~ Crow hollow ranch ~
This magnificent architecturally designed home is situated on 460+/- very private and scenic acres including 180 acres deeded and 280 acres BLM lease. Crow Hollow borders National Forest with access to miles of National Forest trails. The property is ideally situated in a park like setting at the end of Suce Creek Road in one of Montana’s most desirable areas, the Paradise Valley. The drive to the residence winds its way along the creek under a canopy of ancient Cottonwood trees. A truly one of a kind property set in a private valley, very secluded but not remote, surrounded by mountains.
The main residence is designed as a period style two-story farmhouse and was featured in Architectural Digest and Country Home. The main floor plan is open and includes a massive great room, with a huge stone fireplace, wide plank floors and ceiling beams from 1800,s period barns, also the dinning area and kitchen with French doors accessing the wrap around porch. The country kitchen is commercially appointed with a Wolf range and Sub Zero refrigerator. In addition, on the main floor is a guest bath and two guest bedrooms, one of which accesses the wrap around porch, via French doors, over looking a beautiful stream. The living room windows frame a lush pastoral view with Aspen groves and Pine treed hillsides and a year around stream flowing with in a few feet of the home, providing a soothing, peaceful sound. The second story houses the master suite with an adjacent library/sitting room with built in bookshelves and fireplace, accessed through double doors. Two additional bedrooms are located on the second floor.
The second residence is a three bedroom log guest or rental house nestled in a forested setting at the end of a ranch road. A third dwelling serves as a care-takers residence. The detached garage is built as a small period barn with an upstairs loft.
The land consists of grassy meadows and hillsides with stands of tall pines and groves of Aspen trees plus over a half mile of lush creek bottom with ancient Cottonwoods. The property is a haven for wildlife and teeming with deer. Fishing in the Yellowstone River is just 5 minutes away. The elevation of the property offers dramatic views of the adjacent mountain ranges and Paradise Valley below with the Yellowstone River winding through. In addition to existing homes there are several spectacular build sites. The area was formerly part of the Crow Indian Reservation from the early 1860’s until 1883. This vicinity was a favorite wintering ground for the Crow Indians due to the milder winters, the abundance of game and fresh water.
The area is renown not only as a world-class fishing and big game area, but rich in scenery as well. River rafting and fly-fishing in the legendary Yellowstone River, one of Montana’s favorite rivers, is only 5 minutes from the front gate. The main entrance to Yellowstone National Park is about 45 miles away. The general area is nearly surrounded by public land with over 970,000 acres of wilderness and nearly 2,000,000 acres of National Forest land with approximately 3,000,000 acres of Yellowstone National Park nearby.
Horseback riding, hiking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing can be enjoyed on the property or in the local mountains. Access to a trail network extending for hundreds of miles is adjacent to the property. Cross-country skiing is a favorite winter activity in Yellowstone National Park. For additional summer activities fishing is found in the numerous rivers in the area. Three of Montana’s most popular Spring Creek fisheries, Armstrong/O’Hair, and DePuy Spring Creeks are 15 minutes away and Nelson Spring Creek is just 2 miles from the house. Yellowstone National Park is a favorite for photography expeditions, wildlife viewing, fly fishing and the wonders of nature that are found no where else in the world. One of Montana’s most popular ski resorts, Bridger Bowl, offering downhill skiing plus miles of cross-country ski trails is less than an hour drive from the property.
