About this House
S Bar Ranch – 19,816± Acres North of Custer, Yellowstone County, Montana
Located approximately five miles north of Custer, Montana, and the Yellowstone River,
the S Bar Ranch offers an exceptional combination of size, production, and recreation in
one of the most desirable ranching regions of the state. With paved access and only an
hour’s drive to Billings and its international airport, this ranch is both productive and
convenient.
This well-cared-for ranch has never been overgrazed and features high-quality native
grass supporting a carrying capacity of approximately 600 cow/calf pairs. The property
is cross-fenced into 14 pastures, with strategically placed water tanks served by 15
electric wells and one solar well. Additional water resources include 12 reservoirs that
hold water consistently and eight seasonal springs, ensuring reliable livestock and
wildlife water throughout the year.
The ranch’s fencing is in excellent condition, with updates completed after the 2021
wildfire. Power is provided by NorthWestern Energy, and road access is excellent via a
maintained county road off Musselshell Trail Road.
Ranch improvements include two well-kept homes and multiple working facilities. The
main residence is a 2,288± sq. ft. 2003 double-wide with three bedrooms and two
bathrooms. The second home, built in 1975, is 2,624± sq. ft. with three bedrooms and
two bathrooms—ideal for a guest house or ranch manager’s quarters. A heated 26’ x
61’ shop offers ample space for maintenance and storage.
The ranch also includes an exceptional processing area, barn, loading chute, and
sorting alleys covering approximately five acres. The handling system features a
heavy-duty squeeze chute and processing drum, designed for both buffalo and cattle.
Wildlife is abundant, with Hungarian partridge, sharptail grouse, sage grouse, mule
deer, antelope, and elk commonly found across the property. The ranch lies within FWP
Hunting District 701, with 590 for elk, and qualifies for landowner preference tags.
The terrain consists of rolling hills and native grassland, with timber ridges on the south
end of the property offering natural protection and scenic beauty. The productive soils
and consistent water make it ideal for both livestock and wildlife management.
The S Bar Ranch is a versatile operation supporting cow/calf, yearling, and horse
programs, with potential fall grazing leases that may transfer to the buyer. The ranch
has not been hunted in three years, leaving wildlife populations strong—particularly
mule deer and upland birds.
With its combination of excellent grass, water, improvements, and access, opportunities
of this scale and quality are increasingly rare in the Custer–Bull Mountains region. The
S Bar Ranch represents an outstanding chance to own a proven working ranch with
impressive recreational appeal.
