Madison River Overlook

Listing Price: $2,200,000

With stunning views of the Madison River Valley, the Madison Range and the Taylor Peaks, the 640-acre Madison River Overlook offers access to thousands of acres of State of Montana and BLM lands that borders the ranch on three sides.

This property’s improvements are ideal for the current use as a family getaway, outdoor recreation and fishing ranch.  There are three modern structures, including a custom log home, a three car garage with caretaker’s loft, and a large shop and storage building. 

The centerpiece of the property is a 3BR, 3BA, 4,000+/- sqft luxury log home with sweeping views of the Madison Valley and the Taylor Peaks.  This home has an open floor plan that is ideal for entertaining or enjoying time with family.  An incoming owner will love relaxing on the spacious deck, which overlooks the waterfall and pond or admiring the views by the large river-rock fireplace.  The high ceilings, large log beams and a spacious kitchen are a perfect complement to the area and are just a few of the homes custom features. 

The Madison River Overlook boasts a lined, three-acre trophy trout pond with hand-built re-circulating waterfall.  This great water feature will give a new owner, their family and friends countless hours of fun.  The Upper Madison River is the property’s main attraction for serious anglers, as well as those just itching to start this special sport.  

Within an easy drive of the Ranch, anglers will find almost limitless fishing opportunities.  A short distance inside the park’s gate, flow the Madison, Gibbon, Fire Hole and Nez Perce Creek, and a little farther down the road one finds the Yellowstone, Slough Creek, the Lamar, the Gardner and Soda Butte Creek.  This list of creeks and rivers makes up some of Yellowstone Parks fishing highlights, but there are hundreds of lesser known fisheries to be explored.

Outside the park gate, world-class fly fishing can be found nearby on rivers such as the Gallatin, Madison, Henry’s Fork, South Fork of the Snake, and smaller rivers and creeks too numerous to list. 

Deer, elk, Black bear and small game hunting can be found on the thousands of acres of Gallatin National Forest in the area.  Nonresidents are subject to a lottery-style system to obtain tags for these animals but the draw odds are good and animals numerous.  Moose, Bighorn sheep, Rocky Mountain goat, bison and mountain lion can all be found in the area mountains and forest.  These game animals require a specific permit from Montana Fish & Wildlife Parks to harvest, so start applying and build up preference points for these tags now.
