Offered for the first time in over 40 years, this exceptional 68.95-acre property lies approximately eight miles east of Livingston along the banks of the Yellowstone River, one of Montana's premier trout fishing rivers. With over 1,600 feet of river frontage, a mix of wooded river bottom and productive sub-irrigated acreage, and a remarkable connection to Montana history, this is a truly special offering.
The land offers both natural beauty and agricultural productivity, with sub-irrigated acres producing an estimated 6-10 tons of hay annually. Wildlife is abundant, with moose, bears, mountain lions, coyotes, deer, owls, turkeys, eagles, ducks, and geese among the regular visitors.
Mature trees along the river and throughout the property provide habitat, privacy, and a quintessential Montana landscape. The property also holds a unique place in local history. It is believed to have been the site of a militia-built fort dating to approximately 1867 and, according to the Montana Historical Society, the last place John Bozeman stayed overnight before his death.
At the heart of the property is a comfortable residence that dates to 1914 and has been remodeled and expanded over the years. The home offers 1,866 square feet on the main level, along with an additional 234 square feet of finished attic space that provides a light-filled office or flex area with stunning views.
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are complemented by a private setting, a mature shelterbelt, and a beautifully landscaped yard. A greenhouse, chicken coop, equipment shed, and spacious garage/shop round out the improvements. Pride of ownership is evident throughout.
Located in the rural landscape east of Livingston, the property enjoys a setting where farms and ranches stretch across the valley toward the spectacular Crazy Mountains. Each season brings its own beauty and opportunities for outdoor recreation, while Livingston's shops, restaurants, and amenities are approximately a 10-15-minute drive away via paved roads for convenient, year-round access.
With no covenants or HOA, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of Montana riverfront. Buyers should note that much of the acreage lies within the floodplain, with designated floodway along the river. For those seeking a property with history, productive acreage, abundant wildlife, and an extraordinary stretch of the Yellowstone River, this is a legacy offering worth experiencing firsthand.
