Description: This 777+/--acre mountain ranch - with its home, horse barn, corrals, round pen and watered paddocks - is an ideal base of operations for a horseman .

It is a few hundred yards to fishing on the Stillwater River and just 4 miles to multiple trail heads into the 900,000-acre Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness.

The tastefully-remodeled home overlooks the Stillwater Valley and commands dramatic views of the Beartooths – Montana’s highest mountains.

Adjacent to the house but detached is a log two-car garage. This building as well as a nearby bunk-house were originally built in 1946 and re-roofed in 1995. The bunkhouse was added onto in 1980. This building has a two-story section that now includes a bedroom and a bathroom for living quarters. During the remodel the logs were re-chinked and a cement floor painted.

Adjacent to the bunkhouse is a beautiful barn. It is built of logs and has a river rock foundation with adjoining paddocks. It is 800 square feet and was originally built in 1946. The equestrian facilities are completed by a round corral/training pen which, along with all of the corral fencing, was new eight years ago. There is also a three-sided machine shed which was built to look like old cavalry stables.

Acreage Breakdown:
358 acres of forest land;385 acres of grazing land;33 acres of wild hay; and
1 acre farmstead

The 2006 property taxes were $1,516.

The Castle Rock Ranch fronts on Montana State Highway 420, a two-lane blacktop highway that switches to gravel several miles below the ranch, approximately 35 minutes southwest of the community of Absarokee. Columbus is 45 minutes to the north and the classic mountain town of Red Lodge is 60 minutes southeast. The city of Billings is 1½ hours northeast of the ranch. The Billings commercial airport is the largest in Montana and provides air service through United, Delta, Northwest, Frontier, Horizon/Alaska and Big Sky Airlines
