. Take the Moon Creek exit of I-94 and travel 4 miles to the west. This location is a short drive to the Missouri Breaks, Yellowstone, and hundreds of thousands of acres of Montana public lands.
