A true sportsman’s paradise, Hosford Ranch at Wapiti Valley has it all. This incredibly diverse ranch is nestled in the pine breaks country of the Tongue River Valley in southeastern Montana, near the town of Birney, Montana. The ranch is also within close proximity to the historic western town of Sheridan, Wyoming, providing commercial air service, fine dining, shopping, arts, and medical facilities. The ranch is approximately 3,696 total acres in size and adjoins an additional 5,000+ acres of State and Federal lands with limited access.

The ranch and surrounding area provide extraordinary big-game hunting for trophy elk, mule deer, and white-tailed deer with several record class animals, including the famed “Phantom Bull.” This staggering bull elk scored 436” and spent much of his life on the ranch. There have been another 4-5 bulls harvested in the area in recent years that have scored between 400-425″. The ranch also sports approximately one-mile of river frontage of the Tongue River which provides endless fishing opportunities for rainbow trout, walleye, bass, crappie, perch, and northern pike, as well as action-packed waterfowl hunting through the fall and early winter season. Other hunting opportunities include turkey, black bear, mountain lion, all of which are plentiful on the ranch and surrounding area. The ranch also has miles of two-track roads and trails, making the ranch very accessible by vehicle, ATV, mountain bike, foot, and horseback.

The ranch includes a wonderful and well maintained 2,700 sq. ft. custom log home with a detached 2 stall garage and heated gun room. The home is situated on an elevated scenic overlook, with incredible vistas of the Tongue River, irrigated meadows, and forested foothills. There are also several historic yet functional cabins, a horse barn, and a shop. The ranch has very good water rights, and capable of irrigating approximately 95 acres, along with several strong domestic and stock wells and natural spring-fed impoundments. The ranch is owner rated at 100-150 animals units but has been traditionally leased by a large adjacent ranch for seasonal grazing.

Redstone Reserve at Horsetooth

Fort Collins, Colorado (Larimer County)

Redstone Reserve is located in the Redstone/Masonville area west of Fort Collins and Loveland CO in Larimer County, near the junction of County Road 25E and 38E. It is in the foothills/hogback country just southwest of Horsetooth Reservoir. County Road 25E is also known as Redstone Canyon Road; it bisects the property, separating the riparian area to the east from the more mountainous shrubland acreage to the west;
Although only fifteen minutes to both Fort Collins and Loveland, the area has been largely preserved by Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins, with Redstone Reserve being adjacent to Horsetooth Mountain Park and Open Space and Culver Open Space;
The large redstone-crowned mesa that serves as the backdrop to the property and its main residential area rises 850 feet over the property to the east, sheltering the property from the metro area;
Redstone Creek traverses the property from north to south; it is a seasonal stream that supports a healthy cottonwood-lined riparian area;
While the main operations of the ranch are located along the creek at a comfortable, four-season elevation of 5,400 feet, The Reserve is home to many elevation changes and orientations, and thus possesses a diversity of scenic resources and ecological communities, from foothills grassland, to mountain mahogany shrublands, to ponderosa pine woodlands, and desert cacti. Larimer County and Fort Collins’ Open Space programs found the property’s attributes to be compelling enough to work with the current owner to preserve those values – details on its conservation easement (CE) are below, or contact the listing agent;
Horsetooth Reservoir is a popular recreational area for boating, fishing, and paddleboarding, and has beaches for swimming and picnicking, too; it is a five-minute drive from the property;
Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University and a vibrant downtown filled with restaurants, shopping, music, and culture;
The Northern Colorado Airport for private aircraft is 20 minutes away in Loveland, and Rocky Mountain National Park is forty minutes away in Estes Park.
