8015 Buffalo Creek Road, Custer – 800-Acre Montana Ranch

Discover an exceptional opportunity with this unique 800-acre ranch (760 deeded, 40 BLM), a rare find only five miles from Custer. Located less than an hour east of Billings, this property offers a blend of seclusion and convenience. The neighbors are friendly, but the land provides a sense of privacy, bordering 1600+ acres of BLM land for space to ride, hunt or fish. Imagine ending each day on the front porch, captivated by a stunning vista of the Pine Ridge and a Montana sunset.

Established in 2006, this ranch was designed for versatility. It is the perfect year-round home for a small cow and horse herd but is equally suited to serve as part of a larger operation. The property has served as winter pasture with feed for 100 replacement heifers and 100 first-calf heifers that are calved out in the facilities. The ranch features four large pastures, two free from Ponderosa Pine. Water is plentiful, supplied by two wells and two intermittent springs. Three pastures boast improved crested wheat forage, which can be hayed some years,  yielding an average of 100 tons of hay.

The well-equipped facilities include multiple corrals, highlighted by a 190′ x 130′ continuous panel arena and four smaller pens. A continuous panel round pen and automatic waterers complete the setup. The 36′ x 48′ barn is built for function, featuring an insulated tack room, an insulated shop/storage area, and dedicated hay storage. It includes three permanent wooden stalls (which require front panels) and a spacious timber-floored tie stall for two horses. There is a small set of continuous fence shipping corrals conveniently located near Buffalo Creek Road.

The ranch home is a log-sided cabin offering a cozy atmosphere. The main section was built in 2006 and is a 16′ x 36′ structure, seamlessly joined by a 14′ x 28′ addition that was built in 2015. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, the home is perfect for relaxed country living. A separate sitting room provides an additional retreat, and two gas stoves keep the space warm and inviting. Multiple porches and a concrete patio provide places to soak in the incredible scenery.

The owners are happy to be creating an incredible opportunity for the property’s next steward.
