Montana is home of some of the most beautiful scenery and the finest Ranches and Horse Properties
 

Horse Trails in Montana

 For many, thankfully, Montana is not known for density. So, fortunately there are numerous places and wide open land to ride your horses. Folks here enjoy wide-open spaces, spectacular views, individuality, courtesy, tolerance, and a big dose of respect on all levels. People are drawn to the beauty of this state from all over the country.

The state ranks fourth in area,
but 44th in population, and therefore has the third lowest population density
in the United States. The economy is primarily based on ranching, wheat farming,
oil and coal in the east; lumber, tourism, and hard rock mining in the west. Millions of tourists annually visit Glacier National Park, the Battle of Little Bighorn
site, and three of the five entrances to Yellowstone National Park.

Glacier National Park has Many Horse Trails

Glacier National Park

When people think of Montana, most think of Yellowstone National Park, and most certainly, the  beauty does not stop at the park’s borders. Interesting guest ranches surround the Park where people ride horses onto some of the most beautiful land imaginable.  Within an 75-mile radius of the park, the scenery is spectacular. The valley provided the backdrop for two Robert Redford movies: The River Runs Through It and The Horse Whisperer.

Although Montana is mostly comprised of very large ranches, there are many smaller acreages primarily for personal and recreational use. In Montana you enjoy a comfortable, but lively, Western lifestyle established 100 years ago that has only been refined in the context of today’s investment and recreational approach to acquiring real estate. Overall, and values have consistently increased, often exceeding national averages for farm and ranch sales. Factors that contribute to land value increases are low interest rates and favorable tax incentives, strong commodity prices and farm programs, out-of area investors and the continuing process of development. Many towns are well located for a fulfilling life, but not so close as to be swamped with “big box” stores and endless chain stores.
