unique locations like Buffalo Range Ranch as an investment as well
as a place to live or have a second home. As restrictions
grow and land becomes more scarce finding that perfect 20 acre
parcel that has lots of water, lots of view, four seasons, world
class fishing, hunting, out of door hiking, horseback riding, water
sports (all close by)...well, that's why the discriminating buyer
will find the value they seek in Hot Springs at the Buffalo Range
Ranch.
Why is it so warm in the winter and cool
in the summer?
The Little Bitterroot Valley is protected on
two sides by the Cabinet Mountains on the west and America's largest
western lake (Flathead Lake) on the east under the Mission Mountains. This
protection offers cooler summers and warmer winters than most of
Montana and the west.
Why is it so far from a big city?
Keeping the busy rush of commercialism
away from your front doorstep is in keeping with the traditions
of the Little Bitterroot Valley and Hot Springs, Montana. Actually,
it's a little over an hour to Montana's 2 nd largest city, Missoula. There
you will have your fill of Wal-Mart, Costco, mall shopping, University
of Montana, and all those things that are everywhere, like fast
food restaurants.
How is the hunting, fishing, and out-of-doors
life?
There are 2 million acres of Wilderness area
in this neck of Montana. Hunting is great for deer, elk,
moose, bear, and buffalo. Fishing is outstanding for trout,
yellow perch, whitefish, and sturgeon. You can ride your
snowmobile, downhill ski or board, or cross country ski or snowshoe
in quite a few magnificent places that are accessible without crowding
and easy to get to.
What kind of rules and regulations keep neighbors
from trashing up the land next to my ranch?
Buffalo Range Ranch has created a few rules
to keep your neighbor from messing up the beauty of your ranch. In
short, no mobile homes, junk, peacocks, ugly homes, or grazed-to-earth
pasture is permitted. Click here

hour emergency medical team. A hospital is located

Do you have enough water?
With global warming such a "hot" issue this
a real fair question. Yep, our wells show flows of 150 +
gallons per minute at a level of only 240 feet or so. This
means you would have enough water for your needs.
Are there schools nearby and are they any
good?
Schools are 5 miles away in Hot Springs from
grades Kindergarten to 12 th Grade. The University of Montana
is 75 miles away and you can pick up your Bachelors, Masters, or
Doctorate there. The quality of education is terrific. Please

majestic scenery, riding buddies, and everything you have ever
wanted to do with your horse or the one you want to have is available. Just
bring your cowboy hat, put on your smile, and get ready for the
formerly wild west to tame your heart.
We have a home business; can we operate it
from our Buffalo Range Ranch?

you have building guidelines?

How big is 20 acres?
20 acres is about ¾ of a mile all the
way around your ranch if you were to ride or walk it. Generally
the ranches are 1320 feet by 660 feet. This is more than
4 football fields long and 2 football fields wide. Big enough?
Is an airport nearby ?

airport, while our marvelous Hot Springs has its own airport for
private pilots to enjoy. Please fly in and visit us.

mobile, snow ski, snow shoe, snow board, throw snowballs?

Powder Mountain, Turner Mountain, and Blacktail Mountain.

I like summer sports; where can I take my
boat to a large lake, where can I take it to a large river, where
can I: hike, camp, play, take my kids, take my honey?
Boat to Large Lake - hopefully the largest
lake west of the Mississippi (Flathead Lake) will work for you. It

very nice lakes are Little Bitterroot Lake and Swan Lake. Of
course there are hundreds of smaller lakes that will suit the
