$1,250,000
The Langford Ranch is located outside of the town of Reed Point, Montana. Reed Point has a genuine feeling of the Wild West and is one of the smallest communities along the Yellowstone River, home to approximately 200 residents. The town boasts such traditions as the annual “Great Montana Sheep Drive” which includes a parade, carnival games, street dance and food and craft vendors. Reed Point is also a stop on the annual Yellowstone River Boat Float due to its great fishing and swim holes.
An hour east is the city of Billings, which offers something for the entire family with fine dining, shopping, a university, busy business district, quiet neighborhoods, cultural activities and a commercial airport.
The 125-acre Langford Ranch’s topography features lush river bottom lined with mature stands of cottonwood trees and a peppering of junipers that lead out to irrigated pasturelands. Approximately 65 of these acres are currently used for a small sheep herd. Stunning mountain views are provided by the Beartooth Mountain Range to the south and the Crazy Mountain Range to the north. Due to the verdant nature of the land, The Langford Ranch could be an exceptional equestrian ranch.
The Langford Ranch has approximately 1/2 mile of Yellowstone River frontage. This section of the Yellowstone is often forgotten by anglers but offers long, deep holes and riffles. Healthy populations of brown trout as well as rainbows and cutthroats are found lurking in these waters and the Yellowstone offers a variety of options for the fly fisherman. Internationally known as one of the premier trout waters in the United States, it is best fished from a boat due to its fast currents and depth but can also be an exciting experience for the wade angler.
The bow hunter will be delighted with the numbers of Whitetail deer and turkey on the property. The Langford Ranch is also home to fox, coyote, Mule deer, waterfowl and the occasional Hungarian Partridge.
