Schmidt Ranch South

Schmidt Ranch South is a legacy landholding, offering unparalleled private enjoyment just 10± minutes from downtown Bozeman, Montana. Spanning 964± deeded acres south of Moffit Gulch Road, the property is the protected core of the historic Schmidt Ranch: one contiguous block of timbered ridges, aspen draws, open meadows, and winding creeks. Breathtaking views of the Bridger Mountain ridgeline lie to the north, with sweeping mountain views in every direction.

Of the deeded acres, 864± are protected under a conservation easement with the Gallatin Valley Land Trust, ensuring a legacy of preservation while allowing limited subdivision. The eased land may be divided into as many as three parcels, each of which can carry one of the residential development rights for a primary residence and a guest or caretaker house, offering multiple ownership alternatives. The remaining 100± acres lie outside the easement that adds a fourth homesite under Bozeman Pass zoning, and several small tracts of record near the I-90 Trail Creek interchange with further potential.

Schmidt Ranch South is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with exceptional archery elk hunting and consistent rutting herds on the property each fall, along with deer, moose, black bear, turkey, and mountain grouse. The property borders a mile of Gallatin National Forest, expanding access to hunting, hiking, cross-country skiing, and more. Rarely does a property offering this much protected recreational land, along with genuine flexibility in how it can be owned, come available so close to Bozeman.
